Pasta with Braisng Mix

½ lb. braising mix, washed but not dried
2 tbsp. olive oil
4 cloves garlic
¼ tsp. red pepper flakes
1/3 cup vegetable stock
½ cup cooked cannelloni beans, rinsed and drained
12 oz uncooked pasta- any kind you like
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Bring 3 quarts of water to a boil. Prepare the greens by ripping the leaves off the stems. Tear into bite-size pieces. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add
garlic and red pepper flakes; sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the greens and stock; cover pan. Cook until greens are wilted and tender yet still bright green, about 7 minutes.
Gently stir in the beans and keep warm. While the greens are cooking, drop pasta into boiling water; cook until al dente, about 10 minutes; drain and stir into the greens.

1 ½ pounds Yukon Potatoes, cut into ¼ inch dice
2 leeks, white part only, cut into ¼ inch dice
2/3 cup crème fraîche
1 tbsp. white wine vinegar
2 tbsp. minced parsley
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook until barely tender, about 20 minutes. Add the leeks and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 2 to
3 minutes longer. Drain the potatoes and leeks and cool under running water; drain again and pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, whisk the crème
fraîche with the vinegar and parsley; season with salt and pepper to taste. Fold in the potatoes and leeks and serve.

Freshly ground pepper
1 large bulb fennel, white part only, sliced thinly
½ red onion, thinly sliced
6 radishes, thinly sliced

Turnip Bisque with Crispy Shallots

1 lb turnips, pared and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 ¼ cup potatoes, cut into 1 inch cubes
3 cups vegetable broth
2 tsp. olive oil
1 cup thinly sliced shallots
freshly ground pepper to taste
1 pinch nutmeg

In a 3-quart saucepan over high heat, combine the turnips, potatoes, and 2 cups vegetable broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook 15 minutes, until
vegetables are tender; let cool slightly. While the vegetables are cooking, place a large skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds; add oil and heat for 30 seconds more. Stir in
shallots; reduce heat to low. Cover and cook shallots, stirring occasionally, 13-15 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from heat. In a food processor, puree the turnip
mixture until smooth and return to saucepan. Stir in remaining vegetable broth, freshly ground pepper, and nutmeg; heat through. Sprinkle shallot over the top after placing
the soup in serving bowls.
