Bulgogi (Korean steak) “Aside from kimchi (hot pickled cabbage), bulgogi is probably the national dish of Korea,” says Stuart Liptay. “There are many different ways of cooking it from stir-frying to the traditional charcoal grill, which looks like an inverted helmet.” An electric indoor grill mimics the traditional charcoal barbecue and makes this “a wonderful dish to make at home.” He found this recipe, “the best he’s ever seen,” in a Korean cookbook.

If I am very lucky, I can sometimes get them straight off the boats as they come into the harbour. I like them pan-fried with butter in an old cast iron frying pan with all the flavours soaking up into them from the pan. I hope you enjoy them too!
“Scallops are best fresh, or second-best flash-frozen, and then thawed at room temperature just before cooking. Pat them dry with a towel before you cook them.” One of my favourite dishes is spanakopita—phyllo turnovers filled with spinach and feta cheese. I like wild greens so I started replacing spinach with stinging nettles, and then adding dandelions, lamb’s quarters and mustard greens. The result is delicious and healthy. I later realized that the dish I thought I had ‘invented’ is actually a Greek dish called “hortapitta.” In Greek, “pitta” means pie, “spana” means spinach and “horta” refers to an assortment of wild greens. The recipe is flexible and forgiving. Phyllo is easy to work with once you understand that it doesn’t really matter if it's wrinkled or even rips a bit. It will still taste and look great in the end. “In my younger days, it was a family affair to go collect goosetongue greens,” recounts Jocelyne Gauvin of Cocagne. “My grandparents, my parents and the kids—we all loaded up in a small vehicle all sitting on each other's knees— no seat belts back then. We would go out to the salt marshes.” “The goosetongue greens were used in boiled dinner. First, we would cook the goosetongue greens. We would put them in a pot of water, let it come to a boil, and then drain the water, add new water, and bring it to a boil again. In total, the water was changed three times. We did this with both fresh and salted goosetongue greens. This way, they wouldn't taste as strong. My parents would add a bit of baking soda, perhaps to sweeten them or to help keep the green colour.” Check out the following recipes for Maple baked brie, Maple Scones, Maple baked beans, and Maple butter tarts!

Lacto-fermentation is a complicated word for a simple process: a way to preserve food by allowing it to ferment. You can learn the art of lacto-fermentation on Sunday, September 24th from 1:30 to 4:30pm at the Albert County Museum in Hopewell Cape. Summer savory plays a significant role in the food culture of Atlantic Canada. The herb is associated with holiday food and traditional meals. For example, turkey stuffing is often made with summer savory rather than sage (which is common in the rest of Canada). Summer savory (“sarriette” in French) plays a special role in Acadian food culture. The herb is the main seasoning in fricot (chicken or rabbit stew) in Acadian communities in New Brunswick. It is also a component of the Herbes de Provence mix. Seeds and stories are passed down between generations. Traditionally, gardeners saved much of their own seed and shared it with friends, families and neighbours. The names of some varieties reflect the story behind the seed. For example, Wild Goose beans were found in the gullet of a goose. Mortgage Lifter tomatoes sold so well they allowed the farmer who developed them to pay off his mortgage. What about the stories from our region? Atlantic Seed Stories is an inter-generational project that connects people to their past, children to their elders, and a community to their food supply. We would like to collect stories about heirloom seeds, grow out these seeds at community gardens, and then share the seeds. If you have seeds or stories to share, or suggestions of people I should contact, please email Janet Wallace at janetwallace@xplornet.com |
