This is a great use for the little Thai eggplants, and pretty easy to make.

This is a great recipe, warm and filling. It uses dry beans, winter squash, and frozen corn, as well as onions, canned tomatoes, and garlic. All of these might be in your winter pantry if you managed to plan ahead a little - and if not, they're all available at the coop! This recipe is adapted from one in Feeding the Whole Family by Cynthia Lair.

You could easily sub any winter squash for the pumpkin, and bacon for the pancetta. The basic risotto method lends itself to a variety of additions, and squash is one of the best. Even though it takes a while, it's very easy and the end product is SO good.
This recipe is from the Food Network.

Scapes are the flower stalk of the garlic plant. We snip them off because that helps the garlic bulb develop better - and, conveniently, they're also delicious! You can use them in just about any place you'd use garlic or onions - just chop them up, excluding the long flower bud on the end, which usually isn't very tasty. This pesto is one of the best ways to use this short-lived treat.

Easy Ramps Pasta 06/02/2010
 
8-10 Ramps     Olive Oil
½ Lb Pasta    Fresh Lemon Juice

Cook the pasta according to package directions. While the pasta water is heating, prepare the ramps. Clean them if necessary, and chop into one-inch pieces. Sautee the ramps in plenty of olive oil until wilted. Drain the pasta when it’s done, then toss with the ramps. Add a dash of lemon juice to each plate and season with salt. Enjoy!

This amazing dish is based on a recipe from Alice Water's book Chez Panisse Vegetables. If you think you don't like Brussels sprouts, try it anyway.
