      Artichoke Stew

      Ingredients:

      2 small lemons, halved, plus juice to garnish

      15 baby artichokes

      1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 

      1 red onion, thinly sliced

      1 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes

      1/2 cup dry white wine

      1 pound fresh peas, shelled

      4 bunches scallions, root ends trimmed and whites and greens cut into 2-inch pieces

      Salt, to taste

      Freshly ground pepper, to taste

      1 bunch fresh mint leaves

      Directions:

      1. Fill a large bowl with water and squeeze the lemon halves into it.

      2. Remove and discard the tough outer leaves of the artichokes and trim the stems. Then cut the artichokes in half and scoop out the choke. As you work, submerge the halved artichokes in the lemon water.

      3. In a Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot, add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes, the wine, 1 cup of hot water, the peas, and the drained artichokes. Cover and cook until the artichokes are just tender, 10–12 minutes. Add the scallions, cover, and reduce the heat to a simmer. Cook until the scallions are wilted and soft, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. 

      4. Tear the mint leaves into pieces and sprinkle them over the stew. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Serve warm or at room temperature.

      Serves 4 To 6

      Barley And Mushroom Casserole

      Ingredients:

      1/4 cup butter

      1 medium onion, diced

      1 cup uncooked pearl barley

      1/2 cup pine nuts

      2 green onions, thinly sliced

      1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

      1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

      1/4 teaspoon salt

      1/8 teaspoon pepper

      2 cans vegetable broth

      Directions:

      1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

      2. Melt butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in onion, barley, and pine nuts. Cook and stir until barley is lightly browned. Mix in green onions, mushrooms, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to a 2 quart casserole dish, and stir in the vegetable broth. 

      3. Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until liquid has been absorbed and barley is tender.

      Serves 4

      Bruschetta with Peas

      Ingredients:

      4 cups thawed frozen peas

      1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

      Freshly ground black pepper

      1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

      1/2 baguette, cut into slices

      Directions:

      1. In a food processor or blender, mix the ricotta, lemon zest, Parmesan and mint.

      2. Add peas to the food processor. Pulse just until the mixture comes together so it’s still chunky.

      3. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl, add black pepper and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

      4. Heat a grill pan to medium-high. Brush the pieces of bread with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill on each side until crisp, about 1–2 minutes per side.
