Broccoli Pesto! (Oct. 18 food sample)

• 1 head broccoli (around 2 cups)
• A couple of stems fresh pungent herb (I used sage but basil or oregano or even mint would work)
• zest and juice of half a lemon
• 1/2 cup or so nuts of some kind (I used sunflower seed butter, because that's what I had on hand, but walnuts or hazelnuts would be nice, or almonds, or ...)
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 T brewer's yeast or Parmesan cheese
• 2 T water
• salt & pepper
• olive oil (half cup or more)

NB: All quantities should be adjusted to taste, and feel free to add other stuff (olives or sun-dried tomatoes or what have you).

1. Cut broccoli into florets. If using, peel stem and cut into small chunks.
2. Steam or microwave broccoli briefly until bright green and still somewhat snappy.
3. Drain broccoli and shock with cold water to retain color.
4. Combine all ingredients except oil in food processor and begin to process
5. Drizzle olive oil in while it processes. Stop and taste, adjust seasoning, and keep adding oil until the puree has enough smooth body (at least a half cup oil, maybe more).

Serve with crackers, as a sandwich spread, on a baked potato, tossed with pasta, etc.

Important Message Regarding Checks Payable

Dear Shareholders,

 

A change in our bank's methods of administering our Cuyahoga County account has occurred.

 

Starting immediately, all checks for shareholders in the Cleveland area must be made payable to "The NAC" or "New Agrarian Center"

 

Some of you may be asked to rewrite a recent check. We apologize for the inconvenience.

 

As you know, City Fresh is a program of the New Agrarian Center. As a program, it has no legal identity of its own.  While the bank has allowed us to have checks written to the program for several years, their internal auditor and legal department have decided that an urgent change is necessary.  All checks must be made payable to the name of the business on the account as it is reflected in the state filing - for us, that is "The New Agrarian Center" often shortened to just "The NAC" 

 

We are very sorry to trouble you with this late-season change. Thank you so much for being a part of the City Fresh family.

 

Sincerely,

 

Nick Swetye

Director of City Fresh
