Zuppa Toscana – Sausage, Potato, Kale & White Bean Tuscan Soup Recipe

This pressure canning recipe for Zuppa Toscana is a flavorful, substantial soup that combines Italian sausage, potatoes, white beans and greens to make a delicious, pantry-ready meal. This recipe was developed using the guidelines in FNH-00065, "Canning Soups and Sauces", a bulletin released by the University of Alaska, Fairbanks Cooperative Extension, which permits using diced celery and onion in make-your-own brothy soup recipes, even though those two ingredients do not have listed individual processing times per the USDA Choice Soup canning guidelines. It has not been individually lab-tested but was written in accordance with these safe-canning guidelines. You can also skip the pressure canning steps, simmer the soup until done, and serve or freeze right away!

Winter Tabbouleh Salad

This winter tabbouleh salad is a seasonally-appropriate adaptation of this Mediterranean traditional staple dish. I make this in the fall and winter when the usual produce ingredients aren't available (yeah, you can buy them, but they aren't local or very good). Instead of the tomatoes and cucumbers, we use crunchy cabbage and radishes, along with generous amounts of parsley, lemon, and bulghur wheat. It's a brightly-flavored vegan side dish or light lunch that does not taste like "health food"... though it is packed with vitamins and fiber!  This recipe makes a big batch, so if you aren't feeding a crowd, or making your lunches for the week, you can scale it back or cut it in half- the procedure is the same.
