Erin was leafing through it, reading out awesome-sounding dish after awesome-sounding dish, so we figured as new vegetarians we might as well buy our first vegetarian cookbook.<\/p>\n<p>What we didn&#8217;t realize in the store was that a lot of these recipes are REALLY involved, often referencing other recipes, which reference other recipes, and so on for eight or nine iterations.&nbsp; Ok, not really.&nbsp; But one iteration.&nbsp; This recipe is pretty easy though (with no iterations!), except that it requires a good bit of chopping and some time at the stove.&nbsp; Definitely more fun with two people, just like see-sawing.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-30688\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-0051.jpg\" alt=\"Woman cooking drinking wine\" width=\"323\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-0051.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-0051-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-0051-500x375.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-0051-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-0051-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px\" \/><strong>This dish is loaded with vegetables: swiss chard, leeks, carrots, asparagus, snow peas, mushrooms, and herbs. <\/strong> In fact, it&#8217;s essentially a pile of vegetables with some sauce on the plate.&nbsp; But what a delightful pile it is.&nbsp; Part of what makes it so delightful is that there&#8217;s a substantial amount of butter in the dish.&nbsp; <strong>I try not to use much butter&nbsp; when I cook, but more and more I&#8217;m becoming convinced that saturated fat isn&#8217;t all that bad for us.<\/strong> Michael Pollan and Mark Bittman both believe it was rather unfairly associated with heart disease when some studies showed a very weak correlation in the 1960&#8217;s.&nbsp; Like all fat though, butter is very calorie-dense, so I wouldn&#8217;t eat it at every meal or anything.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll keep this short and get right to the recipe so you can get your (hopefully skinny by now) butt into the kitchen to start chopping.&nbsp; <strong>This meal was <em>fantastic<\/em>.&nbsp; Erin and I both loved it.<\/strong> Five cows out of five, no doubt about it.&nbsp; The beurre blanc sauce and fresh tarragon (Erin&#8217;s favorite herb) were the perfect finish.&nbsp; The vegetable stew was so rich and delicious, you couldn&#8217;t have paid me to add meat to it.&nbsp; I loved the polenta&#8211; this was the first time I&#8217;d made it the real way&#8211; but Erin has never been a polenta fan so she could have done with rice or mashed potatoes instead.&nbsp; That certainly would speed things up too.&nbsp; We had a nice unoaked (but still nice and vanilla-y) Chardonnay from the dog-friendly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.muttlynchwinery.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mutt Lynch<\/a> winery.&nbsp; Linus had a small taste and approved, but seems a little concerned over the photo setup.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-30715\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-036.jpg\" alt=\"Dog pictured with wine and glass\" width=\"210\" height=\"280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-036.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-036-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/05\/meals-036-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 210px) 100vw, 210px\" \/>Last thing before I give you the recipe&#8211; all this chopping of vegetables got me to thinking.&nbsp; My friend and NMA reader (and guest-poster) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomeatathlete.com\/guest-post-by-pete\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pete<\/a> was telling me about some of his cooking-learning curve woes, since he&#8217;s new to it.&nbsp; <strong>So I&#8217;m going to put together a list of all the great, easy tricks I&#8217;ve learned for preparing individual ingredients<\/strong> (for example, to find out where to snap the ends off asparagus, just bend one until it breaks, then line the others up and cut them to that length).&nbsp; I&#8217;m thinking this will be something that you can print out and refer to whenever you use a new ingredient, <strong>so you&#8217;ll learn what&#8217;s taken me a few years, in a matter of days.<\/strong> So look for that post soon!<\/p>\n<p>Ok here&#8217;s the recipe.&nbsp; It&#8217;s not as simple as most of what I make, but trust me, it&#8217;s worth it.&nbsp; Do all the chopping after you start the polenta, since that part takes over an hour to cook but doesn&#8217;t require much attention.<\/p>\n<h3>Recipe for Vegetarian Asparagus Ragout with Polenta<\/h3>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\" data-rating=\"0\">\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Vegetarian Asparagus Ragout with Polenta<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERClear\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">Matt Frazier<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4 servings<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredients\">\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>1 bunch red swiss chard with stems (if you can only find green, fine)<\/li>\n<li>sea salt and black pepper<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp butter (we used salted butter)<\/li>\n<li>5 teaspoons canola oil<\/li>\n<li>1\/3 cup finely diced leek or onion<\/li>\n<li>8 carrots, peeled, sliced lengthwise, and cut into three-inch lengths<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 cup dry white wine<\/li>\n<li>1 bunch asparagus, thick ends snapped off<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 lb snow peas<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 pound mushrooms (we mixed cremini and shiitake), stems removed, halved or quartered<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp fresh tarragon<\/li>\n<li>Beurre blanc Ingredients:<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup white wine vinegar (we used sherry vinegar, and less since it&#8217;s strong)<\/li>\n<li>1\/4 cup dry white wine<\/li>\n<li>2 Tbsp finely diced shallot (use some of the onion or leek if you don&#8217;t have shallot)<\/li>\n<li>sea salt and black pepper<\/li>\n<li>6 Tbsp cold butter, cut into pieces<\/li>\n<li>Polenta Ingredients (you need a double boiler for this):<\/li>\n<li>1.5 tsp sea salt<\/li>\n<li>1 cup cornmeal<\/li>\n<li>1 Tbsp butter<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERInstructions\">\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li>First start the polenta. Boil a few inches of water in the lower half of a double boiler, then reduce to simmer. Meanwhile, boil a quart of water in the top of the double boiler, placed directly on stove. Once it&#8217;s boiling, whisk in cornmeal and sea salt until it&#8217;s smooth. Place on top of the bottom part of the double boiler, still simmering, cover, and cook for a little over and hour or so until it&#8217;s cooked all the way through. Stir every 20 minutes or so and make sure there&#8217;s always water in the bottom of the boiler.<\/li>\n<li>For the beurre blanc, simmer the vinegar wine, shallot, and a pinch of salt in a pan and reduce it down to 2 Tbsp. Off the heat, whisk in the butter one piece at a time, to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. You can do this while you&#8217;re cooking the vegetables if you want.<\/li>\n<li>For the ragout, chop the leaves off the chard stems and very roughly chop the leaves. Chop the stems into 2-inch lengths. Boil 3 cups water, add a little salt, and simmer the stems for 5 minutes, then add leave and cook for another 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.<\/li>\n<li>Heat 1 Tbsp each of butter and oil in large skillet that has a lid. Cook onion and carrots over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to medium. Add wine, and when the pan is almost dry add 1 cup water and the asparagus. Season with salt, lower heat more, cover, and cook until tender, 6 more minutes. Add peas for 2 minutes.<\/li>\n<li>Heat the rest of the butter and oil in a wide skillet over high heat. When butter foams, add mushrooms and saute until browned, about 5 minutes. Then reduce heat to medium for 3-4 more minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper.<\/li>\n<li>Put some vegetables on each plate, top with chard and stems, some pan juice, some beurre blanc, mushrooms, and tarragon. Serve alongside polenta.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.2.2929<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Erin and I have been to the farmers market plenty recently, but I believe this is the first time we&#8217;ve bought something in the morning and cooked it that night.&nbsp; And really, isn&#8217;t that the way it&#8217;s supposed to be done?
