Plant of the Day
Saturday 19 October 2024
This cultivar of Beta vulgaris subsp. cicla var. flavescens (Swiss chard) had dramatic red stems. This group of cultivated beets can produce an edible crop all year round and are known for their resistance to bolting (running to flower and seed). These plants were being grown on a ‘hugelkultur’ (hill culture) which is a no-dig raised bed filled with biomass (wood, leaves, cardboard and other compost) and finished with soil. This feature holds moisture, builds fertility and maximises the surface area.

Instant Pot Low-FODMAP Gluten-free Wild Rice & Coconut Soup
I'm from Minnesota and reside in wild rice country, so I've cooked a lot of wild rice over the years. It all tends to be pretty hotdishy though: lots of mushroom casseroles, the ubiquitous wild rice soup, etc. So when I ran across this recipe which put together coconut and wild rice, I was like, this is happening. It ended up really good, made excellent leftovers, and my mom even asked for the recipe, which is super unusual. Without further preamble:
Instant Pot Low-FODMAP Gluten-free Wild Rice & Coconut Soup
8 oz Swiss chard, stems chopped fine, leaves cut into 1 1/2 in pieces
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 serrano chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 tsp turmeric
1 1/2 tsp garam masala
1/4 tsp cayenne
4 c vegetable broth
2 14-oz cans of coconut milk
1 c wild rice
1 tomato, chopped
1/4 c fresh cilantro, chopped
lime wedges
vegetable oil, salt, pepper
Heat 2 tbsp oil in Instant Pot until shimmering, then add the chard stems and cook until softened. Add ginger, diced chile, tomato paste, turmeric, garam masala, cayenne, and 1 tsp salt and cook for 30 sec or so to bloom. Stir in broth and one of the cans of coconut milk. Lock lid in place and pressure cook on the highest setting for 30 minutes.* Turn off Instant Pot and quick release the pressure.
Turn the saute function on, stir in second can of coconut milk and chard leaves, and cook until the chard wilts, about 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Stir in the tomato and cilantro and season with salt and pepper. Serve with lime wedges.
*An aside on wild rice. Wild rice is harvested from lakes and parched so that it can be stored. The parching process can result in considerable variation in how pliant or dry the rice ends up. I had a batch that was extremely hard, so I added another 10 minutes to the pressure-cooking time. The rice should fluff out when it's tender enough to eat, kind of like the way popcorn fluffs out of the dry popcorn kernel. (Wild rice and corn are closely related plants.) Do not use either quick-cooking or precooked rice in this recipe.
The one ingredient which might give you FODMAP trouble is the broth. Most commercially made broths have onions and/or celery in them, which is verboten. I tend to feel pretty YOLO about broth because it's mostly salt and water. Which, coincidentally, could be what you substitute for the broth if you don't want to risk it.
I haven't really cooked with serrano peppers before, and I wasn't over-wowed by its inclusion here. Honestly, I couldn't taste it. If I had to do again, I'd use a jalapeno or two instead. Even said, this was pretty great, and I'll be making this again for sure.
Disclaimer: I am no dietician. I'm doing my best to minimize FODMAPs in my diet, but it's possible for me to be misinformed or mistaken about various ingredients.

First decent harvests this year! Asparagus is coming out every single day so I am eating it constantly. I also have some swiss chard, green onions and young garlic. I've been harvesting leek for a while as well! It didn't make it into the pictures.

it is time... i'm pulling the last of the walking egyptian onions. these didn't produce any bulb seeds, so into my tummy they go.
so i was just gonna put onions back into this bed, but tbh the bed is too short for my back for the onions to be in. so i decided about 40 minutes ago to prep the bed for the first round of swiss chard.
so i layed down a burlap sack - i wanted to use landscaping fabric, but then realized this does the job just fine and i have about 80 of them taking up space. then i cut out holes and places only the yellow rooted swiss chard seeds into some holes in the burlap. these will be grown just for seed. maybe some produce... but definitely seed.
never grown swiss chard before, soooooo hoPE I DID IT RIGHT 🙃🙃🙃

JTTW Chapter 24 Thoughts
Chapter 24 for the @journeythroughjourneytothewest Reading Group!
Ah, the beginning of the Arc the movie Monkey King Reborn is based on! It will be very delightful to spot the similarities for myself!
But first we have to finish the previous trial. I really don’t like how the emphasise is kind of put on women as being tempters. Especially when the exemplary lady is explicitly stated to be sixteen, that is a child!
Still not a fan how they put so much ridicule on Zhu Bajie as well when they equally pressured him into the whole situation.
Hm Sun Wukong schooling his Shifu. We love the communal grandpa dispersing his knowledge.
And here are the two sillies! I’ll take it in immortal years they’re closer to being old tweens or young teens. That’s the feeling I get from them at least.
Ah, teaching the kids that uhm, actually just make friends with people if they’re nice, religion should not be of any importance there. There are some really good lessons to be taken away from this novel.
One could say they are… Home Alone.
I wonder if the sight of the Daoist Abbey makes Sun Wukong melancholic with thoughts of his first Shifu.
Clear Breeze, I most certainly prefer the J. F. Jenner and movie’s translation and technically also the German translation of Pure Wind, and Bright Moon are notably nicer in the novel than the adaptation. They only get rude when they actually have been wronged. Just looking at their movie counterparts, these aren’t the same kids.
Plants you say? Now don’t mind if I look them up! Spoilers this turned out a bit of a difficult ordeal so take all of this with a grain of salt.
For accuracy, spinach yes and celery yes.
Mare’s tail… maybe? My search came up with Beta vulgaris aka Chard/Swiss Chard instead, though both plants fall under the term vulgaris in their scientific name and are plausible options as they are both native to Western Asia. Since it is a vegetable garden for people however I might be inclined to personally go with Chard, in part also because I have eaten that vegetable before and it is not only quite tasty but also nutritional.
Funfact in German Chard is called Mangold, definitely sounds like a plant an immortal would eat. But again that’s just personal bias, in reality it could still be either.
Back to the list, I have no clue where beet comes from in this line, but ginger yes.
Seaweed no. It seems to actually be moss of some kind and I looked up as to possibly why it’s in this garden. Indeed certain types of moss are used for medicinal or culinary purposes in some cultures. But don’t go out and just eat moss you find in your garden! A lot of mosses are toxic and no good for eating, so be careful!
Bamboo shoot yes and melon yes. Squash, more like gourd, but technically yes. Watercress no, my research came up with wild rice instead, but watercress is still native to Asia as well.
Now for this next line I would like to remark that there is some potential difference in the Chinese Original. Chive technically yes the Google Translate said just onion though, garlic yes, coriander yes, leek and scallion technically yes though if the characters for those two are put together the translator says they translate to chives instead.
The second paragraph I will not touch as that one is more complex.
The local Tudi really tends to be the living loremaster, in a way that makes a lot of sense in world too, something I can always appreciate.
Heh, Sun Wukong doing a little trickshot with the mallet. Not that it worked, but he tried.
Sha Wujing being the good little brother getting roped into shenanigans by his older brothers. The feeling of found family is strong with this one.
At the end I would like to shill the movie a bit as I really like that one and it does make for quite a good companion piece for this Arc. It also has one of the best Sha Wujing designs in my opinion.
