1/2 cup prepared pesto (recipe in previous weeks and online at www.justfarmed.com)
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
DIRECTIONS
Position oven rack in the lowest position; preheat to 450°F. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about the size of the baking sheet. Transfer to the baking sheet. Bake until puffed and lightly crisped on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook broccoli and water (or chicken/vegetable stock) in a large skillet over medium heat, covered, until the broccoli is crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in kale and cook, stirring, until wilted and not as tough. Season with salt and pepper.
Spread pesto evenly over the crust, top with the broccoli mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Bake until crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced (about 2 cups)
1 pound kale, coarse stems removed, leaves sliced or torn into pieces
Several pinches of freshly ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the garlic in the oil for about 2 minutes, being careful not to burn it. Spray it with a little nonstick cooking spray if needed. Add the mushrooms and sprinkle on the salt. Let them cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring often, until the moisture has released and the mushrooms are lightly browned. Add the kale and pepper, and use tongs to sauté for about 10 more minutes. Add splashes of water if the pan seems dry. The kale should be tender and cooked down pretty well. Serve immediately.

From award-winning cookbook author Jenny McCoy’s new
dessert cookbook, Desserts For Every Season, this recipe highlights the sweeter
sides of seasonal fruit.
INGREDIENTS
3-6 Asian pears, cored and cut horizontally into 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 tablespoons plus 1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
canola oil for frying
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup cornstarch
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer (preferably a lager or pilsner)
DIRECTIONS
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, gently toss the pear rings with 2 tablespoons of the sugar and the salt, until coated. Lay the slices of pear in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 8 minutes. Flip the slices over and continue to roast until the pears are just tender, 6 to 8 more minutes. Place the pears in the refrigerator to cool to room temperature.
Line a baking sheet or large platter with paper towels. Toss the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon in a medium bowl and set aside. Fill a large skillet about 2 inches deep with oil. Heat over medium heat until the oil reaches 350 degrees F on a deep-frying thermometer.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour and cornstarch together. Slowly add the beer, whisking constantly, and mix until perfectly smooth. Dip 6 pear slices in the batter, taking care to completely coat each slice, and quickly drop them into the hot oil. Fry until crisp and light golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove the slices with chopsticks or a slotted spoon and transfer to the paper towels to drain. Repeat with the remaining pear slices. While warm, toss the slices in the cinnamon-sugar and serve immediately. Discard any remaining batter.
