Dear IDEO,

Here’s a few great recipes using the produce in this week’s FarmShares, including the link, a brief description, difficulty, time to prepare, and a picture.

Suncrest Peach and Blackberry Cobbler

Summary: This is a healthier version of a traditional cobbler, with canola oil (olive oil works, too!) in place of some of the butter and whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. Unlike more classic biscuit-topped cobblers, the peaches and blueberries are nestled into a tender batter that swells around the fruit as it bakes. Other fruits may be substituted. It’s especially beautiful when baked in and served right from a cast-iron skillet.

ACTIVE TIME: 20 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 1 1/4 hours

EASE OF PREPARATION: Easy

Steamed / Lightly Salted Edamame

Summary: Edamame is an immature soybean that’s grown in East Asia. The bean plays an integral role in many Asian cuisines, particularly that of Japan where it is served as a tasty and healthy appetizer.
