Black Barley Salad

By: Charleen Badman | Originally published by the James Beard Foundation Ingredients: Vinaigrette: 1 clove garlic 1/3 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon minced preserved lemon 2 teaspoons toasted ground cumin 1 teaspoon toasted ground coriander 1 teaspoon sea salt ½ teaspoon black pepper ½ teaspoon chipotle chile flakes 1 cup extra virgin olive oil Salad: ¾ cup Marsh Hen Mill Black Barley or pearled barley 3 asparagus spears, sliced on the bias 3 small heirloom carrots, sliced into thin rounds 2 spring onions, green and white parts sliced thin 1 small summer squash, sliced into thin rounds ½ bulb fennel, thinly sliced ½ cup chopped arugula, lightly packed ½ cup chopped heirloom tomatoes ½ cup roughly chopped parsley leaves, lightly packed ¼ cup chopped cilantro, lightly packed ¼ cup chopped mint, lightly packed Salt and pepper to taste Directions: Prepare the barley the night before: soak the grain overnight in cold water. Drain and place into a saucepan. Cover with enough cold water to rise a couple of inches above the grains. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer until the grains are tender, about 40 minutes, adding more water if necessary to keep the barley covered. Drain and rinse under cold water to remove any excess starch. Lay out on a half sheet tray or cookie sheet to cool and dry for 20 minutes. Make the vinaigrette: using a microplane, grate the garlic clove. Stir the garlic and the remaining ingredients besides the oil together in a small bowl. Let sit for at least 1 hour for the flavors to develop and the garlic to soften. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Toss the cooked barley with just enough of the vinaigrette in a large bowl to coat the grains. Let sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the grains to absorb the dressing. Toss in the remaining salad ingredients. Taste and season with more dressing, salt, and pepper to taste. Yield: 8 servings *Cooking time may vary depending on the stove top and the conditions in the kitchen. Elevation and humidity affect cooking times.

MHM Recipes

Mushroom Ragù

Ingredients For the Mushroom Ragù ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 3 leeks, white and light-green parts, halved vertically, sliced 2 pounds mixed mushrooms (such as button, cremini, oyster, shiitake, chanterelle), thickly sliced Kosher salt 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves 2 fresh bay leaves 1 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth For the Polenta 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 1 fresh bay leaf Kosher salt 1½ cups coarse yellow polenta 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces ¼ cup freshly grated Grana Padano, plus more for serving For the Greens ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil 5 garlic cloves, sliced 2 bunches escarole (about 1½ pounds), leaves separated and trimmed Kosher salt ½ teaspoon peperoncino flakes Instructions For the Mushroom Ragù Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the leeks and mushrooms. Season with 2 teaspoons salt and the rosemary. Stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are lightly browned and wilted, 8–10 minutes. Add the bay leaves and broth. Cover and cook until the mushrooms are very tender, about 15 minutes more. Remove the bay leaves. For the Polenta Combine 6 cups water, the olive oil, bay leaf, and 2 teaspoons salt in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat.

Continue to cook and stir, making sure to get the corners and bottom of the pan, until the polenta is thick and pulls away from the sides, 30–35 minutes. Discard the bay leaf and beat in the butter and cheese. To Serve Spoon a mound of polenta onto a plate. Top with the braised escarole, then spoon the mushroom ragù over it all.

Babs’ Creamy White Wine Risotto

Ingredients (Serves 4–6) 6 cups warm chicken or vegetable broth 4 tablespoons butter, divided (plus more if desired) 1 small onion, finely diced 1½ cups Middlins ½ cup dry white wine ½ cup heavy cream 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste Optional Add-Ins – Shrimp and Asparagus 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined 1 bunch asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces Optional Add-Ins – Mushroom and Sausage 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced 12 ounces good Italian sausage, browned and crumbled Instructions Warm the broth and keep it hot over low heat. In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent. Stir in the Middlins and cook for 2–3 minutes until the grains look slightly chalky around the edges. Pour in the white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed. Add one ladleful of warm broth at a time, stirring slowly and constantly. Wait until each addition is nearly absorbed before adding the next. Continue until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18–22 minutes. For shrimp and asparagus: add asparagus during the last 5 minutes and shrimp during the last 3–4 minutes. For mushroom and sausage: sauté mushrooms separately and stir them in with browned sausage near the end. Stir in the remaining butter, heavy cream, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately. Note Risotto should be loose and silky, not stiff. If it thickens too much before serving, stir in a splash of warm broth.  
Cornmeal Banana Muffins

MHM Recipes

Cornmeal Banana Muffins

Makes 10-12 muffins | No flour required. Ingredients 2 cups Guinea Flint Cornmeal (or Marsh Hen Mill Cornmeal) 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda ½ tsp salt 1 tsp cinnamon (optional but great) 2 large ripe bananas, mashed 2 large eggs ⅓ cup melted butter or neutral oil ½ cup brown sugar or honey (adjust for sweetness) 1 tsp vanilla extract ¾ cup beer best choices: a wheat beer, lager, cream ale, or even a banana bread beer Optional Add-Ins ½ cup chopped pecans ½ cup chocolate chips ½ cup toasted coconut Instructions Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a muffin tin or grease well. In a large bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, combine the mashed bananas, eggs, melted butter or oil, brown sugar (or honey), and vanilla. Pour the banana mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine. Gently stir in the beer until just combined. The batter will be loose - it firms up as the cornmeal hydrates. Let the batter sit for 5-10 minutes to soften the cornmeal. Scoop into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Bake for 16-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Watch on Instagram

The ultimate summer snack — crispy, golden, and made with Marsh Hen Mill yellow cornmeal. Ingredients 1 ½ cups yellow cornmeal ½ cup all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons baking powder 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 1 ½ teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon garlic powder 1 teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper 1 large egg ¾ cup buttermilk 1 small sweet onion, finely chopped Coconut oil or butter, for frying Instructions In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, and spices until combined.

Cornmeal Scones

MHM Recipes

Cornmeal Scones

Golden, tender, and just a little bit Southern. Ingredients 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for dusting 1/2 cup fine cornmeal 1/3 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced and cold 1 large egg yolk 1 cup heavy cream For Serving Your favorite jam Softened unsalted butter Kosher salt Directions In a large bowl, sift the flour and cornmeal through a fine-mesh sieve. Add any cornmeal that won't go through the sieve into the bowl along with the sugar, baking powder, salt, and ginger. Work the butter in with your fingers until the mixture resembles peas. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg yolk, then whisk in the cream. Pour the cream mixture on top of the dough and let it sit undisturbed for 1 to 2 minutes to absorb into the dry ingredients. Mix gently to combine — the less you mix, the more tender they will be. Shape the dough into a loose ball. Lightly dust a surface with flour. Press the dough into a round disk 6 inches in diameter and about 1 inch thick. Place on a parchment-lined sheet pan and refrigerate for 15 minutes. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Use a large knife to cut the dough into 6 wedges, like a pizza. Return the scones to the baking sheet, allowing some space between each. Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake until browned on top, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove and let cool a few minutes before serving with jam, softened butter, and a pinch of salt.   Watch on Instagram
