“Plant to Plate: Native Plant Foods from the Americas” is a series that introduces you to different plants from the Americas through a brief history, tips for cooking, eating and growing, along with a recipe.
This week’s feature: Piñon Pine
Recipe: Piñon Stuffed Bell Peppers
Toasted Pine Nuts
Pine nuts can be found all around the world, but the Colorado piñon is a variety found in our own local region. Pine nuts are a versatile food appearing in everything from pine nut cookies to pesto basil sauce. The featured recipe for this installment of Plant to Plate incorporates pine nuts into stuffed bell peppers. With this recipe I fed myself and my three roommates, so it is just enough food for dinner for four and works great with a side salad.
