Blame it on the grain...

Blame It on the Grain

This summer we highlighted some bulgar grains from Koy Pantry for our vegetarian shares. With the chill in the air we wanted to share the grainy love with the rest of the Fam so we are featuring it as the Grain in all shares.

(Elderly that we are we also couldn't help but sneak in a reference to Milli Vanilli's absolute non-banger "Blame It on the Rain" from the late eighties in the title. If you have absolutely nothing to do with your life, may I suggest a trip down memory lane via the above link? For anyone under the age of 40, please forgive us.1989 was a strange time. George Bush's dad, George Bush, was President, televisions had yet to be invented and the average life expectancy was 38.)

A wee reminder about this fantastic food from the benevolent overload that is Chat GPT:

Bulgur is a whole grain made from cracked wheat berries. It's an ancient grain that was popular in the Mediterranean region and is mentioned in the Old Testament. Bulgur is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it can be eaten plain like rice or couscous, or used in many dishes.

A bit more about the folks who are bringing this to you:

"Koy Pantry, based out of Woburn, Massachusetts was founded in 2023 by friends Baran, Seckin and Serdar in hopes of sharing the flavors and stories of their homeland, Turkey. Baran and Serdar, who live in the Boston area love to cook and whenever they would visit their homeland, they would bring back suitcases of ingredients that they had difficulty finding in the States.

They decided to build a brand that would specialize in artisanal, small-batch pantry items from smaller producers in hopes of introducing Anatolian flavors to the Boston area and beyond. After launching about a year and a half ago, you can now find their products at many of the specialty food stores and in dishes at some highly acclaimed restaurants in the Boston area and their online store ships directly to anywhere in the States."

For some cooking ideas go warm and cozy with Yotam Ottolenghi's vision from the New York Times, pictured. For a more basic side, ready for all your favorite olive oils and chopped veggies check out the KITCHN.

Recipes

Sheet-Pan Sausages and Brussels Sprouts With Honey Mustard - We've got Brussels sprouts!!! And this here has a lil' bit of fall for ya. (Okay... it's a lot a bit of fall for ya. But look outside. IT'S FALL. 🍁🍁 🍁)

Kebapçı Pilavı (Kabob-House Pilaf) - You want this. One of those rare dishes that's both damn crave-able and damn good for you, I also dig that this one is vegan and being paired with tofu. Would absolutely shovel this down.

Grilled Striped Bass - It's a rare treat to get some striper into shares, which is why you Omni Double folks are seeing it alongside sausage and cod. Keep it simple. Not feeling like grilling? Pan seared, here.
