Recipes for October
Every seasonal ingredient in these recipes is in season in October.
Sardine Salad Toast with Tomato and Skyr
Creamy mashed sardines with skyr and Dijon are folded with juicy diced tomato, then piled onto crisp whole wheat toast. Removing most of the tomato seeds keeps the topping fresh without making the bread soggy.
Whole-Wheat Mac and Cheese with Pumpkin and White Beans
Pumpkin and white beans blend into a thick sauce that coats the macaroni, while Gruyere melts in at the end. Mustard and nutmeg give the sauce a sharper, warmer edge.
Pasta with Red Lentil-Parsnip Sauce and Goat Cheese
Red lentils break down around tender parsnip to make a thick pasta sauce. Fresh goat cheese is a pleasure on its own. A perfect eat-lancet friendly autumn dish.
Rough-Cut Lasagna Pasta with Sardines and Roasted Eggplant Sauce
Lasagna sheets broken into uneven ribbons catch a thick sauce of roasted tomatoes, eggplant and onion. Oat cream softens the tomato’s acidity, while sardines added at the end stay in pieces.
Chocolate Peanut High-Protein Overnight Oats
Thick chocolate overnight oats with a clean peanut finish and enough skyr to make the jar properly substantial. Chia seeds set the mixture into a spoonable breakfast by morning.
Thai-Style Curry Noodles with Caramelized Cabbage and Tofu
Rice noodles, caramelized cabbage, carrots, and crisp-edged tofu are coated in a golden coconut-peanut sauce built from curry powder instead of curry paste (I didn't have any left haaaa). Lime keeps the rich sauce bright enough to cling to the noodles without becoming heavy.
Raspberry Almond Skyr Cake
This raspberry almond skyr cake has a tender, close crumb with bright pockets of fruit and a mild almond finish. Skyr and applesauce keep the slices moist, while ground oats and chia give the batter enough structure to cut cleanly after cooling.
Simple Zucchini and Onion Soup
Zucchini and onion turn silky when blended with a light vegetable broth, while black pepper provides the only sharp edge. This is a clean, straightforward soup & an easy way to get more vegetables in your superb diet.
How we decide what is in season
Each ingredient in our catalogue has the months it is harvested locally in each region. This page lists the ones our recipes use that are in season in October, and leaves out those available all year, such as grains, dried legumes and oils. Seasons shift with the weather and the place: treat it as a guide, and trust your market.
