Local Kentucky strawberries, tender, sweet, and juicy, there’s seriously nothing in the world like them.
I’d like to consider myself a seasonal eater, I do my best to buy local and stick to foods that should naturally be eaten with the changing seasons. Sure I might occasionally cave and buy some organic strawberries in the winter from Mexico, but after one taste I regret my decision and wish it was May again. Now that strawberry season is in full swing I am rarely without a pint of these precious little fruits in my home. And although the majority of these berries end up being eaten alone in their perfection, on occasion I find ways to showcase them in my creations.
Raw Strawberry Crumble
Ingredients:
3 cups strawberries
1 ½ tsp raw honey
1.5 cups dried fruit (figs & dates)
1 cup raw almonds
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp oat groats
Directions: Dice strawberries and place in a bowl with honey, set aside. In a food processor pulse almonds to create a coarse meal, add in dried fruit, cinnamon, vanilla, oat groats, and salt, pulse to combine. Divide strawberry mixture between four ramekins and top with crumble. Serve immediately. If you’d like to make ahead of time store the strawberries separately from the topping and assemble right before serving!
The figs add a delicious sweetness and crunch to the dish while the oat groats and cinnamon provide a bit of comfort in each bite. The addition of honey to the strawberries brings out just a bit more sweetness taking this dessert over the top. As the summer progresses I plan to make this dish using blueberries as well as peaches which I assume will be just as delicious! If you have leftovers of the topping it goes amazing over some overnight oats or is delicious rolled into balls and eaten alone. You simply can’t go wrong, especially when local strawberries are involved.
Questions:
Are you a seasonal eater? for the most part yes!
Favorite food currently in season? strawberries & asparagus
something to think about:
If there is no passion in your life, then have you really lived? Find your passion, whatever it may be. Become it, and let it become you and you will find great things happen FOR you, TO you and BECAUSE of you.
