The Hunt for

As the spring season of renewal arrives in the Pacific Northwest, so do the morels. The king of spring beckons foragers into the woods with their elusive woodsy flavor and earthy appeal. The morel’s smoky, meaty richness is the highlight of the hunt.

Wild Foraged mushroom, fontina & Havarti Pizza

2 Tbsp olive oil, plus more for brushing 10 oz morel mushrooms (or your favorite wild mushroom) Salt Freshly ground black pepper 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped 1 Tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped (1-2 sprigs) 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves, chopped (3-4 sprigs) 2 Tbsp dry sherry pizza dough (pre-made or see recipe) olive oil 1 cup spinach 5 oz Havarti cheese, grated 3 oz Fontina cheese, grated 2 tsp black truffle oil, for drizzling

Mountain Stream Specialty Foods

John and Trevor of Mountain Stream Specialty Foods in Olympia, Washington hunt the Pacific Northwest woodlands looking for the seasonal delicacies of the forest. In spring, that prized wild edible just happens to be the elusive morel mushroom. Through their forest hunting and gathering, John and Trevor are able to share their love for Mother Earth’s natural bounty with everyone.

Owners Trevor DeWispelaere & John Dalelio

Prepare mushrooms: Heat large skillet over high heat. Add olive oil then sliced mushrooms, spreading into a single layer with a wooden spoon. Continue to sauté for 5–6 minutes until most of the liquid has evaporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Easy Pizza Dough Recipe

Add the chopped garlic and continue sautéing for 1–2 minutes. De-glaze the pan with the dry sherry. Place back on the heat, add the chopped rosemary and thyme, and cook over medium high heat until all of the sherry has evaporated. Put mushroom mixture aside to cool.

Only a short 5 minute wait for the dough to rise for a delicious chewy crust.

Assemble pizza: Preheat the oven to 500°F. Preheat a pizza stone (or a baking sheet) for 20–30 minutes. On a lightly floured surface, roll or stretch pizza dough until it forms a rough 10" circle (the dough will be thin). Transfer to the pizza stone or baking sheet.

1 (.25 oz) package active dry yeast 1 tsp white sugar 1 cup warm water 2-1/2 cups bread flour 2 Tbsp olive oil 1 tsp salt

Lightly brush the top of the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle the Havarti and Fontina evenly over the pizza and place fresh spinach on top of cheese. Distribute the mushrooms mixture on top. Bake for 8–12 minute or until the dough is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Immediately drizzle with black truffle oil and garnish with additional rosemary sprigs or thyme leaves, if desired. Slice and serve.

In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in flour, salt and oil. Beat until smooth. Let rest for 5 minutes. See pizza recipe for preparation and baking instructions.

our fresh seafood is

100% Sustainable as rated by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch

All our fresh seafood is sustainable

Through our partnership with the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Haggen is now offering only sustainable fresh seafood. This means you’ll only find seafood that meets Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Seafood Watch certifications of “Best Choice” or “Good Alternative” in our Seafood Department. Sustainably sourced seafood protects the future availability of seafood as well as the livelihood of fishing communities. You can also feel good about choosing seafood that preserves a balanced ocean environment, which will yield a healthy seafood supply in the future.

What makes seafood sustainable?

To be sustainable, our suppliers provide wild or farmed seafood that can maintain or increase production without jeopardizing the structure and function of existing ecosystems. Seafood Watch monitors the method and location where seafood is caught or harvested and the type of seafood in order to certify sustainability.

Understanding sustainable labels

Green “Best Choice” labeled seafood poses little to no impact on the environment, future populations and other species. Yellow “Good Alternative” labeled seafood indicates one or more known issues with the fishery yet an improvement plan is in place and this seafood is still a sustainable choice.

Locally sourced sustainability

By working with suppliers who meet Seafood Watch’s “Best Choice” and “Good Alternative” standards, Haggen only offers eco-friendly fresh seafood choices. Our partnership with local fishers supports sustainable fishing traditions from the following catch areas: Lummi Island, WA; Coupeville, WA; Seattle, WA; Fraser River run in WA and BC; La Conner, WA; Rosario Straight on the WA coast; Columbia River in WA and OR; the OR coast; and Salish Sea, WA.

fishing methods with low environmental impact Snow Crab BEST CHOICE

Method: Crab pot. Wire or wooden cages that rest on the sea floor.

Albacore tuna BEST CHOICE

Method: Troll, Pole. Fishing pole and bait.

shrimp GOOD ALTERNATIVE

Method: Otter trawl. Net towed behind the boat.

Cod, Halibut BEST CHOICE

Method: Bottom longline. Fishing line cast out from the boat. Can range from 1–50 miles.

Pacific oysters BEST CHOICE

salmon BEST CHOICE

LOOK FOR THESE TAGS IN THE SEAFOOD DEPARTMENT

Method: Drift gillnet. Uses a system of nets with floats and weights. Nets are anchored to sea floor and float at the surface.

salmon BEST CHOICE

Method: Reefnet. Fishers stand on towers, waiting to see a school of salmon swim along the waterways and over a small net suspended between two boats. When a school is observed, the net is quickly pulled up and the wild caught salmon are gently spilled into a netted live well.

Method: On-bottom. Recycled oysters are spread across tidelines. It takes 2–3 years to reach harvestable size. May 2016 | www.haggen.com

tomato tips from Nathan Weston, Joe’s Garden

A tomato start will give you at least a six week advantage over direct seeding. Start by working up the soil to a depth of 12" with 12" around your planting location. Hammer in a 6' stake in the center of your worked up soil; bury the plant up to its lowest branches. You can also grow tomatoes in large pots if you don’t have a good sunny spot in your yard. We recommend that the pot holds at least five gallons of soil. As the plant grows, use twist ties to secure the plant to your stake. Keep the soil moist and make sure to only water the surrounding ground, not the plant. Use a good vegetable fertilizer. When your tomato plant reaches 2' high, it’s time to remove suckers. Suckers develop in the joint of the stalk and branches. They look like small tomato plants growing out of the side of the stalk. Suckers will not bear fruit and they will only draw energy away from your tomatoes. To help with pollination, gently tap your hand on each of the blossom clusters. To avoid fall blight, at night pull a large black plastic bag over your plant and remove it in the morning. This will keep the dew from settling on your plant and hopefully spare it from the blight. Our first frost arrives in late September, so it’s time to harvest your remaining tomatoes. The best way to do this is to leave the fruit on the vine and cut the vine off below the lowest fruit. Hang the tomato plant upside down in your garage and the remaining tomatoes will ripen over the next few months.

grass fed Angus beef

The sizzle of the grill, cold beers chilling on ice, an array of Haggen fresh-made potato salads and coleslaws. We’ve once again entered the time of year known as BBQ Season and that means the American staple—the beloved hamburger—will be making a comeback. Keep your backyard gathering healthy and flavorful by featuring our Bartels Farms Grass Fed beef from Eugene, Oregon. Their grass fed cattle dines on lush Pacific Northwest pastures, which means their meat is leaner and healthier.
