Haggen Northwest Fresh | Summer 2017

A match made in heaven:

Berries ~and~ Crepes

Nothing comes together quite like a warm crepe, fresh, local berries and a melty dollop of berry infused butter.

Berry Butter

Simple Crepes

Whip butter on high with a whisk or paddle attachment. Add fresh berries and turn mixer to low for about five seconds.

Makes about 20

4 eggs, room temperature 2 1/3 cups whole milk 2/3 cup sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 tsp kosher salt 4 Tbsp unsalted butter, melted Fresh berries, for topping Berry butter (recipe following) Beat eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla until smooth and frothy. Add flour and salt and blend to combine. Cover batter and chill for at least 1 hour.

Heat medium non-stick skillet over mediumhigh heat and brush with butter. Ladle 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to evenly coat bottom. Cook crepe until bubbles form on the surface and edges are golden and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully slide a spatula underneath and flip. Cook on the other side until a few brown spots appear, about 15 seconds, then transfer to plate. Cover with foil to keep warm while you cook remaining crepes. Repeat with remaining butter and batter.

When ready to eat, fold crepe into quarters and top with fresh berries and berry butter.

1/2 lb butter, room temperature 1/2 cup berries of your choice

Scoop onto a sheet of parchment paper and wrap to create a cylinder, tying off the ends.

Place in freezer for 30 seconds to quickly set then transfer to refrigerator until ready to use.

Berry Compote

1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 cups berries of your choice 1 tsp lemon juice 2 Tbsp butter Over medium heat, combine 2 Tbsp of water with sugar and bring to boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Cook for 2 minutes, then add berries and lemon juice.

Return to boil, add butter and swirl mixture until better melts.

Homemade Whipping Cream 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream 2 Tbsp powdered sugar 1/2 tsp pure vanilla

Combine ingredients in cold bowl and whisk on high speed until medium to stiff peaks form (about 1 minute).

Eat & be “berry” local Some of the first signs of summer come in small packages but are loaded with Mother Nature’s powerful antioxidants.

Starting with the first hint of warmer weather this summer, we welcome the arrival of Northwest-grown strawberries, quickly followed by local blueberries in June and raspberries and blackberries in July.

Berry Fresh

Preserve the flavors of summer a little longer with these tips for storing fresh Northwest berries:

Timing is key

Only rinse berries right before you eat them.

Additional moisture from washing increases the likelihood they’ll start to mold.

Rinse lightly

Rinse in a colander instead of fully submerging them in water to maintain their shape and integrity.

Let them chill

Refrigerate berries for an hour or so when you bring them home. They will be easier to rinse when they have had a chance to firm up a little.

Keep the air flowing

After washing, allow berries to rest in an open container with ample air circulation to help them dry out. Store them in the refrigerator avoiding the crisper drawers since the air has higher humidity and less circulation.

The big freeze

Enjoy Northwest berries all year round with help from your freezer.

Lightly rinse and pat dry (remove the hulls in strawberries). Place on a tray and freeze in a single layer until solid; then transfer to airtight containers. Enjoy throughout the year!

salmon season

Sustainable • Wild • Fresh Springtime means the arrival of the eagerly anticipated Northwest salmon season! First to arrive are the world-renowned Sockeye salmon from Copper River, followed by Coho in late July. Haggen is proud to work with fisheries that are certified sustainably managed, ensuring that all of the fresh seafood in our stores is 100% sustainably fished.

King: The largest of its species and known for its high oil content and distinctive, rich flavor. Perfect for roasting or the grill.

CATCH AREAS: SE Alaska, Prince William Sound

Kids! Pick up a coloring sheet and temporary tattoos at your local Haggen

KETA:

A plentiful fish with firm pink flesh and mild flavor. Low temperature cooking is recommended due to its low oil content.

Very good for smoking.

CATCH AREAS: Johnstone Strait

Fresh, sustainably harvested salmon choices are plentiful at Haggen

PINK: The smallest, most plentiful species.

Delicate flavor with light pink flesh.

Best if poached or sautéed.

CATCH AREAS: British Columbia, Legoe Bay

Sockeye:

One of the most abundant salmon with deep red, firm flesh and delectable flavor. This salmon is high in fat and is also great on the grill.

Haggen 100% sustainable seafood We deliver exceptionally high-quality salmon thanks to our long relationships with our fishers, the expertise and experience of our seafood buyer, and our commitment to sourcing only sustainable products. Stop by your Haggen seafood department today and check out the catch of the day. Our seafood experts will gladly recommend recipes, fillet a fish or tell you more about the health benefits of adding seafood to your diet.

Bristol Bay, Alaska: one of the best sources in the pacific northwest Bristol Bay, Alaska is truly a national treasure, offering not only pristine waters and breathtaking vistas, but vital sustenance and nourishment. The fishers here are keenly aware that this is the world’s most valuable remaining wild salmon fishery and home to the world’s largest sockeye salmon run, so they treat the fish and their habitat with deep respect. This commercial fishery supports more than 14,000 jobs and generates more than $1.5 billion in revenue every year, sustaining the region’s economy and supporting thousands of American families.

Angela

Every pound of salmon purchased at Haggen also supports the nonprofit Bristol Bay Economic Development Company (BBEDC) which provides education opportunities and community support to the rural fishing villages of the area.

Bristol Bay salmon is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D and protein, making it a smart choice for a delicious meal any night of the week. It’s prized by restaurant chefs and home cooks alike for its bright color and distinctive flavor, and the firm meat is incredibly versatile and simple to prepare—Bristol Bay salmon is delicious broiled, poached, seared or grilled.

Grilled Sockeye

with Honey Chili Cider Glaze

Of all the ways that salmon can be prepared, grilling may be the most popular. Maybe it’s because the natural oils in the fish give it a light crispness on the outside. Maybe it’s the quick prep time. Or maybe it’s the smoky flavor that infuses every bite. Whatever your reason, I hope you’ll find that my glaze adds an extra dimension of flavor you never knew you were missing.

There’s nothing like flat bread topped with crème fraîche and thinly sliced lox— unless it’s with lox you made yourself! Take your lox love to the next level (and save some dough) by curing your own fresh salmon.

honey do

What’s all the buzz about?

You may have seen bees in the news lately, tied to words like “endangered,” “colony collapse,” and “important pollinators.” That’s because native bee species have been in decline, and that has some big implications for all of us. It’s estimated that pollinators like bees are responsible for one out of every three bites of food that we take, so it’s crucial that we all work together to protect the diversity of the species, keep crops pollinated, and keep our local farmers farming!

Some ideas for gardeners: Honey has been used for centuries not only as a sweetener, but as a healer. It’s said that honey can support better circulation, lower cholesterol, and fight inflammation.

Check out these honey home remedies: Sore throat – Combine with a squeeze of lemon juice, hot water and a couple of drops of peppermint oil for quick relief.

Focus on native wildflowers that pollinators like bees love, like lupine, camas, native showy milkweed and Douglas aster. Late-bloomers are especially uncommon in our region, making Look for the tags that help identify beethem even more important. friendly plants in our

Reduce or eliminate insecticide use. Talk to garden department neighbors and local government about doing the same in yards and public spaces.

Sleep aid – Add a teaspoon to warm milk for a soothing bedtime sipper.

Offer nesting sites. Many bees nest underground, in tree cavities or snags, or even in clumps of leaves, branches and cut grass.

Acne – Warm half a teaspoon in your hands, smooth onto your face gently, then let sit for 10 minutes. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Support organic food and seek out food from farms and companies that are actively working to protect bees and restore bee habitat.

Burn treatment – For mild burns and sunburns, apply honey and cover with a bandage for up to 24 hours. Mix with aloe vera for an extra-soothing treatment.

Digestive aid – Mix with a little ginger and lemon juice to stimulate your digestive enzymes and soothe nausea.

Hair Mask – Mix a tablespoon with two tablespoons coconut oil, then work into lower two-thirds of hair. Rinse well after 20 minutes.

Bath Soak – Dissolve two heaping tablespoons honey in a cup of water, then add to your bath for all-over skin care.

Anna’s Honey

is handled with care from hive to jar. It’s raw, never processed with heat, so the enzymes, nutrients, and pure honey flavor are all intact. It’s produced in Tukwila, Washington by bees that collect pollen from local flowers, so it’s fresher when it arrives in our stores.

cool, CRISP SUMMER

Enjoy a rainbow of fresh summer flavor As the seasons change and cold weather fades, we leave behind rich, heavy meals and look forward to the lighter, sunshine-fed flavors of early summer. New growth is everywhere, and our bodies are craving the nutrients that come from fields full of fresh, Northwest produce. Tender spinach, baby lettuce and fresh herbs compliment bright bouquets of radishes, colorful carrots and hardy beets, bringing new life to our plates.

A bouquet of Spring and summer sunshine inspires the lighter side of beverages to shine through and nothing says cool summer refreshment like a rosé!

Rosés

The Power of Pigment Eating a variety of colors can help ensure you get more nutritional variety, so consider branching out next time you reach for a bunch of carrots or radishes. The standard orange carrot is rich in beta carotene and vitamin A, which support eye health, but you’ll find that yellow carrots have xanthophylls, which help prevent macular degeneration and may contribute to the prevention of some cancers.

And red carrots get their color from lycopene, known for promoting heart and prostate health. Purple carrots and the red skin of radishes contain anthocyanins, which are powerful antioxidants. So reach for a rainbow!

Slaw

6 cups of vegetables, julienned or sliced (rainbow carrots, Easter radishes, daikon radish, cucumber and/or zucchini) 2 Tbsp fresh herbs, for garnish Red pickled onions, optional (recipe on page 9) Toss vegetables with dressing.

ADD SOME GLOW TO YOUR PATIO Jim & Jamey

JIM & JAMEY Allsop

A Local Northwest Father & Daughter Team In the early 2000’s Jim Allsop had a vision of creating decorative solar lighting for gardens and outdoor living spaces. His first decorative solar product, the “Firefly”, pioneered the concept of solar garden art and kick-started the Allsop Home & Garden brand. Jim’s daughter Jamey Allsop joined the endeavor, and with inspiration from a trip to China, they launched the first solarized decorative lanterns. Today, their solar product line is filled with unique shapes, patterns, and fabrics that combine year-round outdoor durability with an elegant style that’s a perfect fit for any home or garden.

Fascinating flavors like Cucumber, Lavender, Juniper and Fuji Apple tempt you to try a bottle of each to discover your favorite. We like to pair the Vanilla Bean with salty snacks, and the Rhubarb goes great with backyard barbecue foods!

Shahnaz & Barry

MEET THE MAKERS

Barry and Shahnaz Bettinger dug into the ice cream business in 1997, crafting and delivering pints by hand to nearby stores. Fast-forward to 2001, when the pints hit the shelves of Haggen and sales suddenly took off! Since then, the Bettingers have progressed to having their own production plant, opening a scoop shop and hiring a bunch of great people to help out. They’re always striving for the purest ingredients and the highest quality available, and their new organic pints are a logical next step for this dedicated team.

Made with the very best certified organic ingredients, these are the pints you’ve been dreaming of. The folks behind Snoqualmie Ice Cream are debuting their irresistibly creamy organic line, made with eggs, cream and berries from the Northwest, along with Belgian chocolate, lavender from Provence, and pure Madagascar vanilla.
