Weather Stations

At Windhum Farms we have adopted the use of infield weather stations at our various farms locations.

Weather conditions can vary enormously over even short distances, and with the use of smartphones or tablets, this gives us the ability through John Deere Field Connect to monitor:

Rainfall
Temperature
Soil moisture
Humidity
Wind speed and direction.

Roasted Sweet Potato and Harissa Dip

devteam — Fri, 10 Jul 2015 07:04:29 +0000

Roasted Sweet Potato and Harissa Dip

Makes about 1 cup

2 sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, peeled and coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried chile pepper flakes (I like a mix of aleppo, ancho, and urfa biber)
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
11/4 teaspoon ground caraway
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and roast on a foil-lined baking sheet until soft, about 1 hour. When cool enough to handle, peel the sweet potatoes or scoop out the flesh, whichever you find easier.

Combine the sweet potato flesh with the remaining ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Taste and adjust seasonings if desired.

Serve with crackers, vegetable chips, or crudités. (Can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Recipe Notes:

• If you have a harissa spice blend or harissa paste on hand, feel free to substitute that for the individual spices. Mixtures vary, so start with about a teaspoon of dry or wet harissa and adjust to taste.
