What’s in Season: February Edition

Quick, creamy, and subtly spicy: this chicken tikka masala is a weeknight dinner hit.
Ah, we are slowly inching towards spring, but in the meantime we have to make it through the gloomiest month of the year. It’s just as difficult as last month (if not harder) to find a bounty of seasonal produce. Difficult but still possible! Especially when equipped with a killer recipe or two, making use of those pantry staples and frozen sauces from the summer months. Whatever you’re working with, here’s what you can find in season in the mid-Atlantic:

  • Apples
  • Beets
  • Carrots
  • Cilantro
  • Fennel
  • Kohlrabi
  • Leeks
  • Lettuce
  • Mint
  • Mushrooms
  • Onions
  • Oregano
  • Parsley
  • Sage
  • Sorrel
  • Spinach
  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Turnips
  • Winter Squash

Try that soup with spinach or sorrel, to make it even more seasonal.
