For those of you familiar with the N.K. Hurst Co., you may know that we are located in the shadow of Lucas Oil Stadium, home of the Indianapolis Colts. For over 25 years we have been a host to tailgaters and some of the best pregame festivities in the area. Needless to say, we are all huge football fans (especially the Colts) and after last week’s win in the AFC Championship, we can’t wait for the “Big Game” on February 7th.

With that in mind, I thought it was a good time to break out one of my current favorite recipes, and one that will work great for that “Big Game” party.

This past Sunday in the Hurst Bean Field®, we hosted our 3rd Annual Hurst Bean Cookoff during the pregame tailgate party. Once again, we were blown away by the amount of creativity and effort that went into the presentation of these dishes. From the “Hurst Hoosier Gumbo” (served with Dom Perignon!), to the Dugan Family’s winning “Spicy Sausage and Chicken with Black Beans”, we appreciate all who participated and can’t wait for next years’ contest!

With Halloween just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to utilize one of the most underrated and versatile ingredients. Readily available this time of year, pumpkins have a sweet, earthy flavor that works great in a wide range of dishes, especially soups. Don’t confuse using fresh pumpkin with that canned stuff though, just a small amount of prep work with a “Pie Pumpkin” will make all the difference in the world… and they make a nice serving dish too!

Here at the N.K. Hurst Co. we are always on the lookout for recipes that feature dry beans, especially if it is created by someone famous in the culinary world. In a round-about way, this “bean publicity” helps promote the use of our product, and that’s always a positive!

A perfect example: Just last week we discovered “It’s About Bean Season”, an article in the INDYSTAR from world renowned chef Wolfgang Puck. He expounds on the virtues of beans and even goes so far as to say “…my favorite soup ingredient is probably dried beans.” We couldn’t ask for a much better endorsement than that, so I decided to try out his recipe using our HamBeens® Great Northern Bean Soup.

Georgia has its’ Vidalia Onions. Idaho has its’ potatoes. Even Oklahoma has its’ (controversial vegetable) Watermelons. So it’s hard to believe (especially around this time of year) that Indiana hasn’t made Sweet Corn its’ official vegetable yet. Drive for several hours in any direction and as soon as the buildings disappear, 6′+ giant stalks appear. The ears are enormous and have a taste as sweet as anywhere you will find. I try to incorporate the delicious veggie into at least 2 meals a week while in season. So with that in mind, I made a trip to the downtown Indy Farmers’ Market to find the ingredients for some Sweet Corn and White Bean Chowder.

As someone who really enjoys a good old-fashioned cheeseburger, it’s always been difficult to even consider eating a meat-less version when the original is just so tasty. But after my experience in the kitchen yesterday,  I have to admit that if for some reason I became a vegetarian, hope for a decent “burger” is not all lost…

If you would like to participate in the future, be sure to check out the Monthly Host Schedule.
