10 Creative Ways to Incorporate Miso 1. Miso-Roasted Turkey How: Rub a blend of miso, butter, garlic, and herbs under the turkey skin before roasting. This creates a rich, savory crust and juicy, flavorful meat. 2. Miso Gravy and Stuffing How: Whisk a spoonful of our miso into your gravy and stuffing while simmering/baking. It adds depth and umami, enhancing the turkey's flavor. 3. Miso Mashed Potatoes How: Stir a tablespoon of miso into mashed potatoes with butter and cream for an extra-savory flavor boost. 4. Miso-Glazed Roasted Vegetables How: Toss vegetables like carrots, brussels sprouts, or sweet potatoes with a mix of miso, olive oil, honey, and a splash of vinegar before roasting. 5. Stuffing with Miso Broth How: Add a tablespoon of miso to the broth before mixing it into your stuffing. This adds a warm, earthy richness that complements mushrooms, herbs, and bread. 6. Miso Butter for Rolls How: Whip softened butter with a spoonful of white or yellow miso and serve it alongside dinner rolls or cornbread. The umami butter brings a unique twist. We like to do 50% butter 50% miso 7. Pumpkin or Butternut Squash Soup with Miso How: Stir in a teaspoon or two of miso toward the end of cooking for a deeper flavor in pumpkin or squash soup. 8. Miso-Maple Sweet Potatoes How: Blend miso into the maple syrup glaze for a savory-sweet coating on sweet potatoes 9. Green Bean Casserole with Miso Cream Sauce How: Mix a spoonful of miso into the cream sauce for the green bean casserole. It adds a savory depth that complements the crispy onion topping. 10. Miso-Apple Pie or Crisp / Pumpkin Pie How: Add a spoonful of miso to the caramel or brown sugar mixture for apple/pumpkin pie or crisp. It enhances the caramel notes and balances the sweetness.

Cuts of meat that are rich in collagen typically come from parts of the animal that contain a lot of connective tissue. 1.Beef Shank - The shank is the leg portion of the cow, which contains a lot of connective tissue and tendons, making it a great source of collagen. 2. Oxtail - This cut comes from the tail of the cow and is packed with collagen-rich tissue and marrow. 3. Short Ribs - These ribs are from the lower part of the cow's rib cage, containing a good amount of collagen. 4. Brisket - This cut comes from the chest area of the cow and is well-known for its high collagen content, especially when slow-cooked. 5. Chuck Roast - The chuck comes from the shoulder area and contains a good amount of collagen, making it perfect for slow cooking. 6. Pork Belly - The belly contains a significant amount of collagen, particularly in the skin and fat layers. 7. Lamb Shank - Similar to beef shank, the lamb shank is also rich in collagen due to the connective tissues in the leg. 8. Chicken Thighs (Bone-In, Skin-On) - The skin and bones of chicken thighs contain a good amount of collagen, particularly when slow-cooked, which helps to release the collagen into the dish. 9. Chicken Wings - Chicken wings are rich in collagen, especially in the skin and connective tissues, making them a good option for collagen. 10. Pork Shoulder (Boston Butt) - This cut from the upper part of the pig’s shoulder is full of connective tissue, making it another excellent source of collagen. Slow cooking these cuts, such as in a stew or braise, helps to break down the collagen, turning it into gelatin, which is beneficial for the skin, joints, and overall health.
