Farm News:
Hello and welcome to the 2011 CSA! We are so excited for this upcoming eason. It’s been a slow start, what with the rain and cooler weather in May, but June is off to a very promising start. These first few shares will probably be a little smaller than we had hoped, but we’ll definitely make it up to you later on.
Our big news this winter was our daughter Lizzy, who was born March 9th. Since then we have been getting a crash course in parenting! She’s been great, and we love the new addition to our family and farm. Farming with a new baby has also been quite the adventure so far. There are lots of cute pictures of her on our Bahner Farm website and Facebook page.
Luckily for us, we have some helping hands this season in our two apprentices, Hope and Carisa, who are living here with us for the summer. What a big difference it makes to have the help!
We hope you enjoy this first week’s share, and we look forward to bringing you many more delicious veggies as the season progresses!
Thanks so much!
Christa, Mike, and little Lizzy
Recipes of the Week:
Grilled Chicken with Oregano, Cinnamon and Paprika
(from Bon Apetit, June 2000)
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh oregano
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 6 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
Whisk first 7 ingredients to blend in 13x9x2 inch baking dish (or something similar). Add chicken to dish and turn to coat with marinade. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour, turning occasionally. Spray grill with non stick spray; prepare barbeque (med. high heat). Grill chicken until cooked through, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.
Pac Choi and Garlic Sausage Stir Fry
- Pac choi, up to 4 heads (We recommend at least 1 head per person)
- 1 medium onion
- 1-2 inches hot pepper
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 lb garlic sausage
- Ginger (a piece about as big as your thumb)
- Soy sauce
Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok. Dice the onion and add to hot oil. Add minced ginger, minced hot pepper, and sausage. Sautee, stirring every few minutes, until sausage is coked through. In the meantime, chop pac choi into large chunks and rinse in cool water. Shake off water, and add to dish with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Cook for about one minute, or until leafy portions are wilted and lightly cooked, while the stem portions remain juicy. Serve over rice.
