Now off to Jess’ house!
Hi everyone! I’m still fantasizing about last week’s pickled beets and lamb biscuits, but here we are already at the end of a new CSA week.
Sunday dinner consisted of slow cooker lamb shanks, side salad, mashed potatoes and steamed rainbow carrots with maple sugar. This was great because I got to use some of that wonderful celery from the chest freezer along with the summer tomatoes. Springdellicious!
We also tried a different recipe with slow cooker lamb shanks, a tagine with apricots. We skipped the olives in the recipe, and next time I may hold off on adding the dried apricots until maybe 1/2 hour before serving. The flavor of the lamb was great, but the texture of the apricots was a bit too mushy for me. This one will be a keeper, with a few tweaks.
Fried rice for meatless Monday is always a delight. I tossed the bok choy with some soy, ginger and garlic for this simple dinner. I popped a fried egg on top right after taking this picture. I love how the bottom of the bok choy makes a flower-shaped garnish!
I was given the gift of a giant edam cheese made at the University of Mississipi Department of Food Science and Technology. I’ve been enjoying the salty creaminess here and there throughout the week.
I couldn’t help making a nacho plate with it when I realized how well the edam melted in the microwave. Here it is topped with tomatoes and awaiting a bit of sour cream.
That’s about it for us this week! Please join us tomorrow as we “show” the 6th CSA box of the winter season. Until tomorrow, sweet and savory dreams!
