scott, adam, and i were talking at the market about how much fun it is to cook from the farm, but how sometimes a "quick" meal is needed, due to our busy schedules and the like. scott has an amazing solar oven, which i'd love to know more about, and adam praised the crockpot.
inspired by the idea of a "quick" meal from "slow" food:) i decided to give an under 30-minute dinner a try with what we got from the farm yesterday:
basil (1 cup, chopped)
1 zucchini (cubed)
1 squash (cubed)
2 new potatoes (cubed and blanched)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tiny red onions, chopped
1 tbl. olive oil
i put put the olive oil and garlic in an iron skillet and let that go for about 1 minute and then added the rest of the stuff and let it cook down for about 10 minutes. the flavors were amazing and it was a simple dish. total cook time from prep-->table: 30 minutes
as a side dish, i took that amazing red kale and sauteed it with olive oil, garlic, and 1/4 cup veggie stock and 1 tsp. sugar, and then topped it with toasted almonds.
one thing i can't love enough is how eatin' from the farm has gotten me out of regular food ruts, has caused me to be creative with cooking, and as a result, has gotten us into eating healthier foods. it is a win-win situation. not to mention how fun it is to have this relationship with adam and darbi and to support their farm while meeting other farm-share folks and trading recipes. nice.
