Food we eat

We love food! food is such an important connection! In our farm, we grow food, prepare food, eat food, talk about food, and most of our conversations are had when we enjoy our food.
I'll post some pictures here of a few highlights of the meals we've had recently

Dinner#1


salad green with shredded beets, carrots and pine nut



seared local albacore tuna

Dinner #2 (Michelle's birthday dinner)



top to bottom: grilled lamb leg, baked purple potatoes, artichoke and eggplant antipasto, salad (arugula, defrosted home grown tomatoes and sliced bocconcini )

Dinner# 3

This is quite an assembly of food: salad greens, raw green onions, sliced braised beef shank shin, sauteed burdock root with hijiki seaweed, olives, pickled garlic, green onion pancakes, spicy miso-tahini sauce (I borrow the idea from my friend Michael Fisher. Thanks Mike if you're reading this!), leftover Bangali lentile soup and that's beef broth in the big pot.



I know, there's a lot of random items going on here, but the main theme of the meal is the green onion pancakes. In northern China, people ate flatbread (or flour tortilla, kind of, but thicker) wrapped with raw green onions back in the days when food was scarse. a well-to-do version of that dish is to add some beef into the wrap. This dinner we were having here was our variation of this traditional northern Chinese dish.



Half of the savory green onion pancake (which we sell at the farmer's market), slices of beef, raw green onions, spicy miso-tahini sauce



Wrap and enjoy!
