One Local Summer 2013 – Week 14

DSC_4570
Veal Marsala! One of the husband’s sisters was visiting and this was a quickie last minute meal for us.  We decided that the veal should be breaded, which turned out to be easier than I thought!  Add some potatoes and mushrooms cooked in a kinda-local wine, and we have a meal!  The wine is a  Marechal Foch from the Flag Hill Winery in New Hampshire, and the proceeds benefit the local Human Society.  We visited the winery on vacation and brought this back with us, so while it’s not really local, I’m allowing it since it travelled with us, and didn’t make a special extra trip on a truck.  Everything came together wonderfully, and having those two colors of potatoes on the plate was really fun.

Veal Marsala:
Veal – Birchrun Hills
Blue Potatoes – Jack’s Farm
Yellow Fingerlings – Brogue Hydroponics
Mushrooms – Oley Valley Mushrooms
Wine – Flag Hill Winery
Egg – Deep Roots Valley Farm
Flour – Mill at Anselma
Non Local – salt, pepper, olive oil

One Local Summer – Week 22

The husband decided that we ought to use up some ground bison and make his own special on-the-fly version of Italian Wedding Soup. This was a collaborative effort, and what we came up with is absolutely incredible. It’s far from traditional, but it was incredibly delicious and definitely something that will be made again. We had made chicken wings the night prior (boil wings, then throw on grill to crisp) so we had the chicken stock on hand already. Other than that, the recipe is below, feel free to print, use, and enjoy!

Italian Wedding Soup:
Bison – Backyard Bison
Red Onions – Maysie’s Farm
Garlic – Maysie’s Farm
Egg – Mt View Organics
Bread – LeBoon’s Homemade
Cilantro, Sage, Basil – My Garden
Carrots – Maysie’s Farm
Potatoes – Smith’s Produce
Chicken Broth – Boiled down from Mt View Organics wings (Tuesday Night’s dinner!)

    OLS: Week 6

    DSC_3383

    Week six of One Local Summer and it’s almost the mid-point of the thirteen week challenge. The husband decided to take the lead on this week’s meal with no objection from me.   In the back is a pile of mashed turnips and carrots with maple sugar added for flavor.   Clockwise, next is a Bison Meatloaf using ground bison, tomatoes, garlic scapes, swiss cheese, an egg, and last year’s frozen tomato sauce.   Finally, sugar snap peas finish the plate.   In the wine glass is a Strawberry wine.   It was a great meal, and even better, I didn’t have to cook it!
