Although there are many a snowflake gathered on the ground outside, we've still been treated with brightly colored fresh food at the Port Angeles Farmer's Market each Saturday--rain, sleet, wind, snow, or shine.
As usual, winter has put us into a hearty state-of-belly. So, we've been coming home from the market with local steelhead, albacore tuna, beef, and BACON. Did I mention the smooth Gouda from Samish Bay Creamery?
With all of these hearty delights, one needs some fresh veggies. Lucky for us, brassicas abound, with: kale, brussel sprouts, romanesco, broccoli--oh my. We're still enjoying the mightiest shallots I've ever tasted from our friends, Jen and Bob, at Pacific Crest Farm. And of course, carrots, parsnips, taters, garlic and others from the under(ground) world in our own back yard. Usually one or a combination of the latter make it onto our plates.
Some of our favorite winter meals:
seared tuna with sake-sauteed veggies
Clark Farms(deconstructed)meatloaf, bacon-sauteed sprouts, and sweet tots
Cheesy toast with soup
Tempeh Reubens
Justin also makes killer -- as in delicious and woah-my-gosh spicy-- lentils and thai-style coconut curries.
What do you like to eat this time of year?
