Went to the Peterborough market a couple of months ago and saw huge clusters of Shitakke mushrooms. My dad is a mushroom connasure so I took pictures to send him. The Mushroom Man persuaded me to buy a cluster! We loved them. So, my mission yesterday was to get more shiitake mushrooms to compliment out 1/2 farm share from Lunar Rhythm Gardens.
Success, we purchased blue and yellow shiitakes.Went to the market to get shiitakes. I then picked up out 1/2 share from Lunar Rhythm Gardens and wow, what a load of veggies! Green onions, another kohlrabi, a bag of mixed lettuce, one of spinach, broccoli, mixed swiss chard, yellow zucchini, cucumber, head of red lettuce, beets and basil. Bought fresh eggs for the week too!
Had Maple Greens with Chicken: Swiss chard, and last weeks kale partially cooked with the garlicscapes, greens and balsamic vinegar, with a tad of maple syrup.
Tonight is a new version of Mango Curry (from my previous post - made successfully twice now) stir fry using the two kohlrabi, green onions, and broccoli.
After that, lots and lots of salad!
Maple Greens with chicken
Cook chicken first and set aside
Chicken
Dice two small chicken breasts
2 tbsp butter
3 spring onions dice
2 garlic scapes finely diced ( top of stem with in opened flower)
Melt butter add all other ingredients, cook til no longer pink.
Set aside, with liquid.
Greens
2 tbsp olive oil heat
And stir fry the greens:
Wash and slice finely (in strips) 4-6 cups mixed Swiss chard and
4 cups red kale
Add after greens begin to cook:
1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp of Clancey's maple syrup
Salt and pepper
2 tbsp water
Then cover with a lid and simmer but be careful not to over cook, kind of like a semi limp salad.
Divide into two plates and add chicken ontop
Top with:
1/4 cup chopped basil mix in last (if you chop it early, seal in Saran to keep from oxidization)
I added all the juices, they could be reduced, but we were too hungry!
Tasted great, will make again!
