Farm to Table Recipes

Sautéed Greens with Pine Nuts and Raisins Recipe
Yield: Serves 2,

INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup pine nuts
2 Tbsp olive oil
4 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup golden raisins
1 bunch kale, chard, collards, or turnip greens, etc., about 1 pound, tough stem centers removed (if any) and discarded, greens chopped
1/2 to 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Roughly 1/2 cup dry white wine or water
Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
1 Heat a large sauté pan hot on medium-high heat and add the pine nuts. Toast until fragrant and begin to brown…pine nuts burn easily. Stir or toss the nuts frequently. Once they are toasted, remove from pan and set aside.
2 Add the olive oil to the pan and swirl it around. Add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds; the pan should already be hot, so it won’t take long for the garlic to begin to brown. Add back the pine nuts, add the raisins and the greens and mix well. Sauté, stirring often, until the greens wilt and begin to give up some of their water, anywhere from 1-2 minutes for spinach to 4-5 minutes for collards or kale.
3 Sprinkle salt and red pepper flakes on the greens. Add the white wine (can substitute water)—use a little more wine if you are cooking collards, a little less if you are cooking spinach. Toss to combine and let the liquid boil away, remove from heat. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Champaign, OH:  Local Thoughts For A Local Holiday

Happy Saturday morning, local market customers!!

Your market manager is about to head down to her moonlighting position of Santa Land merry maker, but before I head out, I wanted to share a holiday write up by our own Charlene…

She summed up exactly how we feel at this little local market of love. The love of local can totally extend into the gift giving season!! In fact, I hear more and more people say that they are keeping it local, this year. When keeping it local, make sure to look at our market. You can shop for everyone on your list, right here, right now…

Think about it as you read…

And, the gift giving can extend to gift certificates to our little market, for gifts that can last throughout…

Also…during this busy, hustle and bustle month of fun, don’t forget that you still need your veggies for staying healthy…Don’t forget to remember that both End Of The Road Farms AND CRSI/Strive are our go-to year round veggie people!!

Ok…I leave you know in a haze of coffee, Christmas tunes, and good cheer as I rush off to Santa Land…

Oh, and just FYI, today’s Santa will be someone very familiar to us all…can we give our very own Paul Wadsmith a HUGE thank you?? Come downtown, today, to catch him in action!!

Peace and Love,
Cosmic Pam

And now…words from Charlene…
