Rites of Spring
Apr. 11th, 2009 12:06 pmToday was the first day of the outdoor farmer's market (it goes indoors over winter, but I didn't bother this time - not much in the way of fresh produce). So I dusted off my bike (where is my chain grease?! - I really would like to actually finish a bottle of chain grease some time before I lose it... though I'd had this one for something like four years...) and headed up.
Sometimes I think that the primary reason I go there is the biking. Gods but that felt good. And I *really* need to either decide I'm leet enough to rework my own shifters or find a local bike shop.
And there was produce. Great to see everyone too. And a gorgeous day for it.
So I came home and made this:
cook two cups of brown rice (in pressure cooker, if you have one)
Saute in good oil one large sunchoke, cut into sticks
a couple of big handfuls of kale, chopped
a handful of chopped oyster mushrooms
and 3-4 ramps until tender
swirl in one goose egg. When it's about half way cooked
add the rice.
Add a bit of tamari, some lime juice, and some fresh basil and mint (hey, it's seasonal if I grew it myself)
Nom.
