Thanks to Red Fire Farm for providing their CSA members with PYO strawberries and peas this time of year.
Tan-Tan Chicken and Snow Peas
Snow peas tossed in a peanut sauce that is just a little sweet, a little savory, and has a touch of heat.
Paella
The flavor profile is fantastic: sweet peas and creamy rice, acidic tomatoes, savory saffron.
Cod Fillets with Pea Puree
By using both the zest and the juice of the lemon you get a super flavor that holds up well after the fish has baked.
Chicken and Gnocchi with Spinach and Peas in Lemon Cream Sauce
The sauce has a soft heat from the red pepper being simmered into the milk, add to that a zing from the lemon and the sweet crunch of the peas!
Apricot Ginger BBQ Pork Tenderloin
This recipe has a base in apricot preserves (sweet) and a kick of heat (sriracha). Ginger is also a dominant flavor in this dish and we both love that.
Split Pea Soup
For a more meaty/smoky flavor, make your own stock with a ham bone or rib bones and add some chunks of ham in if desired.
Garden Vegetable Pasta
Yet another easy peasy pasta dish featuring loads of fresh veggies.
