A dell’icious T-Bone steak with hearty greens.
Another T-bone making a debut on a scrumptious salad.
Braised short ribs!
Here Sarah was cooking up her Ossobuco, a scrumptious cut of Springdell meat.
This is such a tender and flavorful dish!
Sarah made a simple gluten-free pancake using her Winter CSA dairy products.
Here are some scrumptious sausages to accompany the pancakes!
Finally, we enjoyed some beautiful lion’s mane mushrooms from Farmer Elizabeth’s place, Fat Moon. These mushrooms were absolutely divine sautéed in a garlic lemon butter sauce. We confirmed that when cooked in this manner, they really do taste like lobster! We’ll add some information on them to the site soon, and feel free to visit Fat Moon’s site and pick up your own delicious fungi today!
We look forward to seeing many of you tomorrow at the 11th and final pickup of group A’s 2015-2016 Winter CSA season! If it’s not your pickup day, we hope to see you out in the ‘Dell for the Springdell Farm Spring Hike! Until tomorrow, sweet and savory dreams!
