It is a special treat when our CSA members let us know how they’re putting our produce to work by sharing their recipes with us. Below is a submission from one of our members that blends those lingering Summer veggies with the hearty roasted flavors of the start of Autumn. Roasted Chicken with Stewed Vegetables By CSA Member Christopher Muniz Makes 4-6 servings. Roasted Chicken – Ingredients: 2.5 lb. whole Chicken 3 sprigs Thyme 1 Bay Leaf 1 small Onion, quartered 1 clove Garlic, halved Salt and Pepper to taste Instructions: Preheat oven to 450º. Pat skin of Chicken dry. Season cavity of Chicken and skin liberally with Salt and Pepper. Then add Thyme, Bay Leaf, Onion, and Garlic to cavity. Truss Chicken. Place Chicken on roasting rack or on some carrots, celery, etc. to raise it up and get good airflow all around it. Roast Chicken for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Turn oven down to 325º and roast until internal temperature reaches 160-162º. Once at temperature, remove and let rest on counter for 10-15 minutes.* Carve and enjoy over stewed vegetables! (See recipe below.) *Chicken should have a final internal temperature of 165º. Carry over cooking after bird is removed from oven at 160-162º should bring it up to 165º after resting. Stewed Vegetables – Ingredients: 2 tbsp. Olive Oil 4 cloves of Garlic, minced 1 Red Bell Pepper, sliced 1/4″ thick 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, sliced 1/4″ thick 1 Green Bell Pepper, sliced 1/4″ thick 2 medium Tomatoes, diced small 3 small Onions, sliced 1/4″ thick 1 medium Eggplant, quartered lengthwise, and sliced 1/4″ thick 1 Hot Pepper of choice,  sliced into 1/4″ rounds (Optional) 2 tsp. Turmeric 2 tsp. Red Pepper Flakes 1 tsp. Cumin 5 sprigs Thyme Salt and Pepper to taste Instructions: In a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, sweat minced Garlic in Olive Oil. Add all Peppers, Tomatoes, Onions, and Eggplant, Season with Turmeric, Red Pepper Flakes, Cumin, Salt, and Pepper. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are slightly wilted, about 7-10 minutes. Turn heat down to medium-low and add Thyme. Cover and cook another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. If liquid gets low, add a little chicken or vegetable stock, or water. Vegetables should be sitting in juices but not covered. Taste for seasoning and flavor. If all is well, remove from stove and set aside, or leave on very low heat until Chicken is roasted. Plate Chicken with plenty of stewed vegetables and some liquid as sauce!

End of Summer Fiesta Salad

September 19, 2016Holly RodricksCucumber, Head Lettuce, Recipes, Summer FoodsNo CommentsBasil, Bell Peppers, Black Beans, Cherry Tomatoes, Chicken, Colored Peppers, Cucumber, Garlic Powder, Gluten Free, Grilled Chicken, Grilled Veggies, Heirloom Tomatoes, Lemon Juice, Lettuce, Monterrey Jack Cheese, Onion Powder, Oregano, Salsa, Spring Mix, White Wine, Zucchini

This is easily one of my favorite seasonal meals. It’s a mix of just about every summer veggie I can get my hands on, topped with zesty grilled chicken. AND it’s a great way to throw something together out of all the odds and ends of your CSA share at the end of summer. If there are certain vegetables you prefer more than others, I encourage you to tailor the recipe to your tastes. Particularly as the seasonal offerings change, you can make substitutions based on what’s available. No matter what, I promise you’ll be coming back for seconds!   End-of-summer Fiesta Salad By Holly Rodricks Makes 4 servings. Ingredients: Quick Chicken Marinate – 2-3 Chicken Breasts (or 1.5 – 2 lbs. chicken or other poultry), cut into tender-sized strips 1 tsp. Onion Powder 1 tsp. Garlic Powder 1 tsp. dried Oregano 1 tsp. dried Basil 3/4 tsp. Salt 3/4 tsp. Pepper 1/3 cup White Wine* 1 tbsp. Lemon Juice (Optional) 1 tbsp. Olive Oil Grilled Veggies – 3-4 Zucchini, sliced diagonally lengthwise into long, flat pieces 3-4 Colored Bell Peppers, seeded and quartered Any other veggies of choice that you enjoy grilled Olive Oil Salt and Pepper to taste Salad – 1 bag Spring Mix (or 1 head Lettuce, chopped) 1 small Cucumber, sliced 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes, halved, or 1 Heirloom Tomato, chopped bite-sized 1 Avocado, sliced (optional) 1 cup Black Beans, canned or cooked 1/2 cup Monterrey Jack Cheese, shredded Salsa of choice Instructions: Mix all marinate ingredients together and allow to sit for 5 minutes until dried herbs re-hydrate a bit. Add Chicken to marinate and toss to evenly coat. Allow to sit for a minimum of 20-30 minutes, or as along as a full day. (I like to get the Chicken in the marinate in the morning before heading out for the day, and grill it when I’m home for dinner.) While Chicken is marinating, toss Zucchini and Colored Peppers in olive oil, salt and pepper. Cover and let sit for as long as Chicken marinates. Grill marinated Chicken and vegetables. When done, set aside to cook slightly. Fill salad bowls with Spring Mix and layer with Cucumbers, Tomatoes, Avocados, and Black Beans. Sprinkle with Monterrey Jack Cheese. Slice cooled Chicken and grilled veggies into thin strips and lay over salad. Top with heaping spoonful of Salsa and enjoy! *If you don’t have any White Wine on hand, substitute equal parts Vinegar and Water adding up to 1/3 cup and add 1 tsp. Sugar.
