Here's the SOLE food that's been served up since the New Year:
Steak from our 1/16 happy cow, plus potatoes, onion and mushrooms from the winter buyer's co-op. Let's just say those green beans in the background aren't there - since they are straight-up from the grocery store.
Husband took a day off during the week last week and made totally SOLE beef stock for me in preparation for the weekend, when I had plans for french onion soup! In the pot were bones from our 1/16 cow (really trying to clear out the freezer), carrots grown in pots on our deck, mushrooms & onions from the winter co-op, and water!
Actually, this was the weekend of soups. Here's a soup I completely made up based on what we had lying around the fridge. The orange color is due to a puree of sweet potatoes that were baked for another meal and I had a lot leftover. Mixed that with some of the beef stock, added some SOLE sage pork sausage from the market, a jar of the previously featured, totally SOLE One Straw Farm diced tomatoes and then you'll see my cheat on top - diced jalepeno from the grocery. I also added chili powder which was not SOLE.
here's my french onion soup: onions - freshly cut in local raw cultured butter
After an hour....
After two hours...
And with the broth added!
Didn't get a shot of the soup in a bowl with homemade herby french bread and local swiss cheese all brown and bubbly on top - but I'll include that in next months wrap-up, since I made this just tonight and the leftovers will surely be eaten this week!
