  1. Lamb Chops with Lemon and Garlic
    Marinade
    1/4c fresh lemon juice
    2 T olive oil
    2 T soy sauce
    1/4 c chopped green onions
    6 cloves garlic, minced
    1 1/4t grated lemon zest
    fresh ground pepper to taste

    8 lamb chops

    Mix together the marinade ingredients in a shallow dish large enough to lay the chops in a single layer. Lay the chops out in the marinade, turning to coat thoroughly. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes or up to 2 hrs in the refrigerator.
    Prepare you grill, either gas or charcoal. Grill the chops on the hot fire, turning once or twice, for 10-15 minutes until medium rare. Serves 4.

    Jerusalem Artichoke Pancakes
    Serves 4 as a side dish

    1 lb Jerusalem Artichokes, scrubbed
    ½ large yellow onion
    1 t. salt
    2 T whole wheat flour
    1 T corn starch
    2 eggs, slightly beaten
    Salt and pepper to taste
    2 T canola oil
    2 T butter

    Coarsely grate the Jerusalem artichokes and onions. I use a food processor which make a quick and tear-free job of it. Place grated mixture in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss and let stand for about 20 minutes. Squeeze as much liquid from the vegetables as possible and place in a large bowl. Add the flour and corn starch. Toss well. Add the eggs and salt and pepper. Mix well and let stand for 15 minutes.
    Meanwhile heat 1 T oil and 1 T butter in a large frying pan to medium high. Place 4-5 ¼ cup blobs of the artichoke mixture in the pan and flatten into pancakes with the back of a spoon. These will not hold together the way potatoes do so be gentle. Turn carefully when brown on one side. Cook until brown on both sides. Place in a warm oven and cook the second batch with the remaining oil and butter. Serve immediately.

  4. Rosemary Cookies
    posted Sep 16, 2009 8:08 AM by Vicki Reich [ updated Sep 16, 2009 10:16 AM ]

    Rosemary Cookies

    I made these cookies for Market one day and they quickly disappeared. I think you could substitute lavender or lemon thyme and get equally yummy results. The recipe comes from "The Best of Thymes" by Marge Clark which I highly recommend.

    1/2 c. butter
    1/2 c. oil
    1/2 c. sugar
    1/2 c.powdered sugar
    1 egg
    1/2 t. vanilla
    1/2 t. baking soda
    1/2 t. cream of tarter
    2c. flour
    1T. chopped fresh rosemary or 1t. dried rosemary

    Combine all ingredients except rosemary in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly, adding a bit more flour if the dough is sticky. Add rosemary and gently combine. Form into small balls, about 1-1 1/2" in diameter, and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten balls with the bottom of a glass dipped in sugar. Bake at 375F. Check after 6 min. Turn pan and bake another 2 to 4 min until pale brown and firm. Makes 3-4 dozen.

  5. Roasted Beet Salad
    posted Aug 5, 2009 9:10 AM by Webmail vaspencer [ updated Aug 5, 2009 9:39 AM ]

    Ingredients:
    6 medium beets with greens attached
    2 large oranges
    1 small sweet onion, cut through root end into thin wedges
    1/3 c. red wine vinegar
    1/4 c. extra-virgin olive oil
    2 large cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 tsp. grated orange peel

    Preparation:
    Preheat oven to 400ºF. Trim greens from beets. Cut off and discard stems. Coarsely chop leaves and reserve. Wrap each beet in foil. Place beets directly on oven rack and roast until tender when pierced with fork, about 1 hour 30 minutes. Cool. Peel beets, then cut each into 8 wedges. Place beets in medium bowl.

    Cook beet greens in large saucepan of boiling water just until tender, about 2 minutes.

    Drain. Cool. Squeeze greens to remove excess moisture. Add greens to bowl with beets. Cut peel and white pith from oranges. Working over another bowl and using small sharp knife, cut between membranes to release segments. Add orange segments and onion to bowl with beet mixture. Whisk vinegar, oil, garlic, and orange peel in small bowl to blend; add to beet mixture and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Let stand at room temperature 1 hour. Serve.
