Cooking with the Seasons
A Taste of Summertime

This recipe from Epicurious calls for frozen berries, but we can only imagine how incredible it will taste with just-picked raspberries (Phillips Farm or Comeback Orchards), freshly made ricotta cheese (Raspberry Ridge Sheep Creamery) and pastured eggs (Apple Ridge Farm). Now that's a
fresh and local dessert fit for the 4th of July!

Primordia Mushroom Farm -
Mushroom Musings with Jesse
|
|
I wanted to share a lovely recipe idea I came up with and executed much to the joy of my family. Last week I shared my meatless monday recipe for Portabella mushroom caps. Most days, though, we eat meat at our main meal. That being said- it's never just meat. As the mom of two growing boys (one that could probably out eat us both if given the chance) I nearly always find a way to expand the meat- so overall lowering the amount we are eating, while still keeping our tummies full and our pallets satisfied. This past week I was making pulled pork in the crock pot- how to expand? Here is what I did:
Pulled Pork Taco Tuesday!
Pork mixture:
2.5 lb bone in pork shoulder
8 oz bbq sauce of your choice
1.5 lb white trumpet (aka King oyster) mushrooms
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup balsalmic vinegar
Cole Slaw:
2 cone head cabbages
3/4 cup mayo
1 lemon
1tbs sugar
3 cloves garlic, minced
salt and pepper to taste
Around 10 am I salted and peppered the pork and set it in the crock pot and added the water and vinegar. I set the crock pot to high and let it go for 5 hours.
At 3 pm I removed the pork shoulder and shredded it with two forks. I then grated the white trumpets on a cheese grater and added everything back to the pot with the bbq sauce. I turned the pot to low and let it go till dinnertime.
Separately, I shredded the cabbage, and added it to a bowl with the juice of 1 lemon, 3 cloves minced garlic, mayo, sugar, salt and coarse black pepper. I mixed it till it was consistent throughout.
I heated soft corn tortillas and served the pork in tacos with the coleslaw as the dressing. What a treat! Best of all- everyone ate a ton of mushrooms and the littles didn't even know!!
