We had folks over for dinner after production today. It was just a light meal with conversation. I made a Roasted Cauliflower soup, which I love because it’s easy and you can do other things while it’s becoming tasty
I also made Mixed greens with feta, pinenuts and blueberries for the first time. Again, a very easy recipe and delicious. I used the Icelandic blueberry, which is smaller, crisper and slightly more bitter than the blueberries I grew up with. If you have…drat I can’t remember the name of the berry. -E- what is the berry that grows in your front yard that’s like a blueberry, but isn’t? Anyway, those are similar to the Icelandic ones.
1 1/2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon honey
1 5-ounce bag arugula greens
1 10 ounce bag spinach
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (about 2 1/2 ounces)
1 1/2-pint container blueberries
1/4 cup pine nuts, toastedWhisk vinegar, oil, and honey in small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Combine greens, feta, and blueberries in large bowl. Add dressing; toss to coat. Sprinkle with pine nuts and serve.
One of our friends brought an almond lemon cake that I have to get the recipe for. Yummy.
Mary, your menu all sounds yummy and PLEASE do get that almond lemon cake recipe too!
The mystery berries in my yard would be either the evergreen huckleberries, (small, smooth,crisp and tart), or the salal berries, (larger, slightly fuzzy, softer, but with a rich flavor that makes a great pie)
By the way, I took the accent test and I come in at only 4%, which suits this New York girl just fine.
I was thinking of salal berries, which I remember as being earthier than blueberries, but perhaps huckleberries are closer.
