A Twist on Meat and Potatoes (or, Tofu and Potatoes...)

Whenever we pick up our farm share, it is always exciting when the red potatoes are in season. We try to grab as many of the small ones as we can for this recipe:


Olive oil heated in the skillet, with Full Moon Farm dill (dried and chopped) - potatoes are boiled and placed cut side down...














Potatoes are cooked until the cut side is very crispy - so delicious!!



Local beef sauteed in a mixture of marinades (this one here is beef marinade, yellow mustard, hot sauce, and maple syrup, along with red and green peppers) and tofu sauteed with Full Moon Farm swiss chard - a perfect compliment to red potatoes!

Broccoli Cabbage Tofu Noodle Stirfry, 2010-08-10

As I'm apt to do, this is kinda a hodge-podge of recipes when searching for "broccoli tofu stirfry".

bowls

The tofu was pressed overnight, marinated in soy sauce for a half-hour, then baked for like 30-45 minutes.

the garlic is ready to unleash its awesomeness

Broccoli steamed with some soy sauce and water. Napa cabbage sliced thin and stir-fried. Carrots grated and sliced. Some amazing garlic. Scallions at the end. Vermicelli noodles for a base.

fancy-pants steamer is no more

In the middle, a wonderful thing happened.

accidental kitchen beauty

I tried two sauces: our go-to garlic/ginger/sesame/coriander/peanut butter/rice-wine vinegar/siracha/maple syrup sauce and a sesame-oil, rice-wine vinegar/ground ginger sauce.

garlic and ginger

I did like the latter a lot, but for the left overs, I headed back to the peanut sauce for convenience and tasty-tastiness.

finished with peanut awesome sauce
