It’s Week 15 of Dinner Plans and we’ve got a few new favorite recipes here!
The Braised Lamb Shanks (below) have been on repeat. This is mostly due, in large part, to the number of lamb shanks we’ve collected over the last few Meat Club deliveries from Five Marys Farms. Paired with a delicious brown butter colcannon and we’ve got a Sunday Supper we’ll be making on repeat for the next few weeks.
Seasonal Cooking Tip: Cabbage Creativity
When it comes to seasonal cooking, this year I’m sharing a weekly tip here focused on preparing ingredients, preserving foods, and kitchen hacks that help you save time.
This week we’re talking about a few ways to enjoy cabbage. It’s a cruciferous vegetable that is super nutritious as well as economical and budget friendly. I’ve been able to make at least a week’s worth of meals from a single head of cabbage from a given CSA box delivery. A few ways I’ve made the most of it: this Colcannon, this sauté, and a cabbage kimchi recipe that I’m working to get up on the blog soon. There are so many ways to enjoy it. What’s your favorite recipe for using up your cabbage?
