So to further celebrate the joys of locally grown food, I would like to try to share some of the recipes I've used them in. This recipe is the first one I've made containing produce from the CSA we've signed up for. A good deal of the ingredients are local, but not everything is since some ingredients I am just not able to get locally (yet), so I will note the source of each ingredient. Anyways, here's the first of hopefully a series of recipes, enjoy!!
Ingredients
Hakurei Turnips with greens, diced (CSA)
Handful of Kale, sliced (CSA)
Several Whole Eggs, beaten (from my girls)
Chicken Breast, diced (store bought, fresh if possible but canned is fine in a pinch)
Grated Parmesan Cheese (store bought, any cheese can be used but Parmesan is all we had at the time)
Chives with flower, diced (CSA)
Butter for coating the pan (store bought, Olive Oil also works)
Salt, Pepper, & and any other Spices/Herbs that I felt like adding (This time around it was Rosemary and garlic, all store bought and freshly ground)
(Note that I have not included quantities or measurements with the ingredients. Tbh recipes are merely a guide towards achieving a finished product and in most cases shouldn't be followed exactly. So really experiment with the quantities and flavorings, go nuts and just have fun making a dish catered to your own tastes.)
Set the oven to broil and leave it to warm up. In a skillet on medium heat, melt some butter and add in the chives and turnip roots. If you are cooking with fresh chicken, also add in with the turnip roots. Stir every few minutes until turnip roots have softened and chicken looks cooked. Once the roots have softened, add in the kale and turnip greens, cooking until wilted.
Sprinkle some salt, pepper, and other flavorings on top, and stir. Mix in some more flavor with the eggs, and stir. Pour eggs into skillet and give a quick stir to mix all of the contents together. Cook for a few minutes until the lower level of eggs seems to have firmed up.
Sprinkle cheese on top, covering most of the area, and move skillet into the oven. Cook in oven for 10 minutes or until the top is a golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing up and devouring.
