Tacos. Grilled chicken thighs with Asian pesto.

Everybody is bringing it! FKNA boys, nice work!

Prepping veg for roasted tomatillo salsa. After all this stuff was blackened and blistered under the broiler I tossed it in the vitamix with salt, olive oil, lime juice, and cilantro. Then, after it was nicely chopped, I put about a third of it in a bowl and tossed in an ear's worth of roasted corn that I cut off the cob. Dy-no-mite!

I prefer to take the skin off peppers after blackening. Never roasted the tomatillos. They benefit from skin removal too?

**Cruiser** · 09-12-2016, 09:17 AM

The toms blacken a bit but then the skins split and they start to lose moisture so they get pulled and tossed in the blender before they're really dark.

Mouth is watering. I could crush a few of those even at 9:30am! So many people use chix breasts, (myself included once a month or so), and overlook thighs. Thighs are so much better!

Pulled some cherry tomatoes, Rosemary, mint and peas from the garden to go along with dinner last night. Nothing better that shit you grew.

Without a doubt thighs are much more flavorful and most stores make it super easy and you can get them deboned....my fav cut to grill.

Looks an awful lot like polenta to me.

Without a doubt. Grilled up a batch last night. Family loves 'em.

Yep. I like the coarser ground, yellow corn of polenta better.

I went back for three more shortly! The "asian pesto" was an off-the-cuff creation and totally bomb:

1 extra large clove garlic
1 bunch cilantro
1/2 bunch scallions
Big hunk ginger, ~3 Tbs worth
1 Tbs tamari
1 Tbs fish sauce
1 Tbs olive oil
1 Tsp Sriracha
1/2 Tsp toasted seasame oil
1 Tsp glycine powder (a sweetener, sub in sugar)

Blast with the stick blender and enjoy.

Also, I bought some macha powder recently and love it. I'll never buy regular green tea again. If you like espresso, strong french press or other "chewy" varieties of coffee, this is the tea for you.

**MakersTeleMark** · 09-12-2016, 02:20 PM

Kraut, salsa, pickles.

**~mikey b** · 09-12-2016, 04:04 PM

Yum buddy!

Pickled peppers

Dried peaches

**MakersTeleMark** · 09-12-2016, 04:18 PM

Sweet! I put some peppers in with the cucumbers to keep them company.

**~mikey b** · 09-12-2016, 04:30 PM

Peaches are $2/# right now. I can dry two batches a week with my REI dryer. About $12 per gallon bag. Owen can eat one in a week. I'm trying to get ahead so I have them for pocket snacks for ski season.

Apples coming soon...

Farmed salmon? Sure does look like it shame on you.

A few months back, I posted "WTF to do with all these eggplant".....garden delivered some nice tender softball sized fruits.

Go to recipe is fries! Heavy salt and let them sit for 30 minutes, rinse and pat dry. Flour + egg + panko. Bake at 450 until golden brown.

Sauce is Greek yogurt, feta, oregano, S+P, lemon juice.

Tasty!
