| Field Roast, Leek, Garlic, Kale, Spinach, Tomatoes |
Since 1969, the wheat you buy in the USA is a hybrid of real wheat—the wheat I ate as a child, the wheat our parents and parents’ parents ate. Could that be why pasta tastes better in Europe than it does here? Could that be one reason so many people have bad reactions to wheat products?
If I do eat pasta, I spend the money on organic pasta from
Italy or from Eden Foods (one of the few companies to label their products
“non-GMO.” Fortunately, I love Quinoa.
It’s easy to make, relatively inexpensive, and it’s beautiful in place of pasta
or rice.
Here’s an easy and delicious dinner:
One Field Roast Italian [UN] Sausage: chop it into bits and
fry in a good pan with a little olive oil:
Sauté
a nice piece of chopped leek
a clove of garlic
a few pine nuts
Add:
chopped Kale
chopped Spinach
and cover until the kale is cooked
Chop a few tomatoes or run them through the food processor
until they make a sauce:
Pour over kale mixture, stir, and serve over a bed of
Quinoa.
PS: This is insanely delicious. (If you have a red pepper on hand, use that, too.)
PPS: I added no salt because there's enough in the field roast un-sausage to give it a kick.

Joan, a little off topic, but back in May of 2007, you posted something about the difficulty you were having finding Worthington Stakelets, and how you finally found them at our online store. You wrote the most delightful description of one of our employees, a gentleman with a "smooth-as-a-warm-flowing-Tennessee river voice," with whom you would have run off with if you could have. I discovered your blog post while searching online for Stakelet information a few months later and so loved your description of Robert that I printed it out and kept it all these years. He passed away on Monday and I read your post at his funeral this afternoon. It so captured Robert's dignity and charm. I wanted to let you know you got to participate in his sendoff in a way. Best wishes, Cynthia Holzapfel, Mail Order Catalog
ReplyDeleteOh! I remember him. What a charming man. I am so sorry to hear of his passing. Rest in peace, Robert.
DeleteThank you, Cynthia, for letting me know.
