Seasonal fritters

Fritters are wonderful because they are so versatile with the ingredients that can be used. In the summer zucchini and squash can be the main ingredient and in the winter root vegetables provide just as much flavor.I like fritters with a sauce and my go to for easy sauces plain Greek yogurt. Mix sriracha or your favorite herbs with some lemon juice and put a dollop on top of the fritter. We are headed into summer in about a month so this recipe shows spring veggies but they can be replaced with whatever is currently in season. With all of the grating I recommend using a food processor to save a lot of time.
Ingredients;
  • 1 medium turnip peeled and grated
  • 2 small carrots peeled and grated
  • minced red onion or finely dice green onions
  • 1 kohlrabi peeled and grated
  • minced garlic
  • choice of fresh or dry herbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • salt & pepper
  • olive oil
Instructions;
  • Combine turnips, carrots, kohlrabi and onion. Place on a dishcloth and squeeze out all moisture. This is an important step otherwise the fritters will not cook correctly.
  • Mix the vegetables, garlic, flour, herbs, egg, salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat. (I always use our cast iron for frying.) Drop a large spoonful of the fritter mixture in the skillet and flatten with a spatula. Cook several fritters together but make sure there is plenty of space between them.Cook for a couple minutes or until they start to turn brown and crispy and do the same for the other side. 
  • Transfer to paper towels and add a little salt then serve on their own or with the yogurt sauce.

Pork Chops & Blueberry sauce

I do not have a great track record with pork chops. I have to cook them real low and slow or else they come out dry. We recently welcomed Heather's Custom Meats on as a supplier. I like to test out what we put in our boxes so we know that it meets our standard of quality. How much more of a test for quality than to grill a pork chop. With the blueberries in our boxes this week and just seemed like the perfect partnership. This dinner was quick, easy and the pork chop far exceeded our expectations. This is when I remembered that a good dinner has to have quality ingredients. If you don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen but impress your family then put this into your dinner rotation.

Ingredients;​
  • Pork chops
  • Olive oil
  • Fresh herbs and garlic minced
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1/2 cup white wine or chicken stock
  • 2 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 3 tbs raw honey
  • lemon juice
  • 2 tbs butter
Instructions
  • Drizzle olive oil over both sides of pork chops. Rub the herbs,garlic, salt and pepper onto each side.
  • Place the pork chops on a grill. If gas set at med heat. Cook each side for 5-6 minutes. Remove from grill and let rest.
  • In a saucepan add the blueberries, balsamic vinegar, wine or stock and honey.Simmer until the sauce reduces by half, stirring occasionally. Add the lemon juice and butter and simmer for several more minutes. 
  • Plate the pork chops and pour the sauce over the top.
