Foodie Friday: Ham Hock Soup, Chard Spring Rolls

Apologies for not really doing a bang up job keeping the Salt Creek CSA recipes up to date here on the blog. Since we started the FaceBook page, I’ve been finding that a tad more interactive with farm members. But, I don’t want the recipes I’ve shared to get lost, as can often happen over time on facebook.

Here are the last two weeks of recipes.

White Bean Soup with Ham Hocks and Greens. I followed this recipe pretty closely using Nash’s ham hocks and a combo of collards and kale from the farm share. It’s simple, yummy and filling.

Swiss Chard Spring Rolls with Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce.  Other spring roll filling ideas: cooked shrimp, chicken, steak , pork all sliced up, shredded carrots and/or beets, shredded daikon or radish, cabbage, cashews or peanuts, mango, lettuce, basil, bell pepper, sprouts, avocado, snow peas, baked tofu, cucumber or anything else that sounds yummy.  And, the beet/daikon slaw I made as a filling once can be found here. I’m surprised to see that there are no carrots in that last recipe! I’d add them for sure.

Enjoy and happy weekending!

    i thought that the swiss chard rolls would be made with swiss chard leaves…i think you should try that if you have a bunch of chard. cut out the stem, if you have a braising pan cool, if not use the biggest bottomed pan you have, fill it with an inch or two of water and bring to a boil. lay a leaf or two in the water and blanch for 2-3 minutes. pull it out and dunk in ice water. dry off on a towel and use that as your wrapper for the roll. while you roll, blanch a few more leaves. mmmm. i think i might have to do that as soon as my chard gets big enough.
