Here are recipes for this week’s specials at Monta Vista Market …
Lucky you! …. for TWO reasons ….
#1 reason you are lucky is that this past Wednesday I came up with two rhubarb recipes and will share them with you now because rhubarb is on sale this week at Monta Vista Market.
#2 reason you are lucky is that BROCCOLI is on sale and Monta Vista Market has an exceptional low price on it. So — I’ll show you how to freeze it during my cooking demo at MVM this Saturday, May 5th, 1 to 4pm. Click here to read more about the food demo.
Rhubarb Bacon Chutney
- 1/2 cup chopped rhubarb, (cut down the middle length-wise and then thinly slice half rounds)
- 1/2 cup chopped bacon, about 5 slices, cooked, cooled, diced
- 1/2 cup sliced green onion
- 1/2 tbls pomegranate syrup
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt (I used Kefir cheese)
Directions:
1. The measurements above are a guide, mixing equal portions of all the ingredients and then add enough yogurt to cover the mixture, or to desired amount.
• Will keep in fridge for 3 days.
• Serve as a snack, side dish or condiment.
• A couple people who tasted this dish voted to serve it with lamb (any lamb will do). I agreed, wholeheartedly.
They say ‘everything’ tastes good with bacon, even ice cream, and I’m beginning to believe it. I once served a dinner with bacon as the featured ingredient, it was used in every course. Click here if you are a bacon fan and want to see how I’ve used bacon.
