We have a fantastic “this is what I want for my birthday dinner” meal idea this week! The Bulgogi is crazy good! Flank steak marinated in a Korean sweet and spicy mix with carrots, onions and cabbage served over rice – so delicious! Then, if you double the recipe, you can enjoy the leftovers on the Bulgogi Pizza with spicy Scallion Kimchi! We have been craving this pizza ever since we made it! And, we wouldn’t leave you hanging with just those two! The Chicken Shawarma is excellent and perfect for fresh in-season summer veggies, as is the Summer Farro Salad! Farro is an Italian ancient grain that is making a comeback and definitely worth trying!
It’s Hatch Chile time! The Hatch Chile Crab Cakes with Peach Salsa are a perfect way to enjoy Hatch Chilies, which you can find at Johnson’s Garden Center! And, if you are in the mood for a little kick, try sautéing some Shishito Peppers (which you can get from our newest partner, Seiwert Farms, at the Kansas Grown Farmers Market)…see if you become as addicted as we are!
