CSA — Blog — MMM Home Design

So, I am definitely not the model CSA member. I am slow to use my produce, and I am not a fan of this mess o' greens we keep getting.

But, recently, when reading a menu for the Peekskill Brewery, they had these potatoes on the menu that sounded delicious:

Bacon Wrapped Fingerling Potatoes
Carmelized Onion Puree and Caper Aioli

When we arrived, they weren't on the current menu. Since the pregnancy cravings seem to stick with me until satisfied, I decided to use up our CSA spring onions and tiny potatoes and give these a whirl on the 4th.

First, I caramelized the onions by cooking them up in butter until they were a delicious caramel brown and were very aromatic.

I then pureed the onions using my immersion blender.

While I was working on the onions, I had the potatoes boiling. I waited until they were nice and soft, and then got ready to assemble.

Let the assembly begin!

I finally figured out that the quickest method was to smear some of the caramelized onion puree onto the 1/2 strip of bacon and then roll up and toothpick it together.

Throw those babies on the grill!

Mmmmmmmmm.....

Pardon my 'cute' blue plastic bowl for the caper aioli- I was too lazy to put in a cute bowl!

We loved them...would definitely do these again!

We have joined a CSA for the summer through Blooming Hill Farm. I had never been out to the farm itself, but heard that it is very fun. We decided to check it out one recent Saturday morning. It was dreamy. I didn't have very high expectations....but wow, this place is just precious. I want to live in a place like this. I found serious inspiration everywhere that I looked while we were there. Our quick stop turned into a nice long visit with playtime in the stream and a yummy brunch.

Check out the attention to detail....
