*We featured this recipe at the Farm-to-Fork dinner from chef and CSA member Araminta David and all we heard was...silence. People loved the sauce and you can pour it on top of anything!
Ingredients:
- 1 bunch beet greens cleaned, dried and coarsely chopped 
- ½ cup fresh cilantro
- ¼ -½ jalapeno or hot chili pepper (depending on heat preference)
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 Tbsp fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp fresh lime zest
- 1 tsp salt
1. Mix all in a food processor or blender. Adjust seasoning as needed.
2. Serve on roasted beets or carrots (roast, then cool first) garnished with sliced limes and cilantro sprigs.
3. Other serving ideas: fish, chicken, any vegetable, in place of pesto, mixed into guacamole, etc.

 

 Have a great week everyone and thanks for supporting the Chatfield CSA!
