Farmers Market Month, Day 2: Mandarin oranges, garlic sprouts, Chinese broccoli, acini de Pepe

[rachelmanija]

I had blueberries and acini de Pepe, heated with butter and maple syrup and a little milk, for breakfast. It was fine but I prefer rice for that sort of thing.

For lunch, I stir-fried more acini de Pepe with green garlic/garlic sprouts (green shoots and immature heads), Chinese broccoli, kimchi, steamed Chinese sausage, pickled garlic (sue me, I like garlic), and soy sauce, with flowers from the broccoli sprinkled on top. That was delicious, and I will have the leftovers for dinner.



After all that, I still had about eight cups (dear God!) of acini de Pepe left, so I individually bagged and froze the rest. You certainly get a lot of bang for your buck with that stuff.

I also had some juicy, sweet Mandarin oranges, so bright and glistening that I have immortalized them.
