Yesterday, between downpours, we stopped by the Allen Street Farmers Market and got some tomatoes, green onions, radishes, garlic scapes, cilantro, and a bunch of dill. Then we headed on over to the Lansing City Market to get some red potatoes and jalapenos.
Upon arriving in my kitchen and cracking and Oberon, this is what happened:
Ingredients for salsa:
3 medium ripe tomatoes, finely diced
3 green onions, minced
3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped
1 bunch of cilantro, rinsed and minced
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp cumin
1 Tbs cider vinegar
1 Tbs olive oil
salt to taste
red pepper flakes to taste (if you want an extra kick)
Simply mix all ingredients together in a bowl and eat with tortilla chips!
*Note: Salsa is one of those beautiful dishes that doesn't require any one ingredient. If you have corn instead of tomatoes, use it! Black beans? Bell peppers? Red onions? Mangos?? You don't need to make a special trip to the store to make a great salsa - just use whatever you have laying around the kitchen that's screaming "Eat me before I start to rot!"
Ingredients for Skillet Potatoes:
8-10 small red potatoes
1 bunch of radishes, cut into 4ths
3 green onions, minced
3 garlic scapes, minced
~1/4 cup dill, chopped
3-4 Tbs olive oil
Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Scrub potatoes and bring them to a boil in a large saucepan. Reduce heat and simmer for 12-15 minutes, then remove from saucepan and cut into cubes or wedges. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet on medium high heat and throw in the potatoes and radishes. Stir constantly for 4-5 minutes, letting the potatoes brown and the radishes soften. Add the green onions and garlic scapes, and salt and pepper. Stir constantly for another 5 minutes, then add the dill. Mix evenly and serve!
