Cooking from the winter garden

ImageImageSeems like I've been talking about gardening a lot lately.  I know, I know, it's winter why am I talking about gardening? Well, first I grow things from seeds and they get planted before spring arrives.  And second, I have a WINTER garden!  Yup, a winter garden.  Not something I could do growing up in Buffalo but here in California I can grow cool season vegetables in the winter and this weekend I had my first harvest: Snow Peas.  

Image As my first winter harvest it seems appropriate to participate in the Green Blog Project to post a blog about something you cooked from your winter garden.  

First, for those of you who live in a climate where you can grow a winter garden, a little on the snow peas.  They were actually really easy to grow.  I planted the seeds in the ground at the end of September.  I watered them a couple of times but for the most part nature simply took over.  Really easy, all you need is a trellis of some form for the peas to grow up and a 1 foot by 5 foot area....

ImageThe stir-fry, "Pork and Vegetable Stir-Fry with Cashew Rice " from Cooking Light, was equally easy.  A mixture of snow peas, onion, red bell pepper and mushrooms are sauteed with some ginger and garlic.  Add in some pork tossed with soy sauce, honey, and ginger, and  rice with cashews and green onions. That's it.  The vegetables take a bit of time to prep but cooking the dish was really quick and very tasty.  Even better tasting knowing we used our own winter vegetables...
