The day after

Friday, June 13, 2008

It was sort of leftover day the other day.  I had a couple chicken legs leftover from the Shady Acres Farm pack I bought last week, and I had a few more bunches of Hakurei turnips in the fridge, both of which had to be used up quick.  What wasn’t a leftover were the garlic scapes I cut out of my garden about 20 minutes before dinner!

I cooked up the turnips in my usual way (I swear that one day I will try a different turnip recipe for these, but they’re so good!!), and baked the chicken legs with a pat of homemade butter under the skin and basted with buckwheat honey.

The scapes were sauted in butter with the very last of the red bunching onions from my CSA share.  And they were delicious!
