Whole Wheat Penne with Cabbage and Cumin
from Almost Vegetarian by Diana Shaw taken from the Mariquita Farms website
2 t olive oil.
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 large carrot, peeled, thinly sliced (any color carrot will do fine)
2 cups shredded red cabbage
1 medium potato, peeled and sliced paper thin
1 t cumin seeds
4 oz. fontina or taleggio cheese, thinly sliced
3 cups whole wheat penne pasta
Heat the oil in a large non stick skillet (or use more oil if using a regular skillet) over medium heat. When hot, add the onion, carrot, cabbage, potato, and cumin, and saute until the onion is soft and limp, about 8 minutes. Cover and let steam until the cabbage is very tender and the potato has cooked through, about 12 minutes. Turn off the heat.
Meanwhile, cook the penne according to package directions. Drain, then quickly toss into the skillet, along with the cabbage mixture and the cheese. Toss briskly with two wooden spoons and serve at once, in warmed bowls.
Barn Update: We are moving along getting all the ducks in a row, so to speak for the massive Barn Moving Project. Since we aren’t sure yet whether or not the hospital site will be approved we are waiting for that decision before we pursue any more publicity. We do need to do all the ground work, however, so that we are ready if and when the hospital is approved.

EGGS---Our chickens are starting to lay their
eggs! Hooray. These beautiful and delicious eggs are available
at the Farm Stand. Better watch out, though: the customers
at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market would take them all if
we'd let them. You all get priority! Come check them out and
see what a really fresh egg looks and tastes like.
Calling all loyal CSA members. We would love
to put your recipes in the Menu. If you have anything that
you'd like to share, please e-mail me at evie@tierravegetables.com
