Green curry, Rose veal & golden ramen broth

View this email in your browser

Thanks so much for your feedback on the piece we wrote last week, Grass Roots Drought Response including the eight reports from eight farms. If you scanned the length of it and thought 'yep, nope' and parked it for later, please don't forget to return to it as it's bound to tell you something interesting about the farmers who feed you.

Last week's newsletter was serious, long and demanding (for all of us - it takes quite a lot of time to write these things), so this week we're giving you lots of exclamation marks instead.
Here are the highlights!
~ Pastured Rose Veal Box: save 10%!
~ Our fabulous Pastured Pork Ramen Broth returns!
~ Organic Green Chicken Curry
~ A new batch of Aromatic Chilli Oil
~ Fresh Grasslands Sommerlad chickens
This fortnight's batch arrived yesterday - that's a roasted Sommerlad pictured above. There really are few things better...

Also, Sift Produce have a few spare Produce Boxes this week and they are gorgeous - order now and pick up on Saturday. Or Georgie will be here with her fabulous fruit and veg this Saturday morning from 8.00 am.

NEW! PASTURED ROSE VEAL BOX! SAVE 10%!
A crowd-pleasing mix of T-bone chops, rump steak, marinated neck or shoulder roast, mince and that old favourite, veal schnitzel! (Veal Parmigiana, here we come!)
Our rose veal comes from five to eight month-old calves that are milk and grass-fed and run with their mothers and herd on pasture for the duration of their lives. The Rose Veal Box includes veal from Franckin's and South Hill, two NSW farms that we've worked with for over eight years.

PASTURED PORK RAMEN BROTH RETURNS!
Made with mixed pork bones & trotters, organic chicken bones, ginger, onions and organic garlic, this fragrant pork broth is the base for your healthy, home-made ramen. This is a photo of dinner from one of our excellent customers.
Keep it simple or jazz it up depending on your mood. Throw in any vegetables you’ve got to hand along with thin slices of pork, noodles, a dash of our Aromatic Chilli Oil and you’re set.

ORGANIC CHICKEN CURRY! DINNER FOR $10!
A classic, green chicken curry based on a David Thompson recipe and made with certified organic chicken, Thai herbs and spices and coconut milk. Feeds three adults or two adults and two kids.
Serve as is with steamed rice or noodles, a squeeze of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of coriander leaves. Steam or stir fry vegetables on the side or grab a handful of whatever's in the crisper, chop it up into small pieces and chuck it in the pot to cook in the curry juices. That's what I fed two of the ferals last night and they hoovered it up.

MARINATED PORK SCOTCH
Pork scotch (neck) is right up there with the best and the combination of the sweet and salty marinade with the richness of the pork is really good. Roast, grill or barbecue (don't overcook) and serve with rice and stir-fried seasonal vegetables and plenty of fresh chilli.
Available online or at the butchery.

ROASTED TOMATO, BASIL & ONION SAUCE
Made with organic tomatoes, onions, basil and garlic and Karrabool extra virgin olive oil. Instead of blanching the tomatoes, we roast them with the onions, oil, garlic and salt and pepper. This gives the sauce a richer flavour. Serve with meatballs or eggs or soups or casseroles or simply toss through pasta with loads of parmesan, extra fresh basil and a drizzle of chilli oil.
Available online or at the butchery.

A BONE TO PICK

View skulls here.
Inspired by traditional Dutch Delft pottery and hand painted by artist Henrietta Farrelly-Barnett, we love these cow, horse, wombat and wallaby skulls. Prices range from $650 to $150. Ask to see them at the butchery.

CHEW THE FAT Read our blog for stories from the farms, produce and event news, ruminations on value and trust, a few dodgy jokes and the occasional rant about food labelling. Sometimes we talk about our pets - chickens, children, dog.
