Sesame Salmon Fillets with Pac Choi (Bok Choy)
Farm Fresh and Fast
Serve with rice or wasabi mashed potatoes for a sophisticated supper.
Serves 2.
1/2 c sesame seeds
1/2 tbl grated fresh ginger
1 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 egg
1 lb salmon fillets
1 tbl vegetable oil
4 c (or more) thinly sliced baby pac choi
1/2 red bell pepper, seeded and diced
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
In a shallow dish, combine the sesame seeds, ginger, black pepper, and salt, stirring together until the mixture resembles wet sand. In another dish, lightly beat the egg. Dip each salmon fillet into the egg, letting the excess drip off. Gently press the fillets into the sesame mixture, turning to coat both sides (if fillets have skin, coat only the skinless side).
In a large nonstick skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat; cook the salmon, turning once, for 4-8 minutes, or until cooked to your preferred doneness. Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate.
Increase the heat to high. Add the pac choi, bell pepper, vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet; cook, stirring often, for 1-2 minutes, or until the pac choi is wilted. Arrange the pak choi on individual plates and top with salmon.

Celeriac
Celeriac Risotto with Pesto
4 servings
4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
3 tablespoons butter
1 good-size celeriac, peeled and sliced (about 2 cups)
1 1/2 cup leeks
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup white wine
1 cup shredded Parmesan, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
Premade pesto to taste, about 1/2 cup
Heat the broth in a saucepan and keep it warm on the stove while you prepare the vegetables. Melt the butter in a separate saucepan and stir in the celeriac and leeks. Cover and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender but not brown, about 5 minutes. Mix in the rice and stir for 1 minute. Add the wine and let boil, continuing to stir until it is absorbed into the rice. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot broth and stir until it is absorbed into the rice. Continue adding broth in this way until all the broth is absorbed and the risotto is creamy yet still al dente (this process should take about 25 minutes). Remove the risotto from the heat and mix in 3/4 cup of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the pesto. Serve with the remaining cheese sprinkled on top.

Cucumbers
Aunt Carol's Refrigerator Pickles
INGREDIENTS
1 1/2 quarts water
2 cups white vinegar
1/2 cup (5 ounces) pickling salt *
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
2 large onions, sliced
1-2 heads garlic, cloves peeled
8 heads dill (or 4 tablespoons dill weed or dill seed)
5 pounds pickling cucumbers
Chile peppers, minced (optional)
*Kosher salt works too, but make sure to weigh it to ensure that the volume is correct, as it is usually denser than pickling salt. It may also take longer to dissolve, so you may have to let the brine boil longer.
PROCESS
In a large stockpot, combine the water, vinegar, salt and mustard seeds to create a brine. Bring to a boil on the stove. While heating, layer the slices from 1 onion on the bottom of a large, nonreactive container. Add the cloves from 1 head of garlic, 4 heads of dill and the cucumbers. When the brine has reached a vigorous boil, let it cool slightly and pour it over the cucumbers. Add the remaining onion slices, garlic and dill on top add the chile peppers (if desired). Let the mixture stand at room temperature for 1 day, then move to refrigerator. Lasts for at least 4 months.
