Farm-To-Table - Fried Potatoes with Beef
This is not just your regular "fried potatoes with beef", this is ✨D E L U X E✨.

Step 1: Ingredients
  • Grass-Fed Beef Liver - 1 lb.
  • Onions - thinly sliced: 2 large
  • Red potatoes - peeled and cut into small cubes: 2-3 large
  • All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup
  • Salt and pepper - to taste
  • Butter - 2 Tbsp
  • Garlic, minced - 2 cloves
  • Beef broth or water- 1/4 cup
  • Fresh parsley - chopped (for garnish, optional)

Step 2: Utensils

  • Skillet
  • Shallow Dish
  • Plate Lines and Paper Towels

Step 3: Cook it!

  • Rinse the beef liver slices under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the liver slices with salt and pepper and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes.
  • In a shallow dish, place the all-purpose flour and season it with salt and pepper. Lightly coat each liver slice with flour, shaking off excess. Set aside.
  •  
  • Heat a separate skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
  • Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and fry them until they are golden brown and crispy, stirring occasionally. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.
  • Once cooked, transfer the fried potatoes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with salt and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, melt the remaining butter (or use more oil) over medium heat.
  • Add the thinly sliced onions to the skillet and sauté until soft, translucent, and slightly caramelized. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  • Push the sautéed onions to the sides of the skillet. Place the flour-coated liver slices in the center of the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned.
  • Pour the beef broth or water into the skillet to deglaze the pan and create a flavorful sauce.
  • Gently stir the onions and liver slices together, allowing them to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the fried potatoes to the skillet with the liver and onions. Gently combine everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for a minute or two.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the beef liver, onion, and fried potato mixture to serving plates.
  • Garnish with parsley.

Artisan Food - Healthy Blueberry Pie

Artisan food is high-quality, handcrafted food made using traditional methods and local ingredients, emphasizing unique flavors and craftsmanship. They offer superior taste, support local economies, and prioritizes sustainability!


Step 1: Ingredients
Filling:
  • 4 cups sliced peeled baking apples (4 medium)
  • 2 cups frozen blueberries
  • 1⁄3 cup white sugar
  • 1⁄3 cup brown sugar
  • 1⁄4 cup flour
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Pie crust:
Step 2: Cook it!
  • Let blueberries partially thaw, if using frozen.
  • Pre-heat oven to 425.
  • In large bowl, combine all filling ingredients; mix well. Set aside.
  • Pie Crust: Mix salt with flour.
  • Cut shortening into flour mixture till crumbly.
  • Lightly beat egg, water and vinegar and mix egg mixture into the flour just till dough is made. Do not over mix.
  • Roll out half the dough and place into a greased pie plate.
  • Fill pie shell with fruit mixture.
  • Roll out the other half the dough. I usually then cut it into strips to make a lattice crust. If making just a plain crust be sure to cut a hole and slits in the top to vent.
  • Bake at 425 for 50-70 minutes or until apples are tender and edges are bubbly. Cover entire pie loosely with foil after 20 minutes to prevent the crust from browning too much. Cool 2 hours (if you can wait that long!). Serve warm or cold.


Gourmet Delights - Ice Pops

Move over, ice pops: There's a new dessert making waves this summer.

Step 1: Ingredients
  • 2 (14-ounce) cans sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 tablespoons grated fresh lemon zest (from 2 to 3 medium lemons)
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (from 7 medium lemons)
  • 1 cup chilled heavy cream

Special Equipment

  • 16-20 (3- to 5-ounce) ice pop molds; wooden ice pop sticks
Step 2: Cook it!
  • Whisk together condensed milk, zest, and juice. Beat cream until it just holds stiff peaks, then gently fold into condensed milk mixture.
  • Spoon into ice pop molds, stopping about 1/4 inch from top (filling will expand slightly when frozen). Tap filled molds on counter a couple of times to eliminate any air bubbles. 
  • Put cover on molds and insert sticks, making sure they are straight (important for removing top when unmolding). Freeze until completely firm, about 4-5 hours. 
  • To unmold, dip molds in a deep container, such as a pot of room-temperature water, letting water come to within 1/4 inch of top of molds, for 30 seconds. Remove cover and pull out the pops. Serve immediately or wrap individually in plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve. 
  • Enjoy!
