A Taste of Minnesota in the Summertime.
Here are a few recipes that showcase some of Minnesota's wide variety of delicious produce. We will continue to add new recipes for more fruits and vegetables when they are in season.
2 Tbsp. Fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
2 Tbsp. Fresh onion chives, chopped
1 Tbsp. Jalapeno pepper, chopped (optional)
½ cup red sweet pepper, chopped
1 (12 oz.) tub light or fat free cream cheese
Combine all chopped ingredients in a medium size bowl. Add cream cheese. Mix well. Spread onto crackers, tortilla chips or shells, or French bread to be cut when served.
10 to 12 small, new potatoes, washed and halved
1/3 cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. Roasted garlic
3 Tbsp. Rosemary leaves, chopped
In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, roasted garlic and potatoes. Mix well. Be sure to cover the potatoes with the oil mixture. Bake at 375 F for 30-40 minutes on a baking sheet.
½ cup sun dried tomatoes
¼ cup olive oil
2 Tbsp. Roasted garlic—minced—4 or 5 cloves
Place basil leaves, sun dried tomatoes, roasted garlic and olive oil into food processor, chop until nearly puree—well blended
Prepare Salmon Plank to be placed into a sauté pan. Add 2/3 cup chicken broth and 2 Tbsp. lemon juice. Smear the pesto on salmon plank as it is braising. Braise salmon until tender—garnish with shredded Parmesan cheese just before serving.
