Creamy Kale and Potatoes

Ingredients
4 large Little Organic Farm Kennebec potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
Coarse salt, for boiling water
2 cups organic chicken stock
1 large head Fresh Run Farms Dino kale, chopped
2 tablespoons Straus butter
3/4 cup whole Straus milk
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, fresh or grated
1 teaspoon ground thyme
2 scallions, sliced
A handful of Cow Track Ranch parsley, chopped
Directions
Boil potatoes for 15 minutes in salted water. Drain potatoes and return them to the hot pot and mash.
In other pot, heat stock to a simmer. Chop kale tops, discarding tough stems. Add kale to broth and cover. Simmer 10 to 12 minutes.

In a large skillet over moderate heat melt butter and add milk. Season with nutmeg and thyme and add scallions to the pan. Remove kale from cooking liquid to the milk and butter mixture using a slotted spoon. Stir in 1/2 cup of stock. Add mashed potatoes to milk and kale and stir until combined and creamy, 1 or 2 minutes. Stir in parsley and season with salt and pepper, to taste.


Braised Marin Roots Farm chicories with Matos cheese, Cumin and Honey


Ingredients
1 cup of shredded St. George Cheese from Matos Cheese Factory (can be purchased at Cowgirl Creamery)
4 large heads of Marin Roots Farm chicories
2 tbsp. of organic peanut oil
2 ¼ tbsp. of Marshall Farms honey
1 pinch of cumin seeds
Salt and pepper

Directions
Wash the chicories and slice them lengthwise very thinly. Fry them in a very hot pan for several seconds with 2 tablespoons oil. Once the chicories have become transparent, set aside and keep them hot.
Pour the honey and add the cumin in the frying pan. Let reduce for 3 minutes. Next, add the chicories, salt and pepper and cook gently for 2 minutes. Turn off heat and sprinkle cheese on chicories to desired amount. You want the cheese to be warmed, but not to melt. Serve immediately.
