We’ve never been the most diligent at preserving foods for winter. \u00a0We do it, but not on a scale that allows us to\u00a0eat locally every night through the winter.\u00a0 We have a new weapon in our arsenal this year, though. \u00a0Enos Farms frozen dinners. \u00a0Here’s how it works: on Tuesday they send out a menu to their email list. \u00a0If you want to buy something, you email them back by the following Sunday and it’s ready for you on Tuesday.\u00a0 Right now there are fourteen items available, and the list continues to grow as they add options. \u00a0The offerings include pork stir fry, two kinds of lasagna, cauliflower curry, and cabbage borscht. \u00a0So far we’ve tried a veggie lasagna and the borscht.<\/p>\n

Enos Farms Cabbage Borscht<\/p><\/div>\n

The first time we had the borscht, we simply defrosted it and ate it. \u00a0And it doesn’t need<\/em> any modification, there’s plenty of flavor from the pork stock, root veggies, fennel and other spices. \u00a0The second time we decided to see how far we could modify it, so we added sour cream, malt vinegar, kielbasa, crispy hash browns and fresh parsley. \u00a0The borscht served as a great base and everything worked well together; the potatoes added a really nice crunch\u00a0but I’ll say the sour cream and kielbasa were probably unnecessary. \u00a0The vinegar helps to cut the earthiness of the beets, if that’s a flavor you have trouble with. \u00a0Oddly, I struggle with beets myself, even though my favorite smell in the world is petrichor<\/a>\u00a0(the smell of rain on dry soil), and the main chemical in petrichor is the same compound that gives beets their earthiness: geosmin<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to sign up to receive the weekly menu (there’s no commitment to buy), go to enosfarms.com<\/a>\u00a0and fill out the contact form (or contact us and we’ll get you in touch with them). \u00a0You can pick up you order from them in Spring Green, or depending on where you live, there might be other delivery options.<\/p>\n

If you don’t know Jeremy and Erin of Enos Farms, but you recognize their names, that might be because Enos Farms is also the official Driftless Appetite cake supplier<\/a>. \u00a0Starting November 1st, they are also going to be serving Sunday brunch<\/a> from 8-12 at their kitchen in Spring Green.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
