Back to Pasture

With the opening of the farmers markets here in Chicago last week I am like a ruminant who has been allowed out into pasture after a winter of eating hay; I am obsessed with fresh green things. Pea shoots, spinach, baby lettuces, arugula have all been making their way down the gullet. This week's dinners have included:

• Sauteed greens with a bit of prosciutto and shallots over olive oil tossed pasta.
• A spinach omelet.
• A massive spinach salad with warm bacon dressing.

And for tonight I'm brainstorming a pizza with pork sausage (meat from the awe inspiring Mennonites of Organic Pastures) and greens over some of the remaining roasted tomato marinara from the freezer.
