It's CSA Season!

It's my favorite time of year in Colorado - heaps of local produce available at our fingertips! This year, Rob and I signed up for a CSA share from Grant Family Organic Farms. They have options galore. You can get weekly deliveries of everything from the expected veggies and fruit to bread, cheese, mushrooms, meats, eggs, flowers and more. We signed up for a single share each of veggies, fruit and flowers (yay!) and are two weeks in, and so far, so good, or perhaps I should say, so green! We've been receiving lots of baby spinach and lettuces along with plenty of fresh herbs (parsley and cilantro), plus green onions, radishes and rhubarb. It's such fun to pick up our share every Friday afternoon and embark on the challenge of figuring out how to use everything! Given all the cilantro, I've now twice made the below recipe that I found on allrecipes.com and it's become an instant favorite.


Grilled Halibut with Cilantro Garlic Butter

• 2 pieces halibut


• 1 lime, halved


• salt and pepper


• 1/2 C finely chopped fresh cilantro


• 3 cloves garlic, finely minced


• 2 T butter (I have also used Smart Balance and used less than 2T with no problem if you're concerned about your saturated fat intake)


• 1 T olive oil

Season the fish with salt and pepper and juice from half the lime. Send your husband out to grill the fish or pop it under the broiler if you're doing it yourself. Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the garlic and saute for about a minute, then add the cilantro, butter and the juice from the other half of the lime. Saute 1-2 mins. Remove from heat. When fish is done, top each filet with half the sauce. YUM! So simple, and sooo delish.
