Garlic Scapes and Mushroom Pasta in a Lemon & White Wine Sauce

This summer 51 Porter has joined the World PEAS CSA, which means that we get a lot of fresh, local, and novel (meaning not usually seen in your average grocery store) vegetables every week. Tonights dinner made use of some very delicious garlic scapes. The light lemon, wine and olive oil sauce really made the flavor of the garlic scapes come out, which is exactly what you want to do when you get your hands on some these summertime tasty morsels.  

Mushroom Quinoa Risotto with Summer Greens

Our first dish where Renee and Stephanie were really impressed by what they could cook. :) This proves that, truly, anyone can cook amazing dishes with relative ease. Make up a big batch of this to eat for dinner and have some left over to take for lunch!

Tapas & Sangria

Tapas refers to small dishes often served in Spain. They may be cold or warm, fried or sauteed.  Classic combinations include chickpeas, spinach, and garlic; roasted potatoes and tomatoes; or simply cold olives or cheeses.  51 Porter goes for a tapas twist complete with a pitcher of homemade Sangria and a sunset over Porter Road.
