Monadnock Menus: Getting the Word Out

An initiative of Monadnock Farm & Community Connection

Monadnock Menus is a new initiative for farmers, restaurants, chefs  – AND YOU.  The goal is to create a community where local food is easy to find by identifying restaurants that are serving local food.  Fill out a Monadnock Menus Request Card every time you eat out – and leave the card on the table with your tip, or give it directly to a manager.

Where can you find this card?  Request cards and informational fliers are at:

  • Keene Public Library (on their events bulletin board)
  • Keene Chamber of Commerce
  • Stonewall Farm’s farm stand
  • Stonewall Farm’s booth at the Saturday farmer’s market
  • Peterborough Chamber of Commerce

Courgettes Rapees: Grated Sauteed Zucchini

By Katrina Hall at http://shesinthekitchen.blogspot.com

One of my favorite ways to eat zucchini is to grate it, drain it, and quickly saute it in a frothy foam of butter and a little olive oil. Every forkful is buttery and smooth – a delicious side dish with chicken, or fish, beef or pork. But it can also stand alone with a little fluffy rice on the side, or nestled up to an omelet. Or IN an omelet. Don’t skip the draining! Getting rid of some of the excess zucchini water is what makes this so good. Click to view recipe.
