Asian-Style Beef Short Ribs and Grilled Egyption Walking Onions on Sauteed Greens with Parsnip Fries
not pictured: Carrot and Sunchoke Soup
This is what we grilled out on Memorial day. The ribs were another farmers' market purchase and all the veggies are from the CSA. We started with the carrot and sunchoke soup which is an Odessa Piper (one of my heroes) recipe found in "From Asparagus to Zucchini." The soup was delicious and fresh with the nutty flavor of the sunchokes really coming through. This is a little bit of an aside, but I found it so interesting (via "From Aspargus to Zucchini"). Sunchokes apparently do not contain starch, but instead something called inulin, which is a polysaccharide that digests slowly and helps to lower blood sugar levels. Cool, huh? The ribs were super tasty, and you already know how I feel about parsnip fries...
