RECIPE: Summertime Watermelon Marinade

August 4, 2018

This super simple marinade recipe will add summer time flare to your next meal. We love it on our pasture raised chicken or on our Berkshire pork--the pork chops are great!

Ingredients:

Watermelon (you'll only use half)
1/3 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup simple syrup or similar
Garlic
Onion Powder
Ginger
Paprika
Red Pepper Flakes
Corn Startch

Directions:

Puree 1/2 watermelon and sieve to remove solids.
In a pot, combine watermelon, soy sauce, syrup, and seasonings to taste.
Boil marinade to reduce volume by 2/3. (about 1 hr)
Thicken with corn starch as needed.
Marinade chicken for 3+ hours.
Grill to perfection. We cook our drumsticks on a low heat, 10 min on the first side and 15 min on the second side. Shazam!

We hope you enjoy, and thank you for including meats from our small farm on your family's dinner table. From our pastures to your plate!

RECIPE: Sirloin Tip Beef Stroganoff

This meal is comfort food in a bowl! You can make it fancy with homemade noodles, or keep it easy and use whatever you have on hand. For maximum flavor, add drippings from pot roast or short ribs to your sauce!

RECIPE: Sausage Gravy

This sausage gravy is easy, versatile, and freezes well to boot! I like to whip up a mega batch and freeze it in family-sized portions so it’s ready for busy days during the school year. Go the classic route and eat it over eggs, potatoes, or biscuits. This also makes a killer pizza sauce (top with cheese of choice, mushrooms, and red onions), and it is the perfect base for Pepper Sausage Pasta. However you choose to chow down, we know this will be a family favorite recipe at your house.
