Meat & Poultry; Grass-Fed/Organic

# 57 Grass-Fed Meat & Organic Poultry Is What's For Dinner
demonstration


Do you enjoy meat and poultry but fear they're not healthy choices? Peter will reveal the best-kept secret: there really is such a thing as high-quality and wholesome animal products. You'll be delighted to know that you can satisfy your protein cravings with organically-raised fowl and humanely-raised grass-fed meat. He'll explain why organic and grass-fed products are far superior nutritionally to grain-fed and you'll get to sample his innovative recipes for spring using these naturally nurtured products. Belgian-Style Pan-Seared Duck Breasts with Cherry-Beer Reduction and Dried Cherries; Grilled Skirt Steak with Fresh Herb Chimichurri and New Potato Tostones; Crispy Lemon Chicken Under a Brick with Sweet-Pea Barley Risotto; Roasted Rack of Lamb with Parsley-Thyme Crust and Baby Artichokes; and Organic Fair-Traded Coffee Granita with Whipped Cream and Toasted Almonds. (In addition, organic dairy and alcohol will be used and wine will be served.)

# 58 Grass-Fed Spring Lamb: 4 Ways + Fabulous Sides
demonstration


In this homage to spring---and to the resurgence of traditional farming---Myra takes a classic in new directions. Luckily for us, as interest in healthfully raised meat continues to grow, it's becoming more widely available. Myra will explain why grass-fed lamb that is not factory farmed is so superior to grain-fed in both nutrition and flavor. Here you will find four hearty entrees---starring the rack, the shanks, loin chops, and ground---with a supporting cast of sides that feature the best of spring vegetables. We will enjoy Rosemary Mustard Crumb-Crusted Seared Rack of Lamb; Braised Lamb Shanks with Shiitake Mushrooms and Red Wine; Roasted Herb and Spice-Marinated Loin Lamb Chops; Pita-Stuffed Lamb Burgers with Tahini-Glazed Spinach and Portobello Mushrooms and sides of Spring Pea Salad with Radishes and Feta Cheese; Potato Růsti; and Asparagus with Shallots and Lemon Zest. (Dairy and wine will each be used in one recipe and wine will be served.)
