This time I was trying to use things up because I’m about to go on a business trip, so I wasn’t able to use wholly local ingredients, but all things considered, I think I did pretty well.
I took the tomato and tomatillo from the CSA, garlic and onion from the farmer’s market, then added in mushrooms from the grocery store (I believe they were from a neighboring state, so at least partially local, and sauteed them in the skillet where I had cooked the beef (very local! bought at the farmer’s market). The couscous is the main thing for which I don’t have any idea of a source.
Using the beef drippings really added to the flavor, so I used minimal salt and oil. It turned out well and fed me for at least four meals. I was rather pleased with it.
