Vegetarian Citrus Pasta With Swiss Chard

This was on my list of things to do, when I was told to decrease my potassium intake, a bit. I hadn’t seen the numbers quite yet, but This seemed to be a bit contrary to those drives. But a plan is a plan. I believe this was my first time using sumac as a spice. I liked it’s having that citrus flavor without tall the actual juice. I’m going to look into a bit more. I used rainbow chard, instead, since that was what I had. I’m not a fan of whole wheat pasta, generally (behavior, etc) but this actually worked out pretty well.

This took a bit. Using some Napa cabbage from Grade A Gardens, pork chops from Crooked gap, and various other ingredients from other places, I prepped everything as directed. and then executed.

Garlic Scape Pesto Recipe
