Zani’s Spinach Pupusas with Growing Gardens
In our second class of the season with Growing Gardens, we visited the Providence Milwaukie Hospital Community Teaching Kitchen. Farmer and Chef, Zani Refugio showed everyone how to make rich pupusas filled with spinach and cheese, and delicata and peppers from Eloisa Organic Farm.
Zani’s Amaranth Quesadillas at Growing Gardens
In this class, we joined families at Growing Gardens’ annual Community CSA Celebration and sampled co-instructor Zani Refugio’s Amaranth Quesadillas. Together with peppers that Zani grew from seed her family sent her from Guerrero, and amaranth greens from Burundi grown by Happiness Family Farm, the quesadillas were delicious and lots of folks got to celebrate a beloved quelite.
