This recipe is a farm favorite! When students visit the farm, they explore every step of growing food: from seed to plate. Last week, after students explored the row crops and greenhouse, students, teachers and chaperones harvested fresh ingredients for lunch in the field house.
Students from Ichabod Crane Elementary School prepared Green Vegetable Fried Rice, featuring fresh asparagus, chive flowers, and peas from the garden.

Ingredients:
4 cups cooked brown rice, cold
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil

1 cup fresh peas
6 cups baby spinach/kale, chiffonade
1 bunch broccoli rabe, chiffonade
3 eggs, lightly whisked
5 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 bunch chives, minced
Preparation:
- Heat vegetable oil in large skillet over high heat. Add the scallions, garlic and ginger and sauté 2-3 minutes.
- Add peas and asparagus, saute for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach/kale and broccoli rabe and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, or until greens have wilted.
- Make a hole in the middle of the pan by pushing veggies to the sides of pan and add eggs. Scramble eggs and then fold in with the veggies.
