Saccomaniacs Charity Golf Tournament – “Agriculture for Autism”

August 29, 2016 by Chefsthought

This is a great fundraiser that I had the pleasure of being a part of this summer. When looking at giving something back to the community, you always try to find something that fits in with who you are and this was such a great fit. Not only was this a fun a day that raised lots of money, but I met so many great people from the Agriculture community.

When I was asked to create a dish to be served on the golf course, I tried to think of something that would be a little different than the usual “gold course fare”. Luckily with so many people from Agriculture involved, there was a huge variety of product available for donations. I had clams from Sawmill Bay, collard greens from International Herbs, and apple cider from Taves Farms. I really wanted a smoked “porky” element to this dish, to finish it off. Unfortunately, there was nothing available to me that was pasture raised through donation. So as I was trying to figure out how I would finish this dish off, I received a text from one of my pork farmers saying he had a pig that he couldn’t sell because it was very low on meat and heavy on the fat, and I could have it at no charge. Perfect! I’ll render down some of the fat for sauteing the collards; I’ll roast the head, dice it up and add to the ragout; the hocks, trotters, and ham I’ll smoke and cook with collards! Boom, dish done! I was so happy with the finished dish and enjoyed cooking all day for the golfers!

I had some company when I was setting up! The deer I didn’t mind, but when one of the workers warned me about bears I got a little nervous!

Some Aldergrove nut fed pork worked its way into my dish!
