There’s nothing quite like the waiting, especially in the early fall. My instinctual nature seems to be highlighted during the months leading up to opening day. The freezer isn’t nearly as full as it was in January. Fortunately, I’ve got a few friends who understand the waiting woes, and are always happy to share, whether it be stories, workload, or something to cook. Because a friend of a friend shared their harvest, I can share it too.

This recipe pairs well with Josh Cellars Cabernet Lodi Reserve. Josh Cellars has partnered with Operation on Gratitude for the second edition of Cabernet Lodi Reserve. Operation Gratitude is a non-profit organization, which has provided tangible ways for millions of Americans to say “Thank you for your service” to more than 2.6 million active duty service members, veterans, first responders and their families.
