As the climate changes we try here at the farm to adapt. We have learned from fellow farmers that ginger, a tropical plant, is something you can grow here in Missouri with some technique. We are working too at growing other hot weather crops, like lemongrass.<\/p>\n

We had a nice little patch of this aromatic in our herb garden this year to see how well we could grow it in a raised bed. You will be tasting the result. According to Wikipedia<\/a>,  “It is believed to help with stress-related disorders, and has been shown to have antifungal<\/a> and antimicrobial<\/a> properties.”<\/p>\n

I have an affinity for its flavor. I first sampled lemongrass in the mid-1980’s at a restaurant in Rochester, New York where I lived. I asked the waitress about the incredible lemongrass chicken I was eating and she came back with the recipe. So, if you eat chicken, I highly recommend this dish.<\/p>\n

This was apparently a very quickly translated recipe at the chef spoke only Vietnamese, so I have found that the ratios can be suited to taste. For a whole chicken I would grate a full tablespoon of lemongrass. The grated onions are the carrier of the marinade, and I will grate up to 1\/3 cup for a whole chicken.<\/p>\n

Broiled Lemongrass Chicken<\/b>
1\/2 chicken boned
1\/4 tsp fresh ground lemongrass (use a grater)
1\/4 tsp salt
1\/4 tsp sugar
1\/4 tsp cayenne
1 tsp grated onion
1 small clove garlic (crushed)<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/a><\/div>\n

Mix all seasonings together. Pour over chicken and marinate 2 hours to overnight. Bake chicken at 375 deg F for 45 minutes, turning once.<\/p>\n

To use the lemongrass you need to trim, and then grate the base of the plant. The stalk that remains is then in perfect shape to steep for a healthy tea.<\/p>\n
