SCRATCH Cooking ALL from Our Farm | Chicken and Leeks, Canning Apple Sauce

[@anitagrays3457]

I have that book!! The Cook's Companion by Carole Clements. I'll gladly send you a shot of the recipe.

[@susandutson7896]

I’ve have probably told you this before but if not you bring peace to my soul. 😊

[@hitchhikerfromanothergalaxy]

If there is anything better than having a Great Pyrenees, its having two!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@mimiconroy2830]

A lovely addition to white sauce is dijon mustard

[@annduffy1356]

The Dijon would be wonderful with the leeks!

[@ashleyashcraft1754]

Sometimes I add a little paprika too

[@karenmeech4948]

I do that with corn beef.

[@kathy2539]

I love leeks but I have to say that I use both white and green parts of leek after peeling off some of the top most leaves which usually are looking a bit messy you can cut up the white and green and cook. It has great tastiness. I love with butter and potato, in fact just about anything. Leeks are very versatile in the kitchen.

[@jesaenza69]

Gosh, I need a freeze dryer. I’ve been saying it forever. This is giving me the inspiration to just spend the money and get one.

[@patriciawilson6524]

Truley enjoyed this video..never disappointing.❤

[@katrine7321]

The green parts of leeks are awesome in soups. Either leave them in big cuts and take them out before serving. I started to cut them thin and leave them in the soup and it's so good.

[@nourrmw2]

the patty pan squash look like something out of fairyland

[@toniatalley1977]

You grow such beautiful food. I just love your channel so much. You're one of my favorites

[@UrbanCountryStyleByJudy]

I cannot thank you enough for introducing me to a steam canner. It’s such a game changer!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Truly!!

[@billierichter1379]

I LOVE my steam canner!

[@Strattiffy]

I love watching someone use a really well-sharpened kitchen knife! What do you use to keep your knives sharp?

[@pattifore]

Just amazing! So happy I found your channel!

[@janlovesiowa6142]

A day of cooking with LOVE. how wonderful so much love in the food and kitchen!

[@AZJH8374]

THANK YOU FOR NOT ADDING 8 CUPS OF SUGAR TO YOUR APPLES! SO MANT HOMESTEADERS DO, & I CRINGE!! LOVE ❤️ YOUR CHANNEL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL 🙏🏻 NURSE JUDI IN SCOTTSDALE AZ AND EUCHARISTIC MINISTER.

[@ilonacrooks5899]

Hi from Australia, use grain mustard in the leak and chicken dish, its supper delicious, just spread a little on the chicken before stuffing the chicken😊

[@desraygrieve9685]

I dehydrate the leeks green leaves and powder them I use the power in soups and stews for flavouring

[@krisk6256]

Leeks are awesome to grow! Especially for potato leek soup with a little bit of bacon and fried shallots on top and of course potato leek gratin is great too! Can't wait to try your recipe! Your leeks look fantastic, Chelsea!

[@hannahkayee831]

Thanks for the idea! That sounds absolutely delish!

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Hurray for Leeks! Yummy dinner Dish. 💚

[@franziskabertram3286]

We tend to use most of the greens from the Leek as well. Especially in soups. Just cut of 7-8cm or so. Most of the good stuff (vitamins etc.) is in the green part not the white. As dirt tends to be inside the layers, it`s important to cut them first in rings and then soak them in water to remove the dirt.

[@Texaschik01]

My mouth was watering watching you try the chicken casserole

[@sgrvtl7183]

The chicken/leek/squash recipe looks wonderful! and chunky applesauce is a favorite of mine, all from your homestead. Great video!!

[@JSK2909]

So many great leek dishes, we really love them poached in milk for a lovely side dish to fish or chicken. If you would like them as a star of the dish, then burnt (chargrilled) leeks are absolutely stunning - we also love them as a meat free option, packed with flavour, and lovely over a little tahini.

[@annaking9213]

The food looked delicious.

[@brendamiller8140]

Awesome video so enjoyed it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💞🥰🤗

[@wilderchilder2901]

Your outfit at the start… adorbs! Plaid and coveralls… so Canadian 😊

[@mariaowen3425]

You could try to can your chicken and leeks and chicken broth for a shelf stable meal with some easy cooking for you! Just an idea 💡 😊

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

I just love your kitchen, and I love leeks, so thank you for the ideas.

[@LovesRock]

White wine and dijon in there with some heavier cream would be golden ❤❤❤

[@dhansonranch]

Everything looked very good! Good stuff!

[@kittyrichards9915]

Warm, chunky applesauce is the best.

[@angievictory2332]

Everything looked delicious!

[@phyllisgabourel7506]

Love your leaks and chicken lunch I look yummy 😋

[@mariellendowell544]

Love your channel & learn sooo much from you.

[@kristyhale9195]

Love watching your videos. I hope that soon there is some reprieve from the fires and smoke. I especially think of all the animals outside who don't have an option of being inside.

[@sueramsey8181]

Chicken and leeks are a lovely combination - it's hard to do anything wrong with it. You could also use pork chops or diced up pork if you eat that.

[@heartofmythril]

Using your own garden goodies is the best feeling! I keep staring at the tomato sauce I canned thinking how amazing it is that I grew it.

[@debbielicis6257]

Yum! I want to come around for lunch please.

[@vickyprice1932]

Wow, Oakley has gotten big!!!!

[@lynsmith2698]

Hi Chelsea. We got a lot,of rain today, (Wednesday) so it helped settled the smoke down. You dish looked delish. I planted leeks again this year, it’s been years, I may have to try this recipe, then plan on planting more next year, great video. 🌷🇨🇦

[@cathyrich4611]

Love Leeks! We made potato soup and leeks - so yummy!

[@Kez_abi]

The entire leek is edible!

[@raindot5156]

Long ago I remember reading Julia Child quoting her husband saying that vermouth was an excellent substitute for wine when cooking. I’ve always had a bottle of vermouth on my pantry shelf since then, and used per his advice with grand results.

[@belieftransformation]

Thanks for sharing all that you do! I’m canning my applesauce after getting lots in the freezer. Blessings to everyone 🤗💗🇨🇦

[@lisepettigrew876]

I did quite a lot of leeks a couple years ago in the freeze dryer. I did not blanch, the flavor is good, no problems.

[@kskorner74]

You could dry and powder the greens to use as a seasoning

[@iartistdotme]

It would be a special touch for your applesauce - if a branch is taken from the apple tree, sliced thin with a hole punched into a slice, then sting a 'tie' thru and burn the date into the 'label' - what a really cute label that would be. Your boys may really enjoy a project like that for a gift for their grandparents. I know I would love it. Just what you need - something else to do - LOL.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

It took me a minute to figure out what you meant. That would be cute for a Christmas gift, too. You wouldn’t have to use apple wood, though.

[@heathervanek8762]

That chicken leek patty pan dish over rice sounds amazing! I love leeks too, yours grew so beautiful! I also leave skins on my apples, so much nutrition in skins. we love chunky apple sauce also. ❤

[@kirstievapron4705]

So pleased that things have settled. Thought about you all. Much love to you and your family. ❤

[@michellenorris211]

Could you show us how you make your salve when you can please? Chicken looks delicious!

[@sarahtrew9331]

I love that your high tunnel is a tomato jungle! I dream of being able to create this one day myself 🥰 even if it is by accident from not pruning!

[@jacquienatale2160]

Thanks... definitely going to try chicken...looks amazing 😂

[@lynngliottone2812]

My goodness that chicken dish looks insanely good!! Lol. Guess I missed lunch eh? Drat...🙂

[@stephencameron1709]

Love that recipe! Sounds delicious. Val C

[@jillcaponi8995]

I’m so jealous of your beautiful tomato plants. Down here in Tennessee my tomatoes died of disease by the end of July.

[@nancycowan6109]

It’s always such a pleasure to watch one of your videos. Thank you! ❤️

[@junecombs7043]

ohhhh my you have your warm clothes on 😢 I'm not ready for cool weather! love your channel xo

[@danamama6766]

Oh my gosh love that wood lid opener too!! Do you know if she makes them? Yes that is sunshine on a cutting board :) Ok....my mouth is watering at that chicken leek squash...yum! Almost apple sauce season here to. hugs

[@christyleeper966]

Yes! I’d like to know more about the can opener too 😊

[@jodeys.568]

I would also like to know where to get one!

[@Sylvie_M]

Yummy chicken dish. You could add a sprinkle of fresh parsley on top at serving time.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

if you remember when planting leeks next year use a broom handle or something similar to push a 6" hole and simply drop the leek in hole, your done and will get much longer whites on your leeks. dont fill in hole just leek at bottom will grow perfectly.

[@amyerion9710]

That looks like a great tasting meal.

[@kikomartin-pr]

Good afternoon Chelsie. So happy to see another video.

[@sherriekemper1828]

Your meal looked wonderful. I would love to have a high tunnel jungle like yours--just so I could sit in there and tell myself I grew it all myself!

[@okbookgirl]

Leeks need to be washed after they are chopped. Due to how the grow they often trap dirt in their layers. You put them in a large bowl of water and swish them till the rings separate and the dirt falls to the bottom.

[@rachelcobbphotography]

For vegetarians, I think the leeks and sauce would be nice in a winter squash or even a stuffed pepper. I grow leaks and usually make potato leek soup. Need to try this.

[@marvona3531]

Or with carrots, millet ...

[@Morse-t5z]

Well, that meal just looked delish as did the applesauce. I just bought leeks and have fresh chicken breasts, might have to give this a try but using some fresh zucchini. Thanks. So enjoyable to follow you.

[@patriciaflaherty5029]

Oh my goodness, I can hardly wait to try that chicken, leek, squash dish. I'm going to just bake it in the cast iron skillet though, bc I'm lazy that way.

[@karenmeech4948]

I love leeks and cheese sauce

[@samjones9465]

When I do this recipe I use cream cheese inside the chicken with the leek or if making a sauce like you did I add the cream cheese to the sauce. I also stuff a pork joint the same - just make a hole inside the joint, I add apples inside the pork as well. Yummmy. You can use the dark greens for leek and potato soup and use an immersion blender to puree it all - you'd never know the difference - also good in any soup that's blended. Keeping the whites for eating as a vegetable. So jealous of your garden, will be making myself a small garden next year for certain - love your videos.

[@BlackDogDesigns]

Looks delicious😋

[@wtb61]

Add some oil to your butter when frying. It will keep it from burning and smoking. I use olive oil.

[@tinaelliott8029]

One fellow Canadian to another, new subby here, thank you for your videos. I am from the other coast, I am just starting to binge watch your videos, believe it or not we just had a frost warning last night. Thankfully it didn’t do much damage here. I am going to start canning my homemade “rotel” tomorrow as well as yellow and green beans.

[@maureenhargrave3568]

You could try adding curry and coconut milk/cream to the sauce and have a whole new dish

[@carmancloud]

Your cast iron is so perfect. One day when you have the chance could you talk about how you care for them?and that dinner looked amazing! 😋

[@doodlevagner5675]

Check out Cowboy Kent Rolins. Lots of cast iron videos. Cooking and cair.

[@hannahkayee831]

​@@doodlevagner5675love every single thing I've made of Kent Rollins. ❤

[@DianneNash-nh5vu]

Thanks again, Chelsea!😘

[@nevillemignot1681]

Watching the TV news the other night i did see vision of the wildfires in Canada, i hope they are nowhere near you, and you and yours are safe..........................God bless.

[@susanwilliams1881]

Thanks for sharing

[@hannahkayee831]

If you like Indian food leeks are AMAZING in it!

[@carolwhisenhunt7504]

I know you are so satisfied with your garden harvest of goodies. Such a beautiful meal for your family. I loved this Chelsea. Ty.

[@futurefolk9919]

I'm actually going to attempt to grow leeks in fall garden! When I'm successful I'm going to keep this recipe in mind. It looks so good🤗

[@crankybanshee3809]

Gardening tip: When planting out leek seedlings overplant them (plant them deeply like with tomatoes) and hill your leeks a little as they grow to increase the size of the white bottoms which is the tastiest part. Good luck and enjoy.

[@mumsie2739]

Yum...yaaaay...looking forward to trying the recipe 😋

[@jeffpeters4497]

That was a great looking recipe! I love making meals of anything that includes fresh produce from my garden but especially one pot or pan. What kind of apples did you use for the apple sauce? The absolute best that I have ever tasted is an apple that is almost impossible to find unless you either grow or know somebody with the trees is yellow transparent or lodie, if you haven't ever tried either of those and get a chance to you will be hooked.

[@79PoisonBreaker]

those sunburst pattypan squash plants are crazy prolific. I made the mistake of planting 3 plants last year and was harvesting 30-50 squashes every week lmao, way too much, just 1 plant this year and no fertalizer seems more my speed of a few a week lol

[@lynnsteiner1580]

Try an apple butter pound cake.😋

[@ashleyashcraft1754]

I bought myself a steam canner today. I only processed one load of plum jelly but it was so quick and i love that it uses so much less water! I am curious to see how it does with bulk batches but i just bought it this afternoon. I was talking to my husband about my gripes about canning and the water for waterbath canning was a big sore spot for me. I hadnt heard of a steam canner before a couple weeks ago on your channel. Now it seems im seeing them pop up on other channels as well. Im not one to rush out and buy things like that, but i had to give this one a go. So far, so good.

[@shant2885]

I just freeze dried a bunch of my leeks….I didn’t blanch them. They did require extra dry time so I recommend slicing them in half as well. I just received your cookbook today❤

[@kristinthomas2229]

My tomato plants are growing everywhere. Some staked some not. None trimmed. I'm still trying to find a good way to stake them up where they are. Hopefully next year, I won't be crawling around trying to get to the ripe tomatoes.

[@robingirven4570]

Your applesauce just made me smile. I’m so looking forward to processing our apples this year. Pie filling and sauce.

[@tinam9844]

What a fantastic dish. Thanks for sharing it with us. Going to have to give it a try for sure.

[@francesdambrosia8593]

What about adding a little flour to make a roux to make the chicken dish a little creamy

[@make.do.mending]

Oh Chelsea, your videos always brighten my day. Hugs to you from over here in the UK

[@make.do.mending]

Ps. I always eat the dark green bits of the leek but if they’re too tough they add a gorgeous flavour to stock x

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Busy, busy! The chicken dish looked yummy! Even though I missed getting your cookbook on your site, I was able to purchase one on Amazon, so I’m excited to get it!

[@Bren-ip4mt]

Your garden is beautiful..i cooked leeks wrong way..lol thru away stalk..lol..must be why ends were bitter..lol

[@bridgetmarden7224]

You should name it Sunshine Chicken

[@КлубРыболовный]

Зеленые листья порея можно высушить, сделать порошок и потом использовать в готовке.

[@pmmurf101]

Loved this video, as much as I loved all the others! Wow, that squash was amazing, I’ve never seen one that shape and colour before! Maybe I’d be lucky if I ventured to a local farmers market? (I’m in the Ottawa area). Great looking dish you created with the leeks, squash and chicken! I would definitely want to try to duplicate it! Thanks always for your inspiration!

[@kaybusby7507]

I love the way you remember something from the past and recreate the dish, it looks delicious. Never had leaks so wondering how they taste my guess would be like a turnip. Thank you for sharing. Got my cookbook today and I can't wait to try several of them, making my shopping list.

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Like a sweet onion sort of.

[@crankybanshee3809]

Leeks are unexpectedly and surprisingly sweet. They are not a polarising flavour so don't be afraid to try them - you should be in for a treat.

[@homeschoolontheCroft]

Definitely not like turnip. They’re a mild, sweet, yummy onion-y flavour.

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

That dinner looked absolutely amazing! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@susanbell2771]

🤤Yummy,

[@rachelbeane6326]

I didn't see a link to where you got the hand made can opener. I loved it and would like to purchase one!

[@zevab3178]

That looks yummy. 🤤 I make leek potato soup. Really good.🤤
