See how to prepare a quick veggie sauté. The recipe was submitted by guest contributor Melanie Albert*. This stir-fry was inspired by baby bok choy and fresh green garlic available through the Community Supported Agriculture program. Added to the stir-fry were other veggies from local farmers, along with sun-dried tomatoes and capers. During the middle of the stir-fry, she decided to de-glaze the pan with fresh lemon and add local Arizona citrus to the dish.
