1 large garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 ounces arugula, coarse stems discarded
1/2 cup (1-1/2 ounces) finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 pound dried linguine

Buckeye Creek Farm
Liz Porter, owner of Buckeye Creek Farm in Woodstock,
farms the old-fashioned way. She grinds the heirloom corn that
she grows into grits and cornmeal, using a gristmill from the
1940s. A Georgia Grown member, the farm grows other fruits
and vegetables and sells them to restaurants and to consumers
at farmers markets.
" This is the way we make cornbread, " Porter says. " Corn is
naturally gluten-free. If you like flour in your cornbread, reduce
the amount of cornmeal. But that makes it more like cake.
Sugar? Not me, but some people love it that way! "
CORNBREAD
2 cups stone-ground cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup butter, lard, bacon grease or vegetable shortening
1 cup buttermilk, plus more if needed
1 egg
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together
the cornmeal, baking soda, salt and baking powder.
In an iron skillet, melt 1/4 cup of butter, lard, bacon grease
or vegetable shortening. Carefully swirl it in the pan to coat the
sides for baking.
Combine buttermilk and egg, and stir in the extra melted
butter (or fat) left from the skillet. Add this to the dry ingredients.
Note: Some buttermilk is thicker than others, so be prepared
to add more liquid until you get a good consistency for pouring
into the iron skillet. If you add too much, you can add more cornmeal.
Pour batter into skillet and bake for about 20 minutes. It's

garlic paste until smooth, about 1 minute.
Cook pasta in a 6- or 8-quart pot of boiling, salted water
until al dente, about 10 to 12 minutes. Ladle out and reserve
1-1/2 cups of the cooking water. Drain pasta in a colander, then
return to pot and toss with pesto, 1/2 cup reserved cooking
water and remaining 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, adding more
cooking water as necessary if pasta seems dry. Serves 6.

done when you can press it down and it comes back up.
Optional additions can be cracklings, fresh corn and fresh
jalapeƱo peppers, either sliced or chopped. Serve hot with chili,

cold glass of milk or buttermilk. Serves 6-8.
