Local, organic miso

We recently noticed the miso stocked at the Hendersonville Community Co-Op is a local product.  The American Miso Company was started in Rutherfordton, NC in the early 80′s.  Their organic miso comes in a variety of “flavors”, and we decided to try a container of Mellow White (Miso Master Organic).  The purchase inspired us to search out some recipes to try this “new to us” product, and the first one we discovered on the Epicurious site comes from a May 2007 issue of Self Magazine.  We don’t recall finding many chicken recipes that take so little effort but offer so much flavor.  The chicken can be marinated a short time, or longer if you prefer.  On this particular evening, we served the chicken with roasted butternut squash and some sliced avocado – it doesn’t get much easier than this…  The leftover chicken is excellent served as a topping for a green salad.
