The calendar turned over this week, and it truly seems that Fall is settling in on us. I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for this gloomy weather to lift for a while. We deserve a crisp, sunshiny day soon!
If you browse the product listings for this week, you’ll notice an abundance of greens. Whether you fit in the “I-only-want-them-the-way-Grandma-does-it” camp, or take a more modern approach, there’s not doubt that greens are good for us. I had them southern style yesterday at lunch, with lots of tasty shreds of smokey pork floating in the mix. Delicious with a corn bread muffin and pepper sauce! My brother-in-law Aaron, on the other hand, prefers his greens barely cooked and on the garlicky side. You can give it a try, too. Here is a great link on how to cook greens quickly: http://food52.com/blog/9579-how-to-make-sauteed-greens-without-a-recipe
You may also notice that several of our farmers are offering eggplant. Here is a link on ways to cook eggplant: http://www.onegreenplanet.org/vegan-food/different-ways-to-cook-with-eggplant/
And we have peppers! This weblink features a slide show with recipes for bell peppers: http://www.kitchendaily.com/read/16-best-bell-pepper-recipes
Maybe some of these ideas will inspire you to go to the kitchen and cook up something yummy for your family.
Thank you for supporting locally grown agriculture and for choosing to purchase locally. Know your farmer, know your food!
We’ll see you Wednesday.
Thanks,
Beverly
