Vegetable Egg Rolls

Published at In Category Napa cabbage, Recipes

From the chefs at Community Farmers Markets. I love this recipe which was demoed at a recent market from Community Farmers Market. What caught my eye was the sweet and sour apple sauce. It’s delicious. It won’t make much of a dent in that big cabbage, but lucky that Napa is such a good keeper. Just pull off as many leaves as you need for your recipe and store the rest in the refrigerator. And make extra sweet and sour apple sauce to top a Riverview pork chop or grilled chicken.

Sticky Five Spice Eggplant

Published at In Category eggplant, Recipes

I look to local chef Ilene Rouamvongsor for ideas for that Japanese eggplant. Ilene’s Sticky Five Spice Eggplant is easy and quick. She prepared it for a demo at the Decatur Farmers Market and maybe you can relate to the headnote from the market manager: “Eggplants, admittedly, can be hit or miss for me. It’s funny how you can dislike or love the same vegetable, depending on how it’s made! Maybe you feel the same way about eggplants or other vegetables? That’s why I encourage you to explore the many sides of something you may dislike forever – you never know until you try! Here is one of the easiest and most favorite ways to cook eggplants – sautéed garlicky Asian eggplants in a sticky 5-spice soy sauce. These eggplants were sitting in my fridge for a while, but if you cook it the day of or within a couple of days of buying, you’ll find that these eggplants’ purple color can remain vibrant when cooked in this recipe.” ~Conne

Miso-Butter Glazed Radishes with Noodles

Serve those radishes hot with Hetty Lui McKinnon’s recipe for Miso-Butter Glazed Radishes. Five ingredients plus salt and noodles. And it uses the greens as well as the radishes. It’s from her “To Vegetables, with Love” cookbook which is a constant reference in my kitchen. ~Conne
