Another recipe from Laurie Moore of Moore Farms and Friends.
“Oh, my gosh, try our delicious method for a slaw everyone will rave about! If you’re already firing up the grill this is a great way to get some great flavor on the veggies, too.”
This recipe is from Dianna Tribble of Tribble Farms. She sells her honey at the Roswell Farmers & Artisans Market on Thursday nights.
This is a recipe from the late, lamented Dunwoody Green Market. Pick up fresh turmeric from the Morningside or Peachtree Road farmers markets (where you can also pick up some of Riverview’s pork for dinner) and really make dinner a local feast.
As long as potatoes keep showing up in our box, I keep thinking of ways to enjoy them.
This recipe is like the best way to use those pretty potatoes – simple and then you season them however you wish. They really are irresistible.
This recipe is from Eric Roberts of The Iberian Pig and was demonstrated at the Peachtree Road Farmers Market this summer. A lovely side dish, a lovely snack all by itself.
Charring vegetables is one way Woody Back, executive chef of Roswell’s Table & Main, likes to add flavor to his dishes. When he’s cooking, he’s looking for six components – fat, acid, salt, aromatic, sweet and bitter. The charring provides the bitter in this soup. He demonstrated these recipes at the Morningside Farmers Market and Peachtree Road Farmers Markets this year.
He likes garnishing the soup with crumbles of soft goat cheese, but croutons offer a way to add a little crunch. He’s adamant about his crouton preparation though. No toasting squares of bread in the oven. “That just dries out the bread and gives you something like a rock. Melt butter in a skillet and toast your croutons until the surfaces are golden.” One more tip for crouton making – no little cubes. Just tear small pieces of bread from the loaf for irregular pieces with lots of craggy surfaces to soak up butter and provide a satisfying crunch.
Laurie and Will Moore are some of my favorite farmers. They started the Freedom Farmers Market along with Charlotte and Wes and are just lovely, lovely people.
They published this recipe in their weekly e-newsletter today and I am sharing with you exactly as they wrote it: (And a note – if the delicata peel is a little rougher than you think you want to eat, just use a peeler to remove that part of the peel. The rest will be tender and delicious.)
In a large saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar, radishes and water. Simmer on low for an hour, then use an immersion blender or food processor to finely chop, but not puree. Will keep refrigerated for a month.
Back in July, Adrian Villarreal of Rreal Tacos prepared salt-cooked potatoes. They were amazing and completely crave-worthy. He boiled them in very, very salted water until the water all evaporated. Which left a saucepan that would only be good for salt-cooking potatoes in the future (a thick salt crust that didn’t appear to be coming loose any time soon).
This recipe from “The Improvisational Cook” by Sally Schneider will save your cookware but give you similar results with very little trouble. Pick up a box of kosher salt and try it. Mix up a little sour cream with chives and serve alongside.
A recipe that tastes more decadent than it really is. And the slow cooker means you don’t have to pay attention while it cooks. Even people who say they don’t like greens like this dish. I have no idea where it came from.
