Recipes
*TOMATO TOMATO PAELLA *
adapted from Mark Bittman
from Nancy Vienneau’s blog, Good Food Matters
1 T. Olive Oil
1 T. Butter
1/2 medium Onion, small dice
1 T. minced Garlic
2 t. Paprika
1 T. Tomato Paste
2 c. Water
1/4 c. Red Wine (opt.)
Salt and Black Pepper
1 1/4 c. Arborio Rice
Assorted Heirloom Tomatoes
(about 1 1/2 lbs.) Sliced into wedges
1 9"skillet that is Oven-Safe, like a cast-iron skillet, 2" deep
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Dissolve tomato paste in water. Heat skillet on medium, and add butter and olive oil. Saute onions until translucent, and add minced garlic. Stir in rice and paprika, stirring until the grains are coated. Add water solution and wine, stirring well. Season with a little salt and black pepper.
Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and place tomato wedges in circles around the top. Cover the top well with the wedges. Place uncovered into the oven and bake for 15 minutes.
Tomatoes will brown and caramelize, their juices encasing the rice. Check for rice-doneness–the grain will be firm, but nicely puffed.
Serves 6.
Market News
Hello!
It has been a very hard few weeks due to the heat and drought. Luckily we have good irrigation with well water, so the crops are doing fine. But the farmers have been suffering! Thankfully, it looks like we will have a cooler week with a chance of some rain. It will take quite a good soak to end the severe drought.
Happily, we have lots of good summer produce for you this week. It is peak tomato season, and it is time to eat our fill! Also, the blueberries are really starting to come in now, and we have more to offer you this week. And, for a really big treat, *Dozen Bakery *is offering you, our lovely, prized customers, a Blueberry Gallette this week made with Hidden Springs Orchard organic blueberries! Yum! Claire’s Brown-Sugar Shortcakes also go great with blueberries!
Also, two new great cheeses from The Bloomy Rind Cheese Shop!
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
