Cucumber Peanut Salad
A really delicious and refreshing Indian inspired side dish
_You can prep all the components ahead of time, but don’t toss the salad until just before serving. If you do the peanuts will lose their crunch because the cucumbers give off a good amount of water. _
3 medium cucumbers, partially peeled 1-2 green serrano chiles, stemmed and minced 1/2 cup peanuts, toasted 1/3 cup dried large-flake coconut, toasted 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 teaspoon natural cane sugar 1 tablespoon, ghee, clarified butter, or sunflower oil 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds 1/4 teaspoon cumin seeds scant 1/2 teaspoon fine grain sea salt a handful cilantro, choppedHalve the cucumbers lengthwise, scrape out the seeds, and chop into pieces roughly the size of pencil erasers. Just before you’re ready to serve, transfer to a mixing bowl and toss gently with chiles, peanuts, coconut, lemon juice, and sugar.
Over medium heat melt the ghee or oil in a small skillet. When hot stir in the mustard seeds. They are going to sputter and spit a bit, and when this starts to happen, add the cumin for 15-30 seconds, just long enough to toast the spices. Cover with a lid if needed. Remove from heat, stir in the salt, and immediately stir this into the salad. Turn out onto a patter topped with the cilantro.
Serves 4.
Market News
Hello!
The bounty of summer is officially here, along with the first stretch of heat and humidity! Although, relatively, it really hasn’t been that bad out there. As long as we keep getting a regular rain, the crops seem to be transitioning into higher temps quite nicely.
The wonderful fruits of summer are here and will continue to roll in – the first tomatoes! cucumbers! eggplant! peaches! Along with all that we still have some nice diversity of late spring crop leftovers – beets, lettuces, carrots and greens. So much good stuff to choose from! The eating right now sure is good!
Back with us at Trinity delivery is The Peach Truck! It was sure a big hit having them as our neighbors, and we hope you are pleased to have the access to such wonderful peaches responsibly grown on a Georgian family farm.
The Peach Truck will be at Trinity from 4-6 on Wednesday. The peaches will not be sold through pre-order on the website. All sales will be directly through The Peach Truck. They will be sold by the pound or by the box and there will be plenty.
Please read for yourself about the Pearson farm on their website, thepeachtruck.com, and take the time to talk to the folks at the truck on Wednesday. They are more than happy to talk about their growing practices and their peaches!
The peaches are sold as follows 3 lb bag is $7 or two bags for $12. A 25 lb box is $38.
IF YOUR PICK UP IS ON THE FARM OR AT WESTHAVEN, please leave us your peach order in the comment section of your order. We will have them for you on Thursday.
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
