Recipes
Not Your Mama’s Cole Slaw
Adapted from Ina Garten
1/2 small head green cabbage
1/2 small head red cabbage
4 large carrots, scrubbed or peeled and shredded
1 cup chopped fresh parsley leaves
2 cups (16 ounces) mayonnaise, low-fat is fine, as is swapping half with yogurt
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) blue cheese (optional)
Prepare the vegetables: Halve the cabbage halves and cut out the cores. Slice the cabbage as thinly as you can with a sharp knife. Alternately, you can use a mandoline to cut the thinnest slivers or use your food processor’s slicing blade (lay the cabbage horizontally in the feed tube) to do the job in just seconds. Transfer chopped cabbage into a large bowl, discarding any very large pieces. Stir in the shredded carrot and parsley, reserving a few tablespoons of parsley for garnish.
Make the dressing: Mix the mayonnaise, mustards, vinegar, celery seed, salt and pepper in a smaller bowl. Stir in blue cheese, if using. Toss the cabbage mixture with dressing to taste
Market News
Hello!
It has been a wet, wet time since we last saw you. The grass and weeds sound downright noisy in their growth, and all the crops seem to have benefitted from some cool, wet weather. This evening is so humid, perhaps it is what being under water would smell like, if you could do such a thing!
There are so many great veggies and other goods for you this week!
We’ve got lots of cabbage for you this week, so think coleslaw as well mixing it in with lettuce salads. Cabbage is one of the healthiest vegetables, and we have a few different varieties this week which are great when mixed together. Try some raw beets, carrots, or kohlrabi in there, too!
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.
We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
