Recipes


Fennel and Kohlrabi Salad with Lemon Caper Dressing
Food Stories Blog

Ingredients

1 medium kohlrabi
1 medium fennel bulb
1 bunch of arugula
1 large handful of capers
The juice of 1 large lemon plus more for crisping the fennel
Black pepper
Sea salt
1 heaped teaspoon of wholegrain mustard
Extra virgin olive oil

1. Slice the fennel as thinly as you can and add to a bowl of cold water and lemon juice. Slice the kohlrabi and then pare strips off each slice with a vegetable peeler. Add to the bowl with the fennel.

2. In another small bowl, crush the garlic with a generous pinch of sea salt in a pestle and mortar. Or, just crush with the back of a large knife. Add some black pepper and a heaped teaspoon of whole grain mustard. Stir together. Add the juice of 1 lemon, the capers and twice the amount of olive oil. Whisk to emulsify.

3. Drain the water from the fennel and kohlrabi and place with the arugula in a bowl. Add the dressing to lightly coat. You may have some extra dressing. This can be kept in the refrigerator covered for a few days..

Market News


Hello!
We hope you are enjoying this lovely change of season!
We have a BIG week of veggies for you this week – lots and lots of good stuff to choose from! Greens of all kinds – cooking greens, Asian greens, lettuces for salad! And some fun new items as well for roasting, sautéing or eating raw. There is so much bounty and diversity this time of year, we hardly even miss the tomatoes!
The basil was bit in last night’s frost so is done for the season. We have some other nice cool weather herbs to cook with. The rest of the crops are doing great, and will just grow sweeter as it turns colder.

All the vendors are back in the swing this week, so please enjoy the offerings of Twin Forks Farm, The Bloomy Rind, Dozen Bakery, and our eggs and meats from Wedge Oak and Bear Creek.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and make sure you order a turkey!
Wedge Oak Farm has made their Thanksgiving turkeys available for pre order. These sold out last year, so get your order in early! These turkey’s will be frozen, and you will have a few options for picking them up. Thanksgiving will be on November 28th, and we will be delivering on Tuesday November 26th. You will be able to pick up your turkey on Wednesday, Nov. 20th or Tuesday the 26th. After you place your deposit for the turkey, Karen from Wedge Oak Farm will contact you with available sizes and more information.

Also this year, Dozen Bakery will have pre order pies for Thanksgiving – pumpkin and apple gallete!
The Bloomy Rind will also be offering cheese trays for entertaining.

Please remember we move up under the porch at the church if it looks like rain. The forecast is iffy for Wednesday. We are so grateful to the Trinity Church community for letting us use this space!

Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you !

John and Tallahassee
