Recipes

Grilled Panzanella Salad
Serves 4

1 loaf bakery-style bread such as French or Italian
extra-virgin olive oil
2 beefsteak tomatoes
1 cucumber
½ red onion
½ cup ciligene mozzarella (small balls)
Lemon Vinaigrette
1 bunch basil

Preheat the grill to high. Cut four ¾-inch thick slices of bread and brush each side with olive oil. Grill for 1-2 minutes a side, until each side has nice grill marks. Transfer to a cooling rack.

Cut the tomatoes into big, irregular-shaped chunks. Peel cucumber, if desired, and cut into similar shapes. Finely dice the red onion and place in a large bowl with the tomatoes, cucumber and mozzarella. Drizzle in the lemon vinaigrette until everything is nicely coated. Tear basil leaves from their stems (leaving the leaf intact) directly into bowl.

Cut the grilled bread into cubes and add to the bowl. Toss to combine and serve.

Lemon Vinaigrette
Yield = 1 cup

¼ cup finely chopped shallots
¼ cup lemon juice
½ tsp. kosher salt
¼ tsp. sugar
freshly ground black pepper to taste
½ cup extra-virgin olive oil

Whisk shallots, lemon juice, salt, sugar and pepper. Slowly drizzle in the oil and whisk until emulsified. Transfer to a jar and refrigerate until ready to use.

Market News

Hello!

This wet, cool weather has been strange, although it is nice to get a short break from the heat in the middle of summer. It has certainly been a generally tolerable summer so far, although who knows what August has in store for us!

Lots of mid summer produce for you this week, although we are in between squash plantings right now. We should have more of that in the coming weeks.

Little Seed Farm has posted some new products on the market. They make some wonderful skin care products in addition to their soaps, with some ingredients grown and gathered right on their farm. PLease check out their stuff, as it is of wonderful quality and we are sure you will be pleased with it!

This week we have local, organically grown berries for you! We will be offering blueberries from Blue Honey Farm in Eagleville, Tn. These are unsprayed, organically grown blueberries. You can read more about their farm on the “Our Grower’s” Page of the website, and contact them directly with any questions. We will continue to have their berries in the weeks ahead!

Please remember you can read information about all of our growers and producers on the “Our Growers” page. We want you to know and love all of the Fresh Harvest vendors, just as we do. Most of them we have worked with for many years and we value their friendships as well as are proud to be able to offer you their products.

Once again, thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
