Recipes
Mediterranean Pepper Salad
from The Smitten Kitchen website
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup cold water
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 a red onion, cut into a 1/2-inch dice (use less if your onion is huge)
3 bell peppers, your choice of colors (I used one red, orange and yellow)
1 cucumber,
1/4-pound firm feta cheese
1/4 to 1/2 cup pitted kalmata olives
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Swish together the red wine vinegar, water, kosher salt and sugar in a small bowl until the salt and sugar are dissolved. Add the red onion and set it aside.
Meanwhile, time to practice your knife skills. Core and seed your bell peppers and chop them into 1/2-inch pieces. Chop the cucumber and feta into similarly-sized chunks. Put your peppers, cucumber, feta and olives in a large bowl.
By now, your onions will have lightly pickled, both sweetening and softening their blow. Drain them and add them to the other vegetables in the large bowl, but reserve the vinegar mixture. Pour a quarter cup of the vinegar mixture over the salad, then drizzle with olive oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper, or to taste. Toss evenly and serve at once, or let the flavors muddle together in the fridge for a few hours.
Market News
Hello!
We hope you are all enjoying something of a break on this Labor Day weekend. Both John and Tally were able to get away this weekend with their families for some much appreciated vacation time.
ONce again, we find ourselves in a new month and it is hard to know where the time went! Summer will linger on a while longer, but the crops will slowly but surely start transitioning to Fall. This week we have the return of some of our first greens. It is good to have them back! The tomatoes have played out for the year, but now is the time for peppers ! Colorful sweet peppers are in abundance this time of year, and can be roasted and stored in the freezer. We also have winter squashes coming in . Still plenty of basil if you still need to put up some pesto!
This month, be sure to mark your calendars for The Southern Artisan Cheese Fest on Saturday, September 27th! This festival is put on by our very own Kathleen Cotter who owns The Bloomy Rind Cheese Shop. Tickets for the 4th Annual Southern Artisan Cheese Festival are on sale now!
