Recipes

Cilantro Salad
From 101Cookbooks.com

1 cup sunflower oil
1 cup evenly sliced shallots, ~20 small

6 ounces asparagus spears, very thinly sliced
1 bunch of cilantro with stems

1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 cup peanuts, well-toasted, then cooled
1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

to serve: herb flowers (garlic chive flowers, chive flowers, etc), optional

Start by making the shallot oil, you can do this up to a few days in advance. Place the oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan or wok, over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot (a “test” shallot should bubble immediately), dial back the heat to medium, sprinkle in the shallots, and cook slowly until they are deeply golden, 15 – 20 minutes. Remove from heat, strain the oil off into a jar, and set aside. Place the shallots on a paper towel and allow them to cool and crisp.

In the meantime, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil, salt generously, and cook the asparagus for just 15 seconds or so, until bright. Drain, and quickly transfer to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again, and set aside.

Trim any tough stems from the cilantro, and give it a good wash. Dry completely.

Just before you’re ready to serve the salad, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, sea salt, and two tablespoons of the shallot oil. Place the cilantro, peanuts, asparagus, and sesame seeds in a large bowl. Drizzle the soy dressing over, and give a gently but thorough toss. The peanuts and asparagus like to find their way to the bottom, so be sure to scoop them back on top before serving with some of the reserved crisped shallots, and a few herb flowers on top (if you have them).

Serves 6.

Hello!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mother’s out there! Hope everyone had a wonderful day celebrating those that you love.
The email is a bit late this evening due to the beautiful day and late sunset! It was a lovely afternoon to get some transplanting done, before the next round of rains come this week.

We have a great selection this week of spring veggies, strawberries and flowers! The strawberries are in but won’t last long! We hope you are getting plenty and stocking up for winter.

We also have plants this week! A selection of tomato and basil varieties is available. All of these plants are grown organically, starting with non GMO seed and organic potting mix. They are sure to be a great addition to your garden!

Just a reminder that you can find the strawberries under the “Fruits” section of the Market page, and the tomato and basil starts under the “Herb, Vegetable, and Flower Plants” page.

We look forward to seeing you on Wednesday! Thank you so much for all your support!

Rhubarb-Strawberry Pudding Cake
(adapted from Gourmet, April 2007)
From Nancyvienneau.com Good Food Matters
¼ cup water
1 ½ teaspoons cornstarch
1/3 and ½ cups sugar
3 cups chopped fruit (I prefer 2 cups chopped rhubarb, 1 cup strawberries, – or all strawberries –
any variation you choose)
1 cup all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 large egg
½ cup milk
1 stick butter melted and slightly cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and put oven rack in the middle position. Butter an 8×8 ceramic or glass baking pan. Stir together the water, cornstarch, and 1/3 cup sugar in a saucepan and heat. Stir in the rhubarb, if you are using it, but not the strawberries. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about three minutes. Remove from heat and add the strawberries.

Whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder, salt, and the remaining ½ cup sugar. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: egg, milk, butter, vanilla.

Now add the dry ingredients to the wet, and stir in until well combined. Do not overbeat.

Coat the bottom of the baking pan with ½ of the fruit mixture. Spread the batter over that, then dollop the remaining fruit mixture on the top. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, it’s done!

Allow to cool on a rack for at least 5 minutes before serving. This can be served warm or served later at room temperature. Wrap and refrigerate leftovers, if there are any.

Makes 8-10 servings.

We will be continuing our every other week delivery schedule through April, until the first strawberries appear. Please keep this in mind as you order, and stock up on eggs, frozen items, and good greens!

We have a lot of lettuce this week, so think delicious salads for lunch and dinner!

The Bloomy Rind Cheese shop has a great selection of items this week! The sheep’s milk butter is a great treat to try on some Dozen Bakery fresh baked bread, along with some yummy radishes and a sprinkling of salt!~

What are us farmers doing with all this time off?! Spring planting is heavy upon us. It’s time to plant potatoes, onions, and other cool season crops. We hope the ground dries out long enough for us to prep the dirt for these things! And seeding of all the summer crops is happening now- tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant are all starting off now, and we hope there are no surprise late spring freezes. Lots of weeding happening now as well in the strawberry and garlic patch.

We have a new policy regarding egg cartons.
