Recipes
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Spicy Feta-Olive Salad
Makes 2 servings
From The Wednesday Chef
A very simple meal – and a good cure for the sweet potato blahs….
2 large sweet potatoes
1/2 pound feta cheese, cut into small cubes
2/3 cup black oil-cured olives, pitted and chopped
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 to 2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon za’atar (optional)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Salt to taste
A spoonful of sour cream or yogurt
1. Heat the oven to 375 F. Wash the potatoes to rid them of any dirt and place on a foil-lined baking pan in the oven. Bake until they are completely soft, about 45 to 60 minutes (depending on their size).
2. While the potatoes are roasting, make the salad. Mix together all the salad ingredients in a bowl and set aside to marinate until the potatoes are done (add a little more olive oil if it seems dry).
3. When the potatoes are fully roasted, remove them from the oven and place on plates. Slice each potato lengthwise down the center, folding open to reveal the orange flesh inside. Pile half the feta salad on each potato, season to taste, dollop yogurt or sour cream on top and serve.
Market News
Hello!
The change of time today allowed for a whole extra hour of work getting seeds in the ground before tonight’s rain. That’s how you know spring has officially arrived! It is certainly a stop and go time of year, getting in as much work as possible on the nice dry days.
We have lots of lovely items for you this week – greens for cooking and lettuces and other salad fixings. After this week, we will have two weeks off. Our next delivery will be April 3rd * At that point, we should be able to resume our regular weekly schedule.
If you want meats for Easter dinner, please stock up now!
Turnbull Creek Farm has opened up orders for the Bouquet of the Week special. The price of bouquets will be going up this summer, so now is a good time to get in on a reduced price – this is a treat for current customers only! How it works is that starting in May, the recipient gets 12 weeks of bouquets. Tally is also now planning flowers for weddings and special events, so if you have an event this upcoming season, think locally grown, organic flowers!
Please remember to support our other wonderful vendors. We are so pleased to be able to work with them, and proud to offer you their products.
We really appreciate your support, and look forward to seeing you this Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
