Recipes
Sweet Potato Tian
adapted from customer Teresa Blackburn’s blog"Foodonfifth.com"
Ingredients:
4 sweet potatoes
2 large or 4 small shallots sliced
1/4 cup good olive oil
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded white Cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded Gruyere cheese
fresh or dried thyme leaves
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Wash and pat dry the sweet potatoes. Peel using a vegetable peeler and trim ends flat. Slice each into “coins” about 1/4 inch thick.
Toss sweet potato slices in a large bowl with the olive oil, salt & pepper until well coated.
In a “tian” (shallow earthenware casserole dish) scatter sliced shallots over the bottom and then the slices of sweet potatoes until the dish is filled.
Scatter thyme leaves over all. Cover dish with a sheet of foil.
Bake for 20 minutes covered. Uncover & sprinkle Cheddar & Gruyere over the top.
Return to the oven, raising the temp to 400 degrees. Bake for about 20-30 more minutes until the potatoes are “knife” tender and the cheeses are melted and just a bit bubbly. Serve immediately or set aside and cover loosely with foil for up to 30 minutes.
Market News
Hello!
The holiday season is officially upon us, as this week marks the beginning of Hanukkah. We wish everyone a wonderful Festival of Lights!
This will be our last delivery before the New Year. We will be off Wednesday December 24th and Wednesday December 31st. We plan on starting up again the following week, so look out for an email on January 4th announcing delivery for Wednesday January 7th. We assume weather will cooperate, but who knows?
Please stock up this week in anticipation of our 2 weeks off. Now is the time to buy your main course meats for Holiday dinners! The eggs, cheese, root veggies and sweet potatoes, and even some of the greens, will last a good while. The pumpkin-cranberry loaf from Dozen Bakery freezes well, and would be a great addition to Christmas week.
We have GREAT items available for gift giving, including Fresh Harvest Gift Certificates! They are up on the Market page this week. We also have back with us soap and lip balm from Little Seed Farm. Other great gift items are Barrel-Aged Honey from Tru Bee Honey, and Country Faire English Toffee. The Bloomy Rind has an AMAZING selection of cheeses available, and who would not like some cheese?!
If we don’t see you on Wednesday, we wish you a very Merry Holiday Season. May your coming days be filled with much love and joy! And best wishes to all of us for a healthy and peace – full New Year ahead.
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
