Grilled Escarole
Give escarole a try this week! It is a delicious, versatile green in the chicory family, good for cooking, soups, and salads! Here is a delicious and easy way to have some fun with it. Plus, the heads are really large so this recipe works great!
INGREDIENTS
1 head escarole, outer leaves removed and saved, thoroughly washed
Extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt
1/2 cup pitted, crushed green olives
PREPARATION
Get your grill going to a medium heat.
Shake the escarole dry. Cut it lengthwise straight through the core into 4 wedges. Drizzle each wedge with plenty of olive oil, about 1 1/2 tablespoons per wedge, and season aggressively with salt. Grill the wedges, turning only once, until wilted and charred in spots, about 10 minutes altogether.
Transfer the escarole to a serving platter, give it a healthy drizzle of olive oil, and scatter the olives over the top. Serve immediately.

Market News
Hello!
This week switches to daylight savings time! And although it is a bit strange, as the weather is still so lovely, it means we will be moving our deliveries up under the porch at Trinity Church. The main reason is that it is a well lit area, and as it will now be getting dark about 5:00, we appreciate the light filled space! Much thanks to Trinity Church for allowing us to do this over the years. Without their support we could not do what we do! So, on Wednesday don’t think we have gone on vacation. Continue your drive up the hill and you will see us under the porch as the drive veers to the left.
Peanuts! We’ve got them! And they are organically grown right here in Middle Tennessee – what a special treat! Did you know that peanuts are among the most carcinogenic and pesticide-contaminated of any snack we commonly eat, due to heavy applications of chemicals in conventional growing practices. These peanuts are cured but not roasted. That is up for you to decide if you prefer that taste or not! Perhaps you’d like to make your own healthy peanut butter!
The Bloomy Rind is back with us this week! Yahoo! Make sure you check out the fabulous selection of cheese!
Also, we will have available at pick up Thanksgiving pre-order menus from Dozen Bakery. They are offering pies, breads, and salads for you to pre-order and pick up before the holiday.
Bear Creek Farm has on Special their lamb and tenderloin for you folks who want to order a meat other than turkey for Thanksgiving!
There is a new product up – dried herbal tea from herbs grown on Tally’s Turnbull Creek Farm.
Thank you so much for all your support!
See you Wednesday!
