Farmers Market Fare 13
I was thinking, last hot July Saturday, as we were stuck like sardines in the farmers market, that maybe this whole local food thing is catching on. Maybe, I thought, I don’t need to promote it so much. Well, maybe. The demand has to grow if the supply is going to. Next season, the farmers will be able to plant more, perhaps the market will expand.
The vegetables, like the people, were crowded. Tables loaded with all the abundance of summer. I brought home more than I may be able to get cooked. It all just looks so good. I stuffed my market basket full with summer melon, peaches, blueberries (lots), blackberries (even more), peppers, heirloom tomatoes, onions, beets, carrots, corn. I paused at the daikon radishes and some other unusual items. I love to buy the unique veggies because it ensures that the farmers will keep growing new things.
Caprese Salad is the first dish I prepare with heirloom tomatoes. Recipe and links after the jump.
This is one of those recipes that isn’t really a recipe at all, just some instructions.
