Who's coming to Market this week? Shlagel Farms!

Shlagel Farms will have all sorts of wonderful high summer vegetables and fruits this week, enough to plan meals for quite awhile! This is the time to cook early in the day and enjoy cold or room temperature meals at night (or even cook only once or twice a week and really enjoy a break form a hot kitchen!) This may even be the week to go raw!
This week, Shlagel will have eggplant, grape tomatoes, green peppers, red peppers, a variety of
hot peppers (wonderful for salsa!), yellow squash, zucchini, yellow zucchini, green beans, red tomatoes, low-acid yellow tomatoes, green tomatoes (for frying), roma tomatoes (great for sauce), kale, collards, sweet white corn, cucumbers and small red potatoes. They'll also have red seedless , juicy peaches, blackberries and a limited supply of raspberries. And of course, plenty of the tasty cider that many of you are hooked on! Here's a super-simple recipe from Ellen Shlagel. It's exactly the kind of food we all want to eat in August: simple and delicious!
Shlagel's Fiesta Corn
Shuck the sweet corn and remove the kernels with a knife. Saute them in a small amount of bacon drippings or olive oil along with diced onion, red pepper and jalapeno peppers to taste. When corn has slightly browned and all are tender remove from heat and add diced red and yellow tomatoes. This is not only yummy, but makes a beautiful dish! Why not try some Fiesta Corn wrapped up in a Moctec chipotle wrap with some gently scrambled Clan Stewart Eggs? A sliced tomato on the side, maybe a little Eve's Cheddar on top... you have a great Sunday brunch right there!
See you Saturday at the Market!
