A Good Dish

making food simpler

Need Inspiration for Summer Meals? Just Stroll Your Local Farmers Market

August 16, 2017

 

Multi-colored tomatoes from Amati Farm at the 97th St Greenmarket                                      Gazpacho anyone?

When you just don’t know what to make for dinner, head out to your local greenmarket. Farms are producing at their peak in much of the country right now and all that bounty is just waiting for you to bring it home.

Sweet corn begging to be steamed  
A wall of radishes waiting for you to saute them or make them into a salad  
Eastern artichokes are delicious sautéed or steamed with a thickened vinaigrette
Wouldn’t these 2 colors of carrots make a beautiful salad?
Hot peppers have different heats and flavors
Purple and green beans from J & A Farm – just steam lightly and munch away!
