Summer is spicy at CCFM | Week of July 8, 2013 |
Fresh & LocalWe hope everyone had a great Independence Day holiday. With summer comes the onset of New Orleans rain, but that doesn’t keep our markets down! To be sure everyone has access to fresh, healthy foods no matter what the weather, all of our markets are rain or shine. On rainy Saturdays, find us indoors in the adjacent parking garage for dry market shopping. Thanks as always for your support in good weather and bad! |

Pick of the Week: Shishito peppers!We are crazy about Shishito Peppers! These small, thin-skinned Japanese peppers are the new hot item on restaurant menus and thanks to Vintage Garden Farms, you can have them on your table. While shishito peppers are generally sweet, one in ten packs a spicy punch. Shishitos are perfect grilled, sautéed in oil, and heaped in a bowl as a starter. We also love them over rice with a fried egg for a kickin’ breakfast. One shishito has 20 calories, 80% of the daily value for vitamin A and 170% of the daily value for vitamin C. |
Tuesday’s Green Plate SpecialRed Gravy certainly wowed us with last weeks lunch, and this week looks to be no different. Stop by for your choice of a bruschetta plate of crostini, meatballs and fresh mozzarella; eggplant rolatini; or assorted frittatas. For dessert, they bring out the summer camping favorite- s’mores! |
