CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET | MARKET MORSELS http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org Summer is spicy at CCFM | Week of July 8, 2013 ******************************************************************************** FRESH & LOCAL We 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, sauteed 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 SPECIAL Red 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! http://www.redgravycafe.com/ ******************************************************************************** RECIPE OF THE WEEK The market's bursting at the seams right now with Creole tomatoes. Pick up a mess of them (plus zucchini, leeks, goat cheese and fresh herbs - all available at the CCFM) for this elegant Tomato, Zucchini and Leek Galette with Roasted Garlic Goat Cheese, a recipe featured in Emeril Lagasse's cookbook, Farm to Fork: Cooking Local, Cooking Fresh. http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=recipe-of-the-week ******************************************************************************** UPTOWN 200 Broadway Street near the River Tuesday July 9 | 9 am - 1 pm MID-CITY 3700 Orleans Avenue near the Bayou Thursday July 11 | 3 pm - 7 pm DOWNTOWN 700 Magazine Street at Girod Street Saturday July 13 | 8 am - noon ******************************************************************************** MARKETMATCH http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=market-match PURCHASE OPTIONS AT THE MARKET http://www.crescentcityfarmersmarket.org/index.php?page=purchase-options SUPPORT THE CRESCENT CITY FARMERS MARKET "http://www.marketumbrella.org/market/support_us.html MARKETUMBRELLA.ORG http://www.marketumbrella.org ******************************************************************************** LIKE US ON FACEBOOK http://www.facebook.com/pages/Crescent-City-Farmers-Market/12780011170 FOLLOW US ON TWITTER https://twitter.com/ccfmtweets TAKE A LOOK ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/crescentcityfarmersmkt
