COUNTRY FAIR NEWS
October 20th is the Hastings Farmers' Market Country Fair! There is a lot to look forward to including our first ever upcycled t-shirt exhibition! If you are a DIYer, have sewing skills, or are even remotely creative with scissors, we are calling on you to use one of our vintage Market shirts and make something interesting. You could make an apron like this one by Mindy Farkas and modeled by Eenie Bernard. Or cut it up to make a more attractive tee. Or do something we haven't even imagined! We will show off and auction the creations at the Country Fair with proceeds benefiting Hastings High School's Culture Shock club.
Stop by the Market tent on Saturday 10/6 or 10/13 to pick up a shirt. Can't make it to the Market? Email us to coordinate a different pick up time.
DINNER THIS WEEK
Have you seen those purple radishes at Sun Sprout? They're gorgeous! Pick some up and make this roasted radish recipe from Epicurious. Serve over polenta or alongside a grilled steak from FarmEats.
Ingredients
2 bunches of medium purple radishes from Sun Sprout
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil from Kontoulis Family Olive Oil
Coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) unsalted butter from Southtown Farms
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
Preheat oven to 450°F. Brush large heavy-duty rimmed baking sheet with olive oil. Cut off all but 1/2 inch of green radish tops; reserve trimmed tops and rinse them well, checking for grit. Coarsely chop radish tops and set aside. Cut radishes lengthwise in half and place in medium bowl. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil and toss thoroughly to coat. Place radishes, cut side down, on prepared baking sheet; sprinkle lightly with coarse salt. Roast until radishes are crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. Season to taste with more coarse kosher salt, if desired.
Melt butter in heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Add pinch of coarse kosher salt to skillet and cook until butter browns, swirling skillet frequently to keep butter solids from burning, about 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice.
Transfer roasted radishes to warmed shallow serving bowl and drizzle brown butter over. Sprinkle with chopped radish tops and serve.
