The Tuesday Market comes to an end...


Thank you....

to all Vendors, Musicians, Volunteers and Patrons of the
Tuesday Market in Lauraville!

You have made the market a nice place for friends & neighbors
to gather each Tuesday evening.

The market ends abruptly, thanks to
Hurricane Sandy.
But, plans for the next season are already under way.
Please stay tuned for details as they develop
in early spring, 2013.




Congratulations~
to Rebekah Kuk
on the birth of her daughter,
Evelyn Joy!


Rebekah, from Rising Up Bakery, will join us again for
the 2013 season of the Tuesday Market in Lauraville.



All the best for a healthy & happy winter season!

Only 2 markets left!

 The leaves are changing, the air is cooler, the sun sets a little sooner,
but there is still time to enjoy the fall harvest.
Apples, squash, turnips, greens, onions, potatoes, pumpkins...






Mashed Potatoes & Turnips with Greens
:  Winter 2004

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 medium russet potatoes (2 pounds), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3-4 medium turnips (1 pound), peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 sprig fresh thyme or 1/4 teaspoon dried
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese or aged goat cheese (1 ounce), optional
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • 2 large onions, cut in half and sliced about 1/4 inch thick
  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe (1 pound), stems trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces



PREPARATION

  1. Place potatoes, turnips and thyme in a large pot. Cover with lightly salted water and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, over medium-high heat, until the vegetables are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, reserving the cooking liquid. Place the potatoes and turnips in a large bowl; discard thyme sprig, if using. Mash with a potato masher, adding a little cooking water, if needed, to achieve the desired consistency. Stir in 2 teaspoons oil and cheese, if using. Season with salt and pepper. To keep warm, set the bowl over simmering water and cover with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 teaspoons oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring often, until golden and very tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add broccoli rabe and cook until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain and add to the onions; toss to mix.
  4. To serve, mound the mashed vegetables in a bowl or onto individual plates and top with the onions and broccoli rabe.

Egg Plant from Zahradka's Farm

Egg Plant Parmesan

healthy eating - low fat recipe

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 eggplants, (about 2 pounds total)
  • 3 egg whites
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup fine dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, (1 ounce), divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves
  • 2 1/2 cups tomato sauce
  • 3/4 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese, (3 ounces)

PREPARATION

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat two baking sheets and an 8-by-11 1/2-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Cut eggplants crosswise into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Whisk egg whites and water in a shallow dish until frothy. Combine breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, salt and pepper in another shallow dish. Dip the eggplant slices into the egg-white mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. (Discard any leftover breadcrumbs and egg white.) Arrange the eggplant slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the eggplant slices over, and bake until crisp and golden, about 15 minutes longer.
  3. Stir basil into tomato sauce. Spread about 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange half of the eggplant slices over the sauce, overlapping slightly. Spoon 1 cup of the remaining sauce over the eggplant and sprinkle with half of the mozzarella cheese. Add a layer of the remaining eggplant slices and top with the remaining sauce, mozzarella and Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until the sauce bubbles and the top is golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
