*NEW* PRODUCTS THIS WEEK:

Brussels Sprouts – well, we actually had these last week, but we sold out early so many of you didn’t get the chance to try this tasty yet under-appreciated vegetable from Dalew Farms! See recipe below.

RECIPE CORNER

These are my two “no fail” recipes for Brussels sprouts. They’ve converted several confirmed sprout-haters.



Brussels Sprouts with Garlic and Lemon:

- 2 Tbsp butter (or more!)

- 1 Tbsp oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 stalk Brussels sprouts

- Juice from ½ a lemon

- Salt and Pepper (to taste)

Remove Brussels sprouts from stalk with a knife and cut in half (unless they are tiny). Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan or wok on medium heat. Don’t skimp on the butter – that’s what makes these sprouts so tasty! Add garlic and sauté for 2 min. Add sprouts to pan and sauté until tender (but not soft) and browned. Add lemon juice, salt and pepper and stir to coat. Cook for 1 min or until all liquid is absorbed. Serve hot.



Brussels Sprouts with Bacon:

- 2-4 slices of bacon, chopped

- 1 small onion, chopped

- 1 stalk Brussels sprouts

- 2-3 Tbsp red wine vinegar (or to taste)

- Salt and pepper (to taste)

Remove Brussels sprouts from stalk with a knife and cut in half (unless they are tiny). Saute chopped bacon in a frying pan or wok over medium heat for about 2 min, then add chopped onion and sauté until both onion and bacon are brown. Remove onion and bacon from pan, and pour off all but 1-2 Tbsp bacon fat. Add Brussels sprouts and sauté in remaining bacon grease until tender (but not soft) and browned. Add onion and bacon back to the pan, and add vinegar, salt and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until all liquid is absorbed. Enjoy!



The following recipe is from www.allrecipes.com:



Baked Fennel with Parmesan:

- 2 fennel bulbs

- 1 Tbsp butter

- ¾ cup half and half cream

- ¾ cup crème fraiche (or good quality, full fat sour cream)

- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400F. Remove “foliage” and stems from fennel, cut off the base, and remove the core (whiter part) if desired. Slice vertically (upright) into ¼ inch slices. Melt butter in large skillet over medium heat. Add fennel and fry for 5 min. Add cream and crème fraiche and stir until well-blended. Transfer to shallow baking dish and sprinkle parmesan on top. Bake for 30 min until top is brown and fennel is tender when pierced with a fork. Enjoy!
