The culminating bounty of Summer has come and past. Lauri, Jeni and I completed our 2nd annual Farm Market Dinner. It took a few weeks to post this due to computer internet issues(thanks Charter for making us think it was our computer when the end result was your faulty equipment). We love this dinner because where the growing season takes us. We start with fresh herbs, asparagus and Strawberries in the spring. Then the season takes us to raspberries, blackberries, peas, carrots and lettuce. Finally the ultimate end to summer finishing with squash, beans, corn, tomatoes and melons, to name a few. Below, you can witness what we enjoy about fresh produce.
Laurie's beautiful table to accent the bounty we are about to enjoy.
Fresh gazpacho. Chunky vegetables and an overnight flavor mingling that really hit the taste buds. Great start to the evening.
Deep fried squash and eggplant with a nice panko bread coating. Very good indeed.
Chorizo hash baked in a small cast iron skillet. Chorizo, fresh chicken egg, dill, potato and pickling spice.
Smoked shredded pork but with Peach BBQ Sauce and an awesome succotash.
The end of our dinner. Blueberry pie with watermelon sorbet. Yum, all the way around.Every dish was fresh, light and tasty. If you get a chance, start getting together with some friends and make up some tasty super fresh food from your local farmers market.
