Just a quick update to let you know that the Dallas Farmers Market staff was trying out signs that local farmers could post stating, "I grew these onions," or "I raised these chickens." Plus, there was a sandwich sign clearly marking the direction to the farmers. Yea! Also spotted: the first few local peaches (at the Lemleys, hard, must be ripened), green plums, squash (including the quirky-looking eight-ball), and blackberries. Also, a lot coming in from South Texas, like peas. I'm still working spring onions, which are so abundant right now. Yesterday, I got some herbed-whole-wheat pasta from Pastabilities, then sauced it with one of Gnismer's microwaved onions (method detailed here), mooshed up and cooked a bit longer with some olive oil to further caramelize, salt and Parmesan. The onion turned sweet and gooey, contasting nicely with the saltiness, and al dente bite of the pasta. I suppose you could throw in some balsalmic vinegar, but you don't need it. Sided the whole afair with a sweet cantaloupe from one of the dealers under Shed No. 1. Hey, his lemons were four for a dollar. Can't beat that. |
