How to cook your fresh veggies & Market recipes!

by Jerome Farmers Market, August 19, 2016
We are so excited for the Market tomorrow. There will be a slew of fresh produce from a number of vendors so we thought we would post about how to cook your wonderfully fresh, organic produce.  There is nothing worse than seeing a beautiful freshly picked veggie go from crisp, delicious and full of flavor to a mushy soggy mess once cooked.  What is the point of fresh veggies if they don't have that wonderful crisp to them? 
So, in order to help you avoid turning these beautiful tasty morsels into mushy flavorless things, here are few tips we found on the internet  on how to cook veggies the right way.  Information provided via onegreenplant.org...


How to Avoid These Common Mistakes While Cooking Vegetables:


Slow-Cooker Creamed Corn

Cantaloupe Strawberry Popsicles

  4. Add the popsicle sticks.

Watermelon Frozen Yogurt Pops

Watermelon Frozen Yogurt Popsicles

Makes 6 popsicles or a small batch of frozen yogurt

-170g/6 oz Plain Chobani Yogurt
-2 cups Seedless Watermelon 
*Optional: pinch of salt (it brings out the sweetness) and/or 1 tbsp of sugar (if your watermelon isn't sweet enough)

Puree the yogurt and watermelon in a food processor or blender until smooth.
If making popsicles: Carefully pour into molds, leaving about 0.5cm room from the top.
If making frozen yogurt: Freeze in your ice cream maker, according to the instructions - serve immediately or freeze for 2-3 hours before serving for a firmer frozen yogurt.

And there you have it - so easy I shouldn't even call it a recipe!
