Tempura String Beans w/ Aioli

by Jerome Farmers Market, May 30, 2014

We are hard at work here as we prepare for the upcoming Farmers Market!!!

To get you excited for the Farmers Market, we are going to post recipes and /or gardening tips every day leading up to the market opening.

SUSHISAMBA on Instagram: “Have you tried our Green Bean Tempura served with black truffle aioli? #newyork #london #coralgables #miami … | Green beans, Tempura, Food

Tempura String Beans with Aioli

1 cup (8 oz.) ice water

1 large egg, beaten

3/4 cup flour (plus extra for dusting)

2 or 3 ice cubes

peanut or vegetable oil

1 lb green beans

salt

In a bowl whisk together the ice, water and egg. Whisk in flour, the batter should be very lumpy. Add the ice cubes.

Pour enough oil into a wok or deep fryer to reach halfway up the sides and heat to 350 degrees. Working in batches, lightly dust the beans with flour, then dip in the batter, shaking off the excess. Fry stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Drain on paper towel and season with sea salt.

Aioli Dip:

2 medium garlic cloves
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 large egg
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt

Place the garlic, mustard, and egg in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a blade attachment. Process until evenly combined, about 10 seconds.

With the motor running, slowly add the olive oil in a thin stream, followed by the vegetable oil, until completely combined, about 2 minutes. Stop the processor, add the lemon juice, season with salt, and pulse until thoroughly mixed and evenly incorporated. Let sit for at least 30 minutes before using. Refrigerate, it's best if you can let sit in your refrigerator for a few days, but you may take it out after a couple of hours.

2 days until the Harvest Festival! 2014

by Jerome Farmers Market, October 09, 2013

There are only 2 days left until this years Harvest Festival at the Crossroads Point Farmers Market in Jerome, ID! Last year was our very first year and it was a blast (no pun intended due to the high winds).

Kids enjoyed the bouncy houses and giant pumpkin pyramid and parents enjoyed all the handmade goods sold by the local vendors.

Our Market's director Kathy Bartholomew wore her gorgeous velvet witches cape with a bejeweled spider hanging from her hat.

Pumpkins of all shapes and sizes were displayed. There was even one that talked and had cool pumpkin sunglasses.

some of the delicious and pretty things made by our vendors last year.

We will also have our pumpkin pyramid and our 5 foot life-like pumpkin for display.

This year we are adding the gorgeous and realistic looking giant rooster and the chicken wrangler to pose by for pictures.

So wear your costumes, come on down for LOTS of fun, food, entertainment and games for everyone!
