What I bought at the Farmer's Market.
When I can remember, and if I make the time, I'll swing by the Farmer's Market at the Ferry Building on Tuesdays. It's close to the office, and it's good to push away from the desk from time to time.
You'd think I'd know better than to shop on an empty stomach; the only thing I'd ingested all day was a Very Large Coffee with a shot of espresso and a squirt of vanilla syrup.
Self-induced hypoglycemia aside, I made out pretty well:
- a pint of Tayberries (raspberry/blackberry hybrid)
- a pound of smelt
- large bag of salad greens
- four Pluots (apricot/plum hybrid)
- three lemon cucumbers
- one Meyer lemon
- one red onion
I'll braise the greens for use as a bed for the smelt, which will be lightly sauteed with garlic, s&p and olive oil. Then, I'll add some sliced cukes and onion before squeezing a lemon over the whole magilla.
Berries and stone fruit for dessert. Assuming this comes together as planned, I'll post a photo.
