sunday farm market watch: 1 may 2005

Filed under: ingredients, recipes — Rudi @ during a late-night fridge raid

Today’s Dupont Circle Freshfarm market brought some fun new things to our kitchen:

  • morels (one of my favorite wild mushrooms - learn about ‘em here)
  • ramps (a wild leek, which is a local delicacy)
  • strawberries (first of the season - yum!)
  • blueberry scones
  • red beets
  • 2% organic milk
  • lilacs (not for eating)

We still have a lot of stuff from last week’s market (including purple asparagus, spring onions, pea shoots and beautiful lettuce), so a lot of good cooking lies ahead.

Any suggestions for recipes?

  1. Alexis has been on a strawberry kick for a few weeks now, as the local stores have become flooded with big, fresh berries. Her favorite thing to do? Slice up a bunch of berries, drop them on top of a hunk of angel food cake, and cover the whole thing with fresh whipped cream made with Splenda instead of sugar. On Saturday, she even skipped the cake part, and just chowed on berries & Splenda-riffic cream. It’s slightly healthier than regular whip, and it tastes just as good.
