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?
