The Farmer's Market Contest

Hi all,

Food world news at the top of the list this week, as Local Harvest, in cooperation with Care 2, is running another contest. They want to know your favorite farmer's market. For more details, see their website:

And for this week's recipe. One of my favorite freezer foods--this goes together fast and it freezes beautifully. Great way to store lots of green beans. Fabulous over pasta as a vegetarian entree or on its own as a side dish.

Roasted Green Beans with Walnuts
by Marta Ferguson

1 lb. green beans, washed and snapped
1/4-1/2 lb. walnuts, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons+ walnut or other oil for drizzling

Preheat oven to 450. Lay beans on high-sided cookie pans (may need two). Sprinkle walnuts over beans. Generously drizzle walnuts and beans with oil. Roast for 5 minutes or until nuts smell good and beans look slightly carmelized. Remove and eat. Serves several adult diners.

In the box?

This week we will have cucumbers, candy onions, zucchini, cabbage, green onions, red leaf romaine, lettuce, collards, oregano.

See you next week!
