Omelets at the Farmer's Market This Week!

Hi all,

A little late with this week's post, but I've got great news from our local Slow Food chapter:

Brook Harlan, a chef instructor at Columbia Area Career Center, will be cooking made-to-order omelets with his students at the Columbia Farmer's Market this week from 8:15 until 11:15.

The fresh ingredients will be from the market farmers, of course. All proceeds benefit the Culinary Arts Department students, who are attending a national competition in Kansas City later this month.

In your boxes this week:

Asparagus, lettuce, spinach, green onions, radishes, snow peas, and oregano.

And the recipe, from one of my favorite breakfasts:

Fast Eggs Florentine
by Marta Ferguson

2 large handfuls of fresh spinach, rinsed and dried
1 tablespoon of butter
4 eggs, beaten
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup of grated cheese, preferably romano

Place butter in skillet and wait for it to bubble. Add spinach. As the spinach starts to wilt and shrink, add eggs and scramble. Salt and pepper to taste. Plate and garnish with cheese.

Works well over toast or with hash browns. Serves two adult diners.

See you next week!
