Recipe: Collard Green Rainbow Rolls
-------------------
|
Recipe is from nutritionist Sara Calderon of
Foods for Thought
. Sara will be back with another cooking demonstration on September 28th!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup short grain brown rice
2 cups water
1 bunch of collard greens (about 8-10 leaves)
1 bell pepper, cut into thin strips
1 cucumber, peeled and cut into thin strips
2 large carrots, shredded or cut into matchsticks
1 avocado, cut into slices
½ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
For the peanut sauce:
½ cup creamy peanut butter (almond butter or seed butter can also be used)
¾ cup light coconut milk
1½ tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tbsp tamari soy sauce
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp garlic powder
PREPARATION
1. Combine rice and water in a pot and bring to a boil. Cover with a lid, reduce heat to low and cook for 40-45 minutes. Remove rice from heat (with lid on) and steam for 10 minutes. Let rice cool before using in the rolls.
2. Whisk all peanut sauce ingredients together in a small bowl.
3. Fill a large, shallow skillet with water, and bring to a simmer. While the water is heating up, fill a large bowl with cool water and add a handful of ice.
4. Wash the collard greens if they are dirty, then dunk one into the boiling water (using the stem as a handle) Let the leaf blanch for 10-20 seconds - until bright green. Remove from the skillet and plunge the leaf into the bowl of ice water. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
5. To make a roll, pull a leaf out of the bowl and blot it lightly on a clean towel. Spread the leaf onto your counter or cutting board, stem-side-up (the stem forms a large ridge down the back of the leaf).
6. Using a sharp knife, fillet as much of the stem off as you can without cutting through the leaf itself. Slice off the entire stem off at the base of the leaf and flip the leaf over.
7. Add a small amount of each of your filling ingredients in a line across the width of the roll, leaving enough room on the sides so you can fold in the sides of the leaf like a burrito.
8. To roll, fold the bottom of the leaf up over the ingredients, then fold in the sides. Use your fingers to hold the ingredients tight and roll away from you. You can add a small dab of peanut sauce to the last bit of leaf, to help hold it together. Repeat with remaining collard leaves and ingredients.
9. Slice the rolls in half and serve with peanut sauce on the side, for dipping.

Street Mural re-painting cancelled!

Due to the rainy forecast once again, we will be

Sadly, this probably means that we will not have the opportunity to repaint the street this season. We'll be figuring out an early summer date for 2020, and will let you know when we do.

Fall Dahlias
Herr's Family Farm
Chow and Yua Her and their sons work incredibly hard each and every day, tending to their acres of flowers. Somehow the perennial dahlias, tubers waiting under the earth to burst forth with life, bring the most vibrant and unreal color in the fall, from delicate yellows and purples, to deep reds and oranges, to pristine whites and blues. Available both in mixed bouquets with other fall flowers, and in bunches on their own.
Canadice Grapes
Sun Gold Farm
Canadice grapes are a hardy variety, bred in upstate New York and named for one of the Finger Lakes. This hardiness means that they do well in our climate too, and have a delicious, almost spicy flavor, and a pleasant tang.
Tabouleh Salad
The Hummus Stop
This tangy and delicious salad, mostly parsley, lots of lemon, some olive oil, and a little bit of bulgar and tomato, sells out nearly every week at the market. Enjoyed by the spoonful on its own, or made into a meal with your choice of hummus and pita bread or chips, it will have you asking, what is The Hummus Stop's secret?
