Edamame and Fresh Chicken from Harland's Creek Farm at Saturday Market
Posted 8/7/2009 7:04am by Judy Lessler.
Dear HCF supporters,
We will have the first of the Edamame at the Durham Farmers' Market this week. Edamame is a great healthy snack and children love it. Simply boil for 3 to 5 minutes, drain, salt, and cool. To eat as a snack, put the shell use your teeth to pop the beans out of the shell. Or you can shell it and use it in a recipe.
We will have tomatillos as well. Below is a recipe for Salsa Verde.
Of course we will have tomatoes, basil, eggplant, potatoes, and other products.
Best regards,
Judy
