Market News

It is hard to believe we have reached the last week on July. So far it has been a very pleasant summer. There is still plenty of summer left to enjoy too.

We have a first for the Market this week. Two farmers are offering corn – Rainbow Hill Farm and Rocky Glade Farm. The recipe this week, uses that corn on the grill. To accompany the corn on the grill, be sure to see the products offered by Wedge Oak Farm and West Wind Farms. There are other items on the Market that work for grilling too. You will find squash, zucchini, okra and eggplant from Flying S Farms and White City Produce and Greenhouse. You will also find several varieties of garlic this week from our farmers that can be incorporated into your recipes for the grill.

Other items of interest:

In addition to her fruit and veggie empanadas, Casa Segovia-Paz now has chicken and beef varieties available.

The Blue Porch has introduced several new items this morning including bread and butter pickles and pasta salad.

Blueberries are still available from Prospect Hill Farm.

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!

Summer is grilling season and this weeks recipe focuses on grilling corn that many of us have done but may be new to others. Instructions come from Simply Recipe – http://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/grilled_corn_on_the_cob/

Grilled Corn on the Cob

INGREDIENTS

• 4 ears fresh corn, in their husks
• Butter (or an herb butter) for serving

METHOD

1. Prepare your grill, gas or charcoal, with direct, high heat, about 550°F. (You know the grill is hot enough if are able to hold your hand one inch above the grill for only 1 second.)
2. The corn husks will protect the corn from burning or drying out while it is on the hot grill. If you want a bit of char on your corn, peel off a few of the outer layers of the corn husks first, before grilling.
3. Place the corn in their husks on the hot grill. Cover the grill. Turn the corn occasionally, until the husks are completely blackened and charred on all sides, about 15 to 20 minutes.
4. Remove the corn from the grill. Let them sit for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle. Remove the silks and charred husks from the corn. If you need to, use a damp towel to protect your hands from any sharp edges from the charred corn husks as you peel them off.
5. Serve with butter. (Or you can sprinkle with a little chili powder, cotija cheese, and some lime juice for a Mexican twist.)
