Recipes

Please, share your recipes with us on the Recipes tab. We’d all love to know how you use your Stones River Market products, so we can try it too!

The recipe this week comes from an email I received this week from Food 52.com and uses many products you can find on the Market. RunawaySpoon from Memphis is the author.

Makes 6 skewers

Garlic Scape Satay

• 1 bunch garlic scapes (about 6 scapes)
• 1/2 inch piece fresh ginger, peeled
• Juice of one lime
• Handful of cilantro leaves
• 10 mint leaves
• A few Thai basil leaves (optional)
• 1/4 cup soy sauce
• 3 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1 pound beef round, cut into evenly sized pieces

Make scape skewers by cutting the woody ends off of six scapes. Cut the ends into sharp points. Set aside. Cut three of the scape top pieces (about 8 inches) and the ginger into small pieces and drop in a blender. Add the lime juice, cilantro, mint and basil leaves and the soy sauce. Blend until a paste forms – the scapes are woody, so this takes a little work and scraping down of the sides of the blender. With the blender running, drizzle in the sesame oil and blend until smooth. Pour the marinade into a ziptop bag and add the beef cubes. Seal the bag and shake everything around to coat the beef. Refrigerate for several hours, turning once or twice. When ready to cook, heat the grill or a grill pan to high heat. Thread the beef onto the scape skewers. If needed, you can cut a small slit in each beef chunk to slide the skewer through. Grill the skewers until the beef is cooked through, about 10 minutes

Garlic Scape Satay Sauce

• 3 eight-inch pieces garlic scapes
• 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
• 1/2 cup coconut milk
• 3 tablespoons water
• 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon hot sauce
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

Cut the scapes into small pieces and place in a blender. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until smooth. Serve with Garlic Scape Beef Satay Skewers

Notes from our vendors this week:

From Chef Jenny with JENuine Health

Strawberry Sweet Treats – this special treat was made especially for the Franklin Farmer’s Market strawberry festival. It’s a delightful mix of toasted sunflower, pumpkin, and poppy seeds that are sweetened with freeze dried strawberries, agave, and coconut sugar. For more information about the products visit the new website at: www.sostn.com.

From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse

We have only one succulent planter and one windowsill herb garden left, so get yours soon! We do have lots of beautiful hanging baskets as well, nice for your patio this summer. Pick up an Aloe vera plant to help when you get sunburn – because you know you will!! Our tomato plants didn’t like the warm temperature in the plant room and are taller than planned, but still very healthy, and now reduced in price. Among perennial friends flowering this week are the astilbes, beard-tongue, carnations, coral bells, pincushion flowers, small sedums, yarrows, gauras, and lavenders. The many types of ferns and herbs are all looking really nice. Gift certificates from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse are available in any denomination on the market.

Thanks so much!

Blessings,
Linda

Happy Spring Everyone!

Botanical Harmony Farm will have part of a new, natural baby care line on the market this week. Cloth diaper safe rash cream with organic coconut oil, organic shea butter, organic coconut oil, arrowroot powder, beeswax, Calendula, Plantain, Chickweed and Pure Essential Oils and local, raw honey . This formula is non-greasy and is a wonderfully moisturizing, protective and healing for sensitive baby skin. Comes in two convenient sizes.

Baby Breathe (suggested for use with babies 3 months and older) – same incredible formula as our regular Breathe but with less concentration of essential oils due to the delicate nature of baby skin. 1 oz pot.

We are adding more to this line in the next week along with gift sets for baby and one just for the new mom.

As always, we thank you for supporting our family farm business. We are doing what we love with our loved ones because of you ! <3

Tracey, Ashleigh, Callum, Katherine, Wil, Benjamin, Andrew and all the farm animals.

From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse -

Spring has come on with such a rush that this will be the last week for daffodil bouquets from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse. We also have several beautiful succulent planters which will be a great table or desk decoration or Easter gift. They can also be moved outside for the frost-free time, from early May until October.
