What’s New

Produce

Last of the Season Strawberries
Mast Produce – $6.70 / quart
Besides being delicious, berries are dense with antioxidants and other important nutrients that defend the body against everything from cancer to memory loss. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese. Eat them plain as a snack, in a smoothie or as added sweetness to salads. Storage tip: Place unwashed berries in a single layer on a paper towel in a covered container in your refrigerator.

Zucchini & Yellow Summer Squash
Mast Produce – $4 / lbs

Tomatoes, Red Slicers
B&H Produce – $4 / lbs
Lycopene, the chemical that makes tomatoes red, helps eliminate skin-aging free radicals caused by ultraviolet rays. Cooking tomatoes, helps concentrate their lycopene levels, so when eating pasta, opt for the red sauce.

Super Spicy Mustard Greens

Butterhead Lettuce
B&H Produce – $3.35 / head

Green Garlic

Carrots – Deep Mud Farm – $2.30 / bunch
Eating carrots do not help a person to see better, instead their high levels of vitamin A help prevent a person from seeing worse. Carrots offer an extremely high dose of vitamin A which is great for your eyes and skin. The National Cancer Institute found that people with the highest intake of carotenoids (what makes the orange color in carrots and other oragne colored fruits and vegetables) are six times less likely to develop skin cancer than those with the lowest intakes.

What’s New

Produce

Carrots – Deep Mud Farm – $2.30 / bunch
Carrots’ extremely high dose of vitamin A is great for your eyes and skin.  National Cancer Institute researchers found that people with the highest intake of carotenoids (what makes carrots orange) were six times less likely to develop skin cancer than those with the lowest intakes.
Urban myth:  Eating carrots helps a person see better.
In reality carrots mainly help prevent a person from seeing worse.  Orange colored foods get their color from their high levels of beta-carotene, which your body converts into the antioxidant vitamin A.  While vitamin A does a lot of important things-from boosting your immunity to improving communication between cells-it’s vital for creating the pigment in the retina responsible for vision in low-light.

Strawberries! Miller Farm – $6.50 / quart
Besides being delicious, berries are dense with antioxidants and other important nutrients that defend the body against everything from cancer to memory loss. Strawberries are an excellent source of vitamin C and manganese. Eat them plain as a snack, in a smoothie or as added sweetness to salads. Storage tip: Place unwashed berries in a single layer on a paper towel in a covered container in your refrigerator.

Broccoli, Double Star Farm – $4 / lbs
A single stalk of this cruciferous veggie packs three grams of protein, about as much as an ounce of chicken breast.  Eating a cup offers a great dose of calcium, as well as manganese, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, and iron. It also contains phytonutrient sulforaphane, which studies at Johns Hopkins University suggest has powerful anti-cancer properties.

Asparagus, Scharff Farms – $6.50 / 1 lbs bundle
Asparagus is loaded with bone-protecting vitamin K and it is a great source of folate, which may help fight off heart disease.  “It’s a nutritious alternative to starches as a side with fish and poultry,” says Milton Stokes, MPH, RD, a spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. Tips for cooking Asparagus: Toss with olive oil, salt, and crushed red pepper, roast for 10 min at 400 degrees, finish with squeeze of lemon. — Cook bite-size pieces in a hot wok with soy-sauce, ginger, and garlic. — Sautee with olive oil (see recipe below).

Tomatoes
Green & Red Slicers – $3.65 / lbs
Lycopene, the chemical that makes tomatoes red, helps eliminate skin-aging free radicals caused by ultraviolet rays. Cooking tomatoes, helps concentrate their lycopene levels, so when eating pasta, opt for the red sauce.

Recipe Ideas

Carrot and Sweet Potato Puree
(4 side servings)

Recipe from Food Network and adapted by Tony Belpedio, BS Dietetics Candidate, Fontbonne University

Ingredients:

1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1 inch cubes
1 lbs carrots, peeled and cut into 1 inch pieces
2 cups chicken broth
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
pinch of cayenne (optional)
maple syrup to taste

Directions:

In a saucepan or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute.  Add the carrots, sweet potatoes, cayenne (if using), salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes until slightly softened. Add the stock and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat and simmer until the carrots are tender, about 25 minutes. Use a ladle to remove the majority of the cooking liquid and reserve. Using an immersion blender, puree the mixture until slightly chunky, adding the reserved cooking liquid a little at a time, if needed. Stir in maple syrup to taste.

Enjoy!

Sage-Seared Trout on Toasted Pecan Missouri Rice with a Side of Edamame

Adapted from the September 2012 issue of Feast Magazine.

Ingredients – Trout

• 1 Tsp olive oil
• 1 whole boneless trout
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• ½ tsp fresh sage, finely chopped

Ingredients – Toasted Pecan Missouri Rice

• ¼ cup cooked Missouri long-grain white rice
• ¼ cup cooked Missouri long-grain brown rice
• ¼ cup cooked quinoa
• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 oz toasted pecans pieces
• salt and freshly ground black pepper

Ingredients – Edamame

• ½ pound young green soybeans (about 4 cups of pods), fresh or frozen
• 2 Tbsp coarse salt

Directions

Add oil to a skillet set over medium-high heat. Dust each trout with salt, pepper and fresh sage. Sear the trout for 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

In a mixing bowl, add the white rice, brown rice and quinoa. Fold in the butter until melted. Add pecans and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Place edamame pods in a large bowl. Sprinkle generously with salt and let stand 15 minutes. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil, add the beans and boil over high heat for no more than 5 minutes. To retain the beans’ bright green color, keep pot uncovered. Drain beans and serve hot or at room temperature. To eat squeeze the pods with your fingers to press the beans into your mouth and discard the pods.

Place the trout on top of the rice blend. Serve edamame on the side.

Stuffed Cubanelle Peppers

Ingredients

• 5 cubanelle peppers
• 5 ounces River City Savory Cheese Spread

Directions

On a medium-hot grill, roast the peppers, turning occasionally, until completely charred (about 8 minutes).
Place charred peppers in a paper or plastic bag to steam for a further 8 minutes to loosen the skins.
Peel peppers, then cut a slit down the length of each and remove the seeds and membranes
Stuff each pepper with the cheese.
Secure with toothpicks to hold the peppers closed. Using heavy foil, wrap the peppers so that a packet is formed that will hold in any juices. Grill the packet until heated through (about 8 minutes).
Allow packet to cool for 5 minutes. This will give the cheese time to harden and make the peppers easier to handle. Remove toothpicks and serve warm.
