| After-Hours Produce Pick-Up Program |

|
The OHSU Farmers market is thrilled to finally bring you the new Produce Pick-Up program.
July 8th will be the 1st pick-up after the Tuesday Farmers Market.
Why this program? Many of our busy staff at OHSU cannot make it to the market from 11:30-3:30 but want to support local farmers and bring home some fresh goods.
This program will ensure a better sales day for our vendors and make the most seasonal, fresh, delicious food accessible after work. There are a few important details to know in order to make this a smooth and delightful offering. Number of participants limited.
Please read our
for more details. |

Strawberries and Pea Shoot Toasts
From the culinary notebook of Jocelyn McAuley http://www.browniepointsblog.com Makes 3 toasts 1 piece of bread, crust removed 3 pea shoots 1 t pepper jelly 3 small strawberries olive oil flake sea salt Preheat the oven to 400F. Cut the bread into three rectangles. Place the bread on a parchment lined baking sheet, and toast in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown (the bottoms will be darker). Remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Prepare the pea shoots by washing well, and then removing any thick or tough stems, preserving the leaves. Heat a saute pan with a splash of olive oil a bit, and add the pea shoots. Give them a little toss to coat them in the oil. Saute for about 1 minute, or until the leaves start to become a slightly darker green. Remove the stem from the strawberries and slice into quarters or eighths. Spread a bit of the pepper jelly on the toast. Pile on a wilted pea shoot, top with the strawberries and sprinkle on a few flakes of salt.
