"All biscotti will be sold at 2005 prices this Saturday (June 2). Individual biscotti will be $1.00 and all bags will be $8.00 to 'THANK all of our market customers for their loyal support,'" according to the Cabibbos.

Strawberries, Beans, and Peas!
A number of producers will be bringing strawberries to market on Saturday. We can also expect to see some great looking sugar snap peas. There is an excellent possibility that we'll see green beans at Saturday's market as well.

Lettuce, Leeks, and More
Enjoy pea vine, baby turnips, French breakfast radishes, and garlic scapes from this week's market. There is still plenty of asparagus, lettuce, mustard greens and herbs, including cilantro, parsley, and mint.

Italian Meat Sandwich

  

by Robyn's Cookin'  

 

Here's a great sandwich made with a sauce and beef that can be prepared well ahead of time. Use of the slow cooker means it can be ready when you get home from work.

While the original recipe calls for prepared horseradish plus garlic and onion power, we find that finely mincing these ingredients with a knife or via a quick trip to the food processor to puree works great and tastes much more fresh and 'lively.'

We also feel comfortable using chicken, pork, emu, lamb, bison, venison, elk or other meats as well as beef.

Finally, the original recipe calls for salt in several forms which we omitted. Flavorful, fresh ingredients from the DCFM generally require less salt to achieve more taste. So, salt to taste after it's cooked, if necessary.

Using ingredients from the DCFM turns this recipe from very good to super!

  

Meat

• 2 1/2 pound roast
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1 teaspoon pepper
• 1 teaspoon oregano (Get fresh at the market.)
• 1 teaspoon basil (Get fresh at the market.)
• 1 teaspoon parsley (Get fresh at the market.)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (Use garlic scapes or green garlic, available now at the market.)
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 (1 1/4 ounce) package Italian salad dressing mix

Horseradish Sauce

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise (fat free will work, as will home made mayonnaise using safety precautions.)
• 1/4 cup sour cream (Reduced fat will work.)
• 1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
• 1 teaspoon onion powder (Or get it fresh from the market and mince or puree it.) 
• 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish (Or get it fresh from the market and mince or puree it.)

Other

• 10 whole wheat rolls, toasted (Found at numerous DCFM vendors.)
• 1 white onion, sliced
• 2 bell peppers, sliced (In season, which they presently aren't.)
• 1/3 pound mushrooms from the DCFM
• 1 tablespoon olive oil (Or sunflower oil from the market.)
• 10 slices provolone cheese (Or other from your favorite DCFM cheese maker.)

 

Directions

1. MEAT: Place roast in slow cooker and add the remaining meat ingredients over top.
2. Cover and cook on low for 10 to 12 hours.
3. About an hour before meat is done, remove bay leaf and shred meat with a fork.
4. HORSERADISH SAUCE: Mix everything together. Refrigerate until ready to use.
5. TO SERVE: Spread a little horseradish sauce on both sides of the toasted rolls.
6. Add some meat, top with some veggies and then a piece of cheese.
7. Place under the broiler for a few seconds until cheese is melted (optional).
