Special Annual "Taste of the Market" breakfast
to Support REAP's Chef in the Classroom Program
Local Chefs Tory Miller of L'Etoile and Graze plus Lisa Jacobson of Mermaid Café will lead a team of students from Sherman Middle and East High schools in preparing this week's "Taste of the Market" breakfast. Proceeds from this week's breakfast will be used to help fund REAP's Chef in the Classroom program. This event not only showcases delicious seasonal ingredients and each chef's different, influential styles, but is a platform for students to implement the valuable skills they have learned while participating in the Chef in the Classroom program. It truly is the students' time to shine! Started in 2006, Chef in the Classroom teachs youth how to cultivate the tools of healthy eating through increased hands-on participation in scratch cooking. The program also develops students' familiarity with, and an appetite for, fresh local foods, while instilling a well-rounded knowledge of local food systems. For this week only, the cost of the breakfast is $12.50 or $8.50 for the small portion. The "Taste of the Market" breakfast starts serving at 8:30 and goes until 11:00 or the food runs out. In addition to the seating available on the main level, ample breakfast seating can be found on the second floor. The stairway and elevator are located at the front of the market, directly to the east of the main entrance.
Volunteers are available to help carry your tray upstairs. Just ask when you purchase your breakfast.
This week's breakfast includes:
- Overstuffed burrito filled with eggs, flavorful chorizo (or black beans), sweet potatoes and pepper jack and Monterey jack cheese. Garnished with micro greens, creme fraiche and tomatillo salsa both made by Tory Miller. (Gluten Free available by request);
- Side salad with carrots and beets and a simple vinaigrette made by Lisa Jacobson;
- Mini Cinnamon Spiced croissant from Graze;
- Choice of either apple or cranberry juice;
- Just Coffee Fair Trade coffee.
This week's breakfast is sourced from the following DCFM producers:
- Don's Produce: Sweet potatoes and salad greens
- Driftless Organics: Carrots and beets
- Garden to Be: Micro greens
- Gitto Family Farm n' Kitchen: Tortillas
- Hook's Cheese: Pepper jack and Monterey jack cheese

Vendor Notes  Matt Smith of Blue Valley Gardens will be bringing something new in the turkey department this week. We've never seen them before but they look delightful. We're talking about turkey steaks. See recipe below to get started with this new product.
Carrie Johnson of Jordandal Farms plans to be at market this week. During the winter market it's usually husband Eric that tends the stall.

RecipeBlue Valley Gardens Broiled Turkey Steaks
Blue Valley Gardens Broiled Turkey Steaks
Blue Valley Gardens Broiled Turkey Steaks
[Editor's Note: This is a wonderful recipe that uses these innovative turkey steaks, found at the DCFM. In addition, the rub will work well for many kinds of broiling and grilling recipes.
Other DCFM ingredients, including chicken, burgers, red meat steaks, mushrooms, fish, and more will benefit for this rub. Follow the tips in the directions to make sure your turkey steaks take full advantage of your broiler or grill.]
Adapted from Susan Smith, Blue Valley Gardens Ingredients - Eight turkey steaks
- 1/3 cup coarse salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoon oregano
- 2 tablespoon thyme
- 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
Directions - Let the steaks thoroughly thaw in the refrigerator before broiling or grilling.
- Mix together the loose ingredients.
- Rub the mixture on to both sides of the steaks.
- Let sit for a few minutes.
- Broil or grill until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. If the steaks are getting too done on the surface while remaining raw on the inside, turn down the grill or move the steaks further away from the broiling element.
- After steaks are done, remove them to a plate and let them sit for a few minutes so that moisture is reabsorbed into them.
- Enjoy!
