THIS WEEK'S PRODUCE & OFFERINGS:
Sockeye Salmon is here!An Outer Aisle favorite - the salmon comes from Bristol Bay, one of Alaska's sustainable fisheries. Denny Thompson from Sonora is our supplier. For years he had a fishing boat out of Knack Knack and only recently at the age of 86 gave up fishing. The catch still draws him to Alaska every year and opens up his house to the younger fishermen. SWEET RED BELL PEPPERS are in! STILL ON SPECIAL! Beautiful reds, Sweet Marconi, Padron, Shishito, large Jalapenos, Purple bells and more!CHILES Habanero, New Mex, Anaheim and Padron and Shishito and now Pablano CAMALAY: A MURPHYS' HEIRLOOM TOMATO There's only a few of us that have the seed for a unique variety of tomato that has it's roots right here in Calaveras County. In fact, the family that intentionally bred this fine red tomato was our neighbors and the three of them (Ernie, Josephine and Sharkie) all lived to be in their 90's and Ernie until 104! Our personal (unproven) theory goes: that by living off the land, feeding themselves, growing a large garden and feeding others they remained free of stress and enjoyed their health right up to the end. Every year, for the past 25 years, we've grown these beauties and when we reach the point of harvest we heartily thank the Vogliotti family. If you've ever dappled in seed saving you will know that there is a science to saving seed that demands attention, patience and dedication. Imprinted on my memory is a time when we visited Josephine (the last one left of the three). She was often alone and we would go down to pay her a visit every now and again and hear the old stories of how and what they did making a living on the land. I remember distinctly the first time we brought her down a beautifully ripe Camalay. She took the tomato into her arthritic hands and brought it up to her nose for a long inhalation, just as any tomato connoisseur would, declaring that it was "one of ours". The best reward ever!

RECIPE of the week
CHILE RELLANO'S ERIC STYLE
Roasted Anaheim Chiles (blister over gas flame) 1 egg for every two chiles, separated 3 TBSP flour Beer Roast Anaheim chiles and put in a paper bag to steam. In the meantime, prepare the filling of your choice: feta, cheddar or your favorite cheese, shaved corn, diced onion, cooked ground meat, prawns, sausage. Next beat the whites to a stiff peak with either Cream of Tartar or salt. Make a batter with yolk, flour, beer (enough to make a pancake consistency). Fold into the stiff whites. Peel the chiles under cold running water, cut off the tops and take out the seeds. It's easier to slice down the length of the chile and stuff with filling. Heat oil in a cast iron pan to medium hot. Dip the chiles into the mix and amply coat. Fry until golden brown. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh salsa.
FRUIT SALSA
This is what we've been eating along with Shrimp stuffed Chile Relleno's!! Cube any fruit (2 pounds) nectarines, pluots, peaches, melon 1 small onion, diced 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or minced 1 jalapeno, diced 1 ear of corn, shaved 2 splashes of fruit white balsamic Olive Oil Combine all the ingredients, taste and adjust accordingly.
Peach, Shallot and Habanero Glaze
3x Peaches - peeled 1x Shallot finely diced Hot pepper - Habenero if you have one or jalapeno - diced finely 1 TBS Maple Sryup 2 cloves garlic Place the shallots in butter and saute until well down. Add the peaches onto the shallots allowing the peach juices to escape and begin cooking themselves. You may need to add a little water to prevent sticking or burning. Add the chopped garlic, hot pepper and continue cooking until the peaches resemble a juicy sauce mashing them down as they continue to cook. Adjust the spiciness and sweetness by adding more pepper and maple syrup. Great with pork or chicken and just about anything that you want to impart warmth and flavor.
