Recipe: Seasonal Stir Fry

Andrea Dierna of “From Seed to Stomach” is cooking up tasty products she’s found at the Union Square Farmers Market.  She writes:

“I can’t get enough fresh fruits and veggies and lucky for me, there are some amazing farmers markets in my neighborhood, including the Union Square Farmers Market in Somerville. Pay a visit to your local farmers market this week to pick up fresh zucchini, yellow summer squash, carrots, scallions, green and wax beans, garlic, and onions. I got all of the produce for this recipe from the Parker Farm, Drumlin Farm, and Kimball Farmstands at the Union Square Farmers Market. Your market should have a similar selection of fresh, gorgeous produce!”

“Pick up some tofu, soy sauce, sesame oil, braggs liquid aminos, and ginger on your way home and you’ll have all the ingredients needed for this insanely delicious stir fry. Best part? You can use whatever veggies are fresh in your area right now.”

Kitchen: Experimental

The Taza Test Kitchen presented a far more appetizing recipe this week.  Staff person Sarah Kirnie presents a chocolate cupcake that calls for not one but three different types of Irish liquor.  Saint Patrick’s Day may be over but really, you can celebrate Irish culture all year long.

 

Taza Chocolate Test Kitchen Challenges the Taste Buds

Union Square, through our annual Fluff Festival, has already proved that Marshmallow Fluff goes with everything.  Our friends over at Taza Chocolate it seems are trying to prove if the same is true for chocolate.

They’ve just launched the Taza Test Kitchen and the results are, shall we say, creative.  First recipe we fell upon, Chocolate and Avocado Potstickers.  Not a combination we’d have ever considered. By hey, who are we to talk?  We launched the Tuna Fluffer.
