Recipes


Parmesan-Roasted Broccoli

Ingredients:

4 to 5 pounds broccoli
4 garlic cloves , peeled and thinly sliced
Good olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
3 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons julienned fresh basil leaves (about 12 leaves)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Cut the broccoli florets from the thick stalks, leaving an inch or two of stalk attached to the florets, discarding the rest of the stalks. Cut the larger pieces through the base of the head with a small knife, pulling the florets apart. You should have about 8 cups of florets. Place the broccoli florets on a sheet pan large enough to hold them in a single layer. Toss the garlic on the broccoli and drizzle with 5 tablespoons olive oil . Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, until crisp-tender and the tips of some of the florets are browned.

Remove the broccoli from the oven and immediately toss with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the lemon zest , lemon juice, pine nuts , Parmesan, and basil. Serve hot.

Market News

We have lettuce! Lots of beautiful hydroponic lettuce this week! Perfect for your tasty salads. One of the great things about hydroponically grown lettuce is that it has a very long shelf life. And that means less waste and more profit for you. Order early for best availability.

We also have organic broccoli, turnips, assorted greens and squashes. This is the time of year for the nutritious green superfoods, so don’t miss out.

Remember, you have 2 ordering times per week now- Mondays till noon and Wednesdays till noon.

Thank you for supporting your local food hub!
