Farm to Table Recipes

BUTTERNUT SQUASH with WALNUTS & VANILLA
Yield: Serves 4.
We’re using butternut squash for this dish, but you could easily use kabocha squash instead, or any firm, easy-to-peel, winter squash. You can either boil or roast the squash, directions are given for both methods.
Save Recipe
Ingredients
1 butternut squash, about 2 pounds, peeled, seeds removed, flesh cut into 1-inch cubes (see how to cut and peel a butternut squash)
3 bay leaves (if boiling the squash)
Salt
1 heaping cup of walnuts (can substitute pecans or pine nuts)
2-3 Tbsp butter
2 teaspoons grated ginger
1-2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Black pepper to taste
Method
1a If roasting Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat the cubed squash with a little vegetable oil and spread out onto a baking tray. Sprinkle with salt and roast until the cubes begin to brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven.
1b If boiling Put 4 cups of water into a medium-sized pot and add the bay leaves. Bring to a simmer. Add the squash to the pot. Boil, covered for 10 minutes. Drain.
2 Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and toast the walnuts. Stir frequently or they will burn. Once they they start to brown, and you can smell the aroma of toasted walnuts, remove from heat.
3 Melt the butter in the pan with the walnuts over medium-high heat. Toss the walnuts to coat with butter, then add the squash. Toss them to coat with butter.
4 Add the grated ginger, vanilla extract, black pepper, a little salt and dried thyme and toss once more. Turn off the heat and squeeze some lemon juice over everything. Taste for salt and lemon and add more to taste. If you want this to be a bit more luxurious, mix in another tablespoon of butter or two before serving.

Statesboro Market2Go:  Happy Fall! The market is OPEN!


Lots of fall veggies available this week!
And we will be open this week, but closed the following week for Thanksgiving.
Please order this week, and tell your friends about Statesboro Market2Go!

Northeast Georgia Locally Grown:  Northeast Georgia Locallygrown availability list for Nov. 10


Good Evening Locavores,
The market is well stocked with products from vegetables to meats, breads, and skin care.
Remember that Locally Grown will be closed next week so stock up now for this week and for your Thanksgiving dinner.
We farmers may need the extra week off from the market to recover and care for crops through the unseasonable very cold weather descending on us this week.
This cold weather means a pot of chili with grass fed beef locally grown peppers, onions, garlic, and tomatoes simmering on the wood stove. Steaming hot food and toasty warm heat from the fire make frigid winter evenings downright enjoyable.
The market is open for your orders. Have a great weekend and stay warm.

Siloam Springs, AR:  Produce update......


Tom, owner of Opossum Hollow Produce, has been working hard all week long to keep the high tunnel warm and the produce alive. Cold snaps like the one we are experiencing this week causes the plants to be stressed. Uncovering them and exposing them to the cold could harm them so there will be no produce available this week at market.

Tom says, “We’ll be back next week with Spinach, Kale, Chard and Lettuce. Its too early to tell if we’ll be posting an inventory on the https://siloamsprings.locallygrown.net/ on-line market site, but we’ll keep y’all posted. Thanks for sticking with us. This is a tricky time of year complicated by even trickier weather”.

We appreciate Tom and all his hard work. We thank our customers for understanding this situation.

See you tomorrow morning!
