We're hitting the Farmer's Markets this week......
This is one of my happiest times of the year. I love nothing more than stopping at roadside stands, going to local farmers' markets, and hitting u-pick farms.
Jolene of Jolene's Recipe Journal loves it too and invited us all to join her today, Wednesday, and Friday to share some of our favorite ways to serve up the fresh bounty......

The best thing about Farm Fresh Produce, in my opinion, is that it needs minimal preparation, to give maximum flavor, nutrition, and taste.
I brought this head of cabbage home. Sliced it, leaving the core intact to hold its shape, brushed it with olive oil, seasoned it with salt and pepper, and put it on the grill until charred and crisp-tender. I could have made a meal of it.

Adding the smoky flavor from the grill brings out so much in fresh produce. Simple and complex at the same time!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, Karen
DeleteHow have I never had grilled cabbage before? I'm definitely going to try it with my fresh basil honey mustard dressing!!! Sounds like a great way to cook it!
ReplyDeleteThat dressing will be perfect on the cabbage.
DeleteBeautiful char marks! Cabbage isn't usually something I'd grab but I'm going to have to give it a shot now.
ReplyDeleteLet me know how you enjoy it, Jolene.
DeleteA smokey grill is really the way to go!
ReplyDeleteThis is officially a must try for us! Such a tasty low carb side dish, it will go great with so many proteins too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Marcelle.
DeleteGreat idea to grill the cabbage! That smoky flavor sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteSo good, Radha.
DeleteI bet the char makes for a sweely and delicious cabbage.
ReplyDeleteIt sure does.
DeleteI just bought a head of cabbage to make coleslaw but this sounds WAY better!
ReplyDeleteYes, coleslaw can always be made but grilling season only lasts for a bit..at least where I live.
