Most of what we found at the Pitt County Farmer's Market this week was the same as last week. We did buy some "Peaches and Cream" corn on the cob grown in Greene County AND beautiful tomatillos grown at the Renston Homestead. I used them to cook the cover recipe from the June 2007 issue of Bon Appetit last night. While there were many steps involved, it was worth every one. The Stacked Chicken Enchiladas with Salsa Verde and Cheese were DIVINE. I had made the recipe before with salsa verde in a jar and, although it was good, this version "from scratch" was one of the most interesting combinations of flavors, colors, and textures that we had ever tasted. The Pickled Red Onions that were served on top were beautiful...a combination of lime juice and oregano in the marinade yielded a most interesting flavor. We have lots of them left and I can't wait to add them to salads or the pork chops that are waiting in the fridge.
The other HUGE success was the recipe that we tried with NC Local Shrimp and green beans from the Farmer's Market. Click on the link for ROASTED SHRIMP WITH CHAMPAGNE-SHALLOT SAUCE. I used white wine, rather than champage and the dish was not only beautiful, but outstanding!
