Kenny will once again be set up and selling his wonderful produce this Saturday at his new location…

Carr’s BBQ and Market ~ 3700 Paoli Pike, Floyds Knobs, from 8-12 or sold out.  Look for the beautiful new Fresh Produce sign.

Beginning this week we are introducing something new… Vegetable of the Week”. Stop by and learn more about the vegetables Kenny grows and learn new ways to enjoy them. We will feature a recipe on the website, as well as have a few different recipes for you to pick up. 

Featured this week… Swiss chard

This week we will also have  limited amounts of  broccoli, cauliflower and peas available. But, we’ll have plenty of green beans, green onions, cabbage, kale, mustard greens, collards, elephant garlic, zucchini, yellow squash, beets, cucumbers/pickles and home grown red ripe tomatoes… maybe even a few heirlooms too.  There might even be a surprise or two awaiting you.

Stop by and pick up some fresh goodies and chat for a while. Some of our home-made items are also available inside Carr’s BBQ if you need anything. Fresh free-range eggs are always available at Carr’s as well.

Looking forward to seeing you,

Kenny & Val

A healthy, raw Chard Salad, packed with summer veggies and chickpeas- vegan and gluten free, this hearty Mediterranean Salad tastes great stuffed into a toasted Pita.

4–6 cups shredded chard

1 colored pepper – sliced

4 sliced radishes – sliced

½ cucumber – sliced

6 cherry tomatoes- cut in half or tomato cut in wedges

1 avocado- sliced

¼ cup kalamata olives – optional

1 cup cooked chickpeas

1 cup chopped parsley, mint, and basil

¼ cup toasted pine nuts (or slivered almonds)

fresh sprouts – optional

crumbled feta

 

Lemony Dressing

2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

2 teaspoons honey

1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

 

Place all the salad ingredients in a large bowl (either separate ingredients into small piles over the greens, or toss all).

Whisk dressing ingredients together in a small bowl. Adjust salt and lemon adding more if necessary.

Dress the salad, you will probably not need all the dressing.

Sprinkle with feta and nuts.

Asparagus makes a striking topping on this easy-to-assemble tart. Kenny absolutely loves this; I have made it three times for him this asparagus season.

1 sheet frozen puff pastry (10×15 inches), thawed

¼ cup sour cream

2 Roma tomatoes, sliced thin

1lb. asparagus, cleaned and trimmed

2 cloves garlic, diced or grated

½ small onion, sliced thin

Salt

1 Tbsp. olive oil

⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping (optional)

Freshly ground black pepper

Balsamic Vinegar (optional)

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Place puff pastry on prepared baking sheet, and use fork to poke holes evenly across surface, stopping a half-inch from edges. Spread sour cream over puff pastry, leaving a half-inch border. Arrange tomatoes, onions and garlic over sour cream, and then top with asparagus spears. Season with salt, to taste, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle ⅓ cup Parmesan and pepper, to taste, overtop.

Bake until pastry is cooked through, about 30 minutes. Top with more Parmesan, if desired.  I like to drizzle some Balsamic Vinegar on mine before eating (Kenny doesn’t).
