Farmer's Market Demo: July 4th, 2009




Happy Fourth of July!  Another beautiful day in the Cuyahoga Valley, and there were plenty of folks out enjoying the day and visiting the farmer's market.  

I made a Sweet Onion Relish with Dill, and a Fresh Snap Pea & Radish Salad with Mint and Feta.

Sweet Onion Relish with Dill (adapted from a recipe on The Sweet Onion Source )

2 large sweet onions, peeled, and chopped
3 T olive oil
2 T balsamic vinegar
1 T honey
S&P
2-3 T fresh dill, chopped

Heat oil in large skillet over low heat.  Saute the onions for about 15 minutes, 'til soft, but not brown.  Add the balsamic vinegar and cook for a few minutes.  Off heat add honey, s&p, and dill.

Great served over hot dogs, sausage, turkey or veggie burgers.

Snap Pea Salad with Radishes, Mint and Feta Cheese  (based on recipe from NY Times)

1 basket of snap peas, remove strings and slice thinly on the bias
1 bunch of radishes, thinly sliced
1/2 bunch of fresh mint, chopped
1 container of feta crumbles from Lake Erie Creamery 
1 T fresh lemon juice
1 t balsamic vinegar
3 T olive oil
S&P 

Toss peas, radishes, mint and cheese in large bowl.  Whisk oil into lemon and vinegar, season with s&P.  Pour dressing over salad.  Taste - add more s&p if needed.
