We've got our first
green beans, peppers, potatoes, onions, garlic, okra and more!
My favorite recipe this
time of year is sauteed garlic and green beans (sometimes with a little soy
sauce). A simple recipe that is so delicious! (I like most of my greens the
same way...) If you have a recipe you really like, post it on Facebook
and tag the Salisbury Farmers' Market!
Here's what we've got

Recipes:
One thing I do that my
friends give me grief about is using a microwave. Sometimes I'm in a rush and
my 2 year old daughter is hungry and it's just faster to cook something in the
microwave (sweet potatoes in a microwave with cinammon on top are super popular
with a 1 year old).
Garlicky Green Beans:
Green beans, stemmed and cut into whatever size pieces you like (1 pound).
Garlicky Green Beans:
Green beans, stemmed and cut into whatever size pieces you like (1 pound).
Garlic, at least 1 clove
(I use about 3). Peeled and minced
Butter, I use around 3
Tbsp of "European" style butter from Ashe County Cheese (available at
Salisbury Wine Shop, where the owners happen to be great farmers' market
customers!)
Optional: Try using herbs like basil, parsley or oregano to spice this recipe up

Salt & pepper to taste
or consider a dash of soy sauce
Optional: pre-cook your beans by boiling or steaming (microwaving them in a covered container with 1/4 cup water for 3-5 minutes usually does the trick). Pre-cooked green beans may be better for some customers. Make sure to strain before adding to hot butter.
Personally, I just fry my beans with the garlic in butter until slightly soft and browned on the sides. Salt and pepper to taste.
If you pre-cook, sautee your garlic at medium high until it gets soft and fragrant, then add the drained beans. Salt and spice to taste.
Simple, delicious and good.
