Hi BFM fans, A friend brought Padron peppers from her vacation in Spain and her boyfriend blistered them for us: just heat olive oil in a pan and sauté the peppers until they look blistered, just a few minutes. Sprinkle with sea salt and a bit of lemon. Eat. Do the same with Shishito peppers. Mountain View has both of them. Never know what to do with Sage? This cream of sage, garlic and thyme appetizer knocked out all the others the other night at an apero: Simmer 3 ounces of peeled garlic cloves in salted, vinegared water for 7 minutes. Add the leaves from a big bunch of sage and 10 thyme sprigs. Simmer 3 more minutes and drain. Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil until it shimmers and add it slowly to a blender or mixer where you are pureeing the herb leaves. Once it is creamy, spread it on thin toasted crostini. Andre riffed on a classic from his Egyptian childhood, Muhammara: Puree roasted or grilled and peeled red peppers, walnuts and homemade blackberry jam (instead of pomegranate molasses)with a bit of cayenne or smoked hot pimenton. CHEF DEMO: Our friends from Boundary Stone will be flexing their farm to table muscles at the market Sunday, starting at 10;30 am. Robin’s Provencal Cooking Tip: Slice Rosa Bianca or similar eggplant into 1/3 inch slices. Brush with olive oil and bake on a cookie sheet or hotel pan until brown on both sides. (400 degree oven). Sprinkle with cut herbs and serve. ADDICTIVE. Top with yogurt or goat cheese or diced tomatoes or a combo of fresh tomato sauce and cheese. Makes great sandwiches, too Ω Music at Market: Meet local musician Chris Broderick who will be doing the honors from 10:00-12 BIKE HOUSE 11-1 Bring back those bikes.
