 Recipes of the SeasonNo matter whether you celebrate St. Patrick's Day or not, this is the season for certain dishes that tend to be served around March 17, though they are just as tasty any time of the year. Corned beef and cabbage is one of them - and the pricing of corned beef right now makes it particularly appealing. Think about buying some to freeze for later in the year. Other Irish inspired favorites feature potatoes, onions and carrots also priced favorably at the moment. Check out the website for recipes that use these ingredients and can be "put up" via freezing for later use. And let us not forget lamb, which is the key ingredient in the recipe in Anna's column this week. Speaking of lamb, it will be featured, along with salmon, at the Winter Harvest Dinner this Saturday, March 16, at Mockingbird Kitchen and Bar in Bantam. A few tickets are still available if you have no plans and are so inclined. A wonderful meal and evening supporting our Litchfield Hills Farm-Fresh Market. Some of the best food you'll have all year. Tickets through our website. Our next market is in 2 weeks on March 30. Market NotesSee complete vendor list below for all who are participating this week. Of special note:
Anna Gill's column is titled The Luck of the Irish and gives us the history of that phrase as well as some interesting tidbits about celebrating St. Patrick's Day. As mentioned above, her recipe features lamb - Irish Lamb Stew. And most of the ingredients you can buy right at our market. See you at the market Saturday, INDOORS at the Community Center.
