One of the fun things about working at farmer's markets is that at the end when people are leaving, a lot of the stands will trade goods with each other. It's midway between a barter and gift economy - much of the time someone will bring something over without actually asking for anything, and then they might come over for some bread later or they might not want any, and I do the same thing. It feels very neighborly. Yesterday I got a dozen eggs and two really beautiful bunches of flowers, and the day before I got a pumpkin pie and a bag of vegetables.
I haven't posted a recipe recently, so here's some instructions for Farmer's Market Stew.
Ingredients:
1 big pile veggies you got for free the day before at the farmer's market
1 can beans, whatever kind go well with your current veggies (I use a lot of chili beans)
1 can diced tomatoes, only if there aren't any fresh tomatoes this time
spices, to taste
Set aside any vegetables that don't go well together. Chop the rest and put in a pot along with the beans and can of diced tomatoes, if necessary. Cover and cook on low for about 20 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil before eating. Serve with delicious bread you also got for free because it was a little squashed.
