Farmers’ Market Stir Fry

October 1, 2013 By marketeditor

The great variety of local vegetables and meats available at the Saratoga Farmers’ Market this week make perfect ingredients for a stir-fry. This quick cooking recipe is a great after work choice.

The key to a quick stir-fry is to have all the ingredients prepared and ready to go in the skillet. Cut the vegetables into small pieces and slice the meat thinly so they will cook quickly in a wok or skillet on medium to medium high heat.

The recipe below is from the WMHT TV series “From Farm to Table.” This collaborative production of WMHT and Cornell Cooperative Extension explores local farms and highlights local products.

At the WMHT web site you can join nutrition educator Kim Sopczyk, formerly of CCE Warren County, as she shows viewers how to make the most out of fresh local produce. You can also search the archives for more recipes featuring local farm products.

 

Farmers’ Market Stir Fry

2 cups broccoli*, cut up

1 cup carrots*, sliced

1/4 cup onions*, chopped

1 cup red pepper*, sliced

2 garlic cloves* or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

1/2 cup fresh mushrooms

1 pound pork or beef*, cut into small strips

1 tablespoon sesame seed oil

1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce

Return the vegetables to the skillet, add soy sauce, stir together and cook over medium high heat until heated through. Serve over brown rice.

Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Cru Starting off the week with another MCM (Market Crush Monday!) This week we talked to Kim from Mugzy’s Barkery who brings healthy, locally made dog treats to the market. 
 
1. How did Mugzy’s Barkery get started? 
My sister Jaime started the business just over 5 years ago to have a healthier treat option to give her beloved Olde English Bulldog, Mugzy. Our treats are all natural and organic, providing a healthy alternative to mass-produced treats for caring dog parents. 
 
 2. What’s your favorite part about vending at the market?
Definitely getting to see all the dogs! The funny thing is I know all our regular customer’s dogs by name, not the owners. 
 
3. What are your most popular treat flavors?
Pumpkin paws (grain-free biscuits) and the pupcakes (a bite-sized treat) are really popular with the dogs but we also have flavors like PB cookie cups, apple cheddar training treats, banana buddies and more, so something to fit any pup’s tastes!
 
The PB cookie cups have been tried and approved by our market assistant’s dog, Lacey!
