Sweet Potato Cranberry Salad

April 10, 2014 By marketeditor

Tastes of the Mediterranean from Euro Delicacies

Saratoga Farmers’ Market customers lift their forks with gusto for the Mediterranean cuisine brought each week to market by Euro Delicacies. An array of a dozen or so stainless steel warming trays creates a savory buffet of options at the Euro Delicacies station on the second floor of the Lincoln Baths market.

Euro Delicacies is family-run and headed by Armin Hrelja, who grew up in Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina).

“Our most popular dishes are Spanakopita and Eggplant Parmesan,” notes Hrelja, who works with his family members to create entrees reflecting their Eastern European background.  “But usually by the end of the market session, we have sold out of just about everything.”

From vegetarian dishes like grape leaves stuffed with lemony rice (Dolmades) to meat and vegetable-filled pies (Burek), Spanakopita (spinach-and feta filled pastry), and Stuffed Peppers; the generous portions of home-cooked food served up by Euro Delicacies at the market keep people coming back each weekend for more.

Other favorites on the menu include Pile Pita, lasagna-style layers of filo dough, caramelized vegetables and chicken breast; Eggplant Parmesan; Moussaka; and Stuffed Cabbage Rolls.

“Everything we offer is made from scratch, including all the sauces,” notes Hrelja. “We buy our ingredients from local farms and vendors.”

For dessert, Euro Delicacies offers the very popular honey-and-nut-filled pastry called baklava. Made with multiple layers of thin, flaky phyllo dough, Euro Delicacies uses walnuts and honey in its version of this popular sweet.

Euro Delicacies will continue to serve customers at the farmers market once it moves outdoors to High Rock Park in May. “We will be selling our food on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and think it will be popular for people wanting a quick meal or picnic downtown, or as take-out food to enjoy at home,” says Hrelja.

In addition to selling at farmers’ markets, during the work week Euro Delicacies staffs a busy lunch station in the Empire State Plaza in Albany.

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!
