Easy, Almost Instant, Hollandaise Sauce

May 22, 2018 By marketeditor

Recipe courtesy of Mary Pratt of Elihu Farm

Total time: 10-15 minutes

 

If you’ve thought about making Hollandaise Sauce, do you shrug, because you’ve heard it’s too complicated? This “egg sauce” is ideal sauce for spring.

Ingredients

*Ingredients available at the farmers’ market

  • 1 lemon
  • 1 whole egg *
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter*  (or 1 tbsp olive oil* and 3 tbsp butter* or 2 tbsp of each)
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream*
  • Salt to taste
  • Optional additions:

Lemon zest

Whipped heavy cream*

Parsley *

Capers

Orange zest and orange juice

Instructions

  1. Whisk 1 whole egg in a bowl which will fit atop a 1½ quart saucepan. Whisk in 1 tbsp lemon juice; add a pat of cold butter. Using a whole egg instead of egg yolks makes a more forgiving sauce that’s less likely to curdle. (Use 2 egg yolks if you prefer a richer sauce.)
  2. Heat the olive oil and butter, or just butter, in another pan, until the butter foams but doesn’t burn, (If you like a more lemony sauce, add some lemon zest.) Keep warm.
  3. Bring to a simmer about half an inch of water in a 1-1/2 or 2-quart pan. Put the bowl of egg mixture over the simmering water (no need for an official double boiler). The bowl cannot touch the water.
  4. Whisk constantly as the egg heats up and the butter begins to melt. Don’t heat too fast, or the sauce might curdle. Then, add the hot butter or butter and oil to the bowl, in a slow stream while whisking briskly. Allow the sauce to heat slowly, whisking more and more, until it changes texture and appears custardy.
  5. If the sauce begins to curdle, remove from the bowl from the heat. Add a bit of lemon juice and a smidgen of butter or oil and whisk until the sauce becomes smooth. Then put the bowl back on the pan and continue, until all the butter or butter and oil are incorporated.
  6. Remove from the heat; whisk in 1 tbsp heavy cream to make the sauce more spreadable. Keep warm until ready to serve on asparagus, broccoli, fish, or atop eggs Benedict.

 

Additions and substitutions: For orange flavor, add orange juice and half the lemon juice, and substitute the zest of half an orange. Other additions can include, whipped cream * (Sauce Mousseline), capers (don’t overdo), finely minced parsley, or some paprika.

Sweet Potato Salad with Apples, Raisins and Shallots

April 5, 2018 By marketeditor

Adapted from the recipe by Miss Annie on www.geniuskitchen.com

*Ingredients currently available at the farmers’ market

Once the pan is sizzling, add a scant ¼ cup water, then cover the pan and reduce heat to low to avoid burning the contents.

  3. Combine the juices, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Whisk together, then add the oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly.
  5. Pour over the salad, toss well to combine well, then refrigerate overnight before serving.

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!
