Bluegrass Farmers Market

Well folks, I have some really great news...the Bluegrass Farmers' Market has extended its 2014 market season! Yup, that's right...the nice folks at Azur Restaurant & Patio have invited us to continue for a few more weeks. As it stands now, we'll be open through December 13^th but that could change too. We'll keep you all informed. Even though the Richmond Rd. location is closed for the season, you might still be able to shop with some of your favorite farmers and producers at the Azur market. :) And, who knows, you might just get to meet some members who normally don't come to Richmond Rd.! It's a win win situation for all of us!

I have to admit that when I started creating this blog, I did not know about the decision to keep the market open so it was going in a totally different direction. I debated whether or not to include my original posting and then thought, why not! Well, at least the recipe that I was going to share. A friend of mine sent this to me and said it was excellent. I still have some market onions in a basket and I figured this was a great way to use them before they start to grow sprouts! Lol

Caramelized Onion Pie

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup onions, thinly sliced

2 eggs

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 cup Swiss cheese

1 8” baked pie shell

1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Salt & Pepper to taste

Melt butter over medium heat in a skillet. Stir in onions and cook until browned and caramelized, about 30 minutes...make sure you stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from skillet and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs; stir in cream and salt and pepper. Add Swiss cheese and mix well. Dump in the cooked onions and mix again. Pour egg and onion mixture into a cooled, baked pie shell and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top. Place on a cookie sheet and bake in a preheated 375 degree oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the filling has set and just starts to brown. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes before slicing. Enjoy!

Now on to the market business...what will you find tomorrow at the Azur Restaurant & Patio location of the Bluegrass Farmers' Market? Unfortunately our farmers did not know about this extension either so many of them are not prepared for tomorrow but I'm sure they will show up sooner or later. Farmers have a hard time with changes ya know! Lol

But, what can you expect to find?

AZUR RETSAURANT & PATIO

MY OLE KENTUCKY SOAP will be on hand with their potato breads and handmade soaps!

ON TAPP DAIRY will be there with chicken, veal, grass fed beef, pork, and farm fresh eggs!

And, who knows what else you might find!
