Carrot Patties recipe

I made these two nights ago and they were delightful! Carrots and potatoes seem like an unlikely combination when mixed together, but I am obviously very wrong. It goes without saying that everyone loved your carrot patties.
I added extra black pepper and margarine, a little white pepper and a dash of cayenne and paprika.

1 1/2 cups cooked mashed carrots
1 cup mashed cooked potatoes
2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons dry breadcrumbs
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
All-purpose flour
Hot vegetable oil

Combine first nine ingredients, mixing well. Shape into 8 patties and dust each lightly with flour. Fry in hot oil until browned on both sides; drain on paper towels.

Serves 6 to 8.


Romanesco with Gargonzola
Preparation Time: 10 Mins
Cooking Time: 10 Mins

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 romanesco, cut into florets
1 tsp plain flour
1/2 cup Gorgonzola cheese, diced
1/4 cup milk
3 tsp butter, softened
2 tbsp brandy
1 tbsp toasted cumin seeds
salt & pepper

Instructions

This recipe is for all those blue cheese lovers, and for those who want to try a variant to the normal cauliflower cheese! Put the romanesco in a saucepan, add cold water, the flour and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil, then simmer for 10 minutes until just tender. Drain and place on a warm serving dish. Meanwhile, put the Gorgonzola, milk, butter and brandy in a blender, add salt and pepper to taste then process until smooth and combined. Spoon the mixture over the romanesco, sprinkle with the toasted cumin seeds and serve immediately.

Winter CSA 2007

Hello loyal customers and friends...

We are getting ready to start the much wanted CSA program here at Willie Greens. We have enjoyed seeing friends (old and new) at the markets this season. As it draws towards the end, we can focus on the CSA program and hope to see you all there. I have been mailing out copies of the winter brochure so if you don't receive one be sure to give me a call and I can get it in the mail for you or come by one of the farmers markets that we are at. You can find those listed on the website also. The deliveries are set for Wednesdays this year.
You can go online and do your ordering like in previous years. (www.williegreens.org) We have changed the company we use for ordering so it will look a little different. We are still working on some of the dynamics of ordering so there are a few things that we need you to put into the comments when checking out.

1. Which Location you want to pick up at.
2. Which sessions you are wanting to participate in.

We are so excited to see our CSA family again. As always please feel free to call me or email me with any questions or comments.
