Beat the Heat Market

Manor Farmers' Market
Manor New Tech High School
10323 Highway 290 East
manorfarmersmarket.org

3pm to 7pm every Saturday
year round

Can't beat the heat any better than at the Manor Farmer's Markets. At both the Wednesday and Saturday market you may park right next to the vendors booths. Hop out of your nice cool car and jump right back in. No lugging you fresh grown vegetables and meats back through the hot, hot parking lot back to your car. Easiest access markets around.

For the market this week we will have an array of locally grown summer vegetables including: EGGPLANT! zucchini and yellow squash, tomatoes, potatoes, cucumber, okra and black eyed peas. Peach preserves, blackberry jelly, fig preserves, Spaghetti sauce, tomato soup and someone had asked for SALSA last week so Sylvia is going to make some to go on the Tamales from the Mata family.

Eggs from happy healthy chickens raised in fresh air and sunshine like God intended.

Beef raised on green growing pasture grass, what their stomachs are built to digest, and with out the use of byproducts, grains, fillers, antibiotics or growth hormones.

Whole organic chickens no soy, antibiotics or growth hormones. You know why? Because when animals are raised in an environment where they have enough room, good healthy natural food, fresh air and sunlight they don't need them.

Mata Tamales: Yummy goodness. Beef, Pork, Chicken, Spicy Bean or mixed batches. Empanades for sale too.

Pat the Baker Lady will be out of town this weekend.

Today's Recipe-Manor Farmers' Market doesn't offer lamb at this point. Loncito Lamb, I believe comes from the Elgin area, you may google them or it is available at Skip and Erin's Green Gate Farm over by the Expo Center. Here at the Old Goat Ranch I have organic lamb available on the hoof. Chicken works well for this recipe simply adjust the cooking time remembering that it is cooking from both sides due to the hot skillet.

If you don't know what to have for dinner tonight ...

Nothing complements the flavor of lamb better than rosemary. And our Quick Broil method makes this dish very fast and easy to prepare. With this dish you not only enjoy great taste but add an excellent source of protein, vitamin B12, selenium, zinc, and vitamin B3 to your Healthiest Way of Eating. Enjoy!

10-Minute Rosemary Lamb Chops

Prep and Cook Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

* 12 lamb chops
* 6 TBS fresh lemon juice
* 3 TBS chopped fresh rosemary,
* 3 medium cloves garlic, pressed
* ¼ tsp salt
* ¼ tsp black pepper

I add a great big dollop of grainy Dijon type mustard to the rub. DL

Directions:

1. Press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out its hidden health benefits.
2. Mix together lemon juice, rosemary, pressed garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub lamb chops with mixture. Set aside on plate.
3. Preheat broiler on high heat, and place a stainless steel or cast iron skillet large enough to hold the lamb chops under the heat for about 10 minutes to get very hot (about 5-7 inches from the heat source). Be sure that the handle is also metal.
4. Once pan is hot, place lamb chops in pan, and return to broiler for about 4-5 minutes, depending on thickness of lamb. Lamb is cooked quickly as it is cooking on both sides at the same time. This is our Quick Broil cooking method.

Serves 4

Serving Suggestions: Serve with

* Pureed Navy Beans
* 5-Minute Kale

Healthy Food Tip

Is purple rice (referred to as "forbidden rice") better for you than brown rice?

I have tried to find a journal-published nutritional analysis of purple rice and have not been able to do so. All that I have been able to find is information from the Nutrient Facts panel of a purple rice package on the website of a supplier of this rice. According to that information, one-quarter cup of uncooked forbidden rice has 160 calories, 1.5 grams of fat, 34 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of fiber plus 0% DV for vitamin A, vitamin C, and calcium, and 4% DV for iron.

In comparison, according to the USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/), one-quarter cup of uncooked long grain brown rice has 171 calories, 1.4 grams of fat, 36 grams of carbohydrates, and 1.6 grams of fiber plus 0% DV for vitamin A and vitamin C, 1% DV for calcium, and 4% DV for iron. In terms of these Nutrition Facts panel nutrients, the two types of rice seem virtually identical. (It's also possible that the fiber contents in these two foods are even closer than four-tenths of a gram, because the purple rice manufacturer might have rounded up its fiber value to the nearest whole number.)

One difference between the two types of rice would involve the anthocyanin pigments that give purple rice its unique color. Anthocyanins are the color pigments that give many foods their deep rich red, blue, and purple colors. They are also well-studied antioxidant nutrients and are considered health supportive for this reason. The risk of several chronic health conditions, including atherosclerosis, is also lowered by regular consumption of foods containing anthocyanins. Colored rice makes sense to me as a rotating part of a Healthiest Way of Eating. Many other World's Healthiest Foods are also rich sources of these same anthocyanin antioxidants found in colored rice. Raspberries, blueberries, red grapes, eggplant, and beets would all be good examples of similarly colored (and health-supportive) foods.

Based upon all of this, I think that brown rice and purple rice (as well as other whole grain rice, such as red cargo rice) can play an important part in your Healthiest Way of Eating, and I encourage you to enjoy a variety of colored rice. The only reason that I chose brown rice as a featured World Healthiest Food and not purple or red rice was because brown rice is less expensive and more widely available. As with all World's Healthiest Foods, I encourage you to purchase certified organic rice, regardless of their color!
