on wednesday i picked up fresh eggs, asparagus (they are so good right now- i am more excited about them than ramps…), a small yellow variety of potato (not yukon gold), small cippolini onions, and more red spring garlic. i was able to make a nice frittata for lunch when we got back to the house.

potato and arugula pizza

this is a pizza i remember reading about in the verdura cookbook. you start with a simple yeast pizza dough and then layer thinly sliced potatoes, olive oil and red pepper flakes. it’s topped with crisp arugula. i added some parmesan cheese pre-oven, and then some lemon zest at the end.

i spotted a really fresh bundle of baby kale at the farmer’s market. i saved half for salads because it is so tender, but felt compelled to sauté at least part of it with some bacon. i used the vermont smoke and cure brand which was delicious. the sliced garlic was added at the very end because it tasted mild and so fresh.

these were leftovers that we had for lunch. the salad was something i saw on david tanis’s column and the turnips just looked so good at the farmer’s market.

asparagus and augula salad

shaved asparagus

arugula (this was sold in a nice big bunch with its roots at the farmer’s market)

shaved parmesan

olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper

japanese turnips

for these i just tossed them with some miso that i blended with olive oil and pepper then roasted for 30 minutes. we ate them cold with the salad the next day.
