Come this Saturday morning, June 10, to the Market for our first “festival for the season: Rise and Shine with Eggs and to get fresh vegetables, fruit, breads, coffees, plants and more.
Our “Rise and Shine with Eggs” event will feature Janean Bowen doing food demonstrations. At 9 a.m. she will prepare a Thai omelette using eggs and vegetables from our vendors. At 9:30 a.m. she will show how to hard boil eggs without getting a green ring. You will be able to sample the Thai omelette and Scotch eggs following the demos. Scotch eggs are a breakfast in one – boiled eggs wrapped in sausage! Delicious.

Recipe with ingredients from our Market
In keeping with our “egg” theme this week, I found the following recipe.
The Best Egg Salad (from J. Kenji Lopez-Alt)
Why this recipe works:
- Steaming eggs isthe best way to cook them for even cooking through to the core, and easy peeling. See below for how to steam eggs.
- Crushing the eggs with fresh mayonnaise by hand gives you a good mix of chunky and creamy textures. Scallions and celery add crisp freshness.
- Fresh lemon juice adds brightness and acidity to the mix.
Serves 3 to 4, Active Time: 5 minutes, Total Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 6hard steamed eggs, chilled and peeled
- 1/4 cuphomemade or store-bought mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon zest and 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh juice from 1 lemon
- 1/3 cup finely diced celery (about 1 small stalk)
- 1/4 cup finely sliced scallions, white and pale green parts only (about 2 scallions)
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley leaves
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Bread, lettuce, and thinly sliced radishes, for serving
Directions
Combine eggs, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, scallions, and parsley in a medium bowl. Using your hands, squeeze eggs through your fingers, mixing contents of bowl until reduced to desired consistency; alternatively, smash and mix with a firm whisk. Season generously with salt and pepper. Serve with sliced radishes, lettuce, and bread to make sandwiches, or store in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
How to Steam Eggs
Add 1 inch of water to a large pot. Place steamer insert inside, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add eggs to steamer basket, cover, and continue cooking, 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 12 minutes for hard-boiled. Serve immediately if serving hot.
