Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and Quinoa Bake
Market shoppers wanted to know how to cook brussels sprouts and Candice from Saint Paul, Minnesota provided us with this vegetable dish.
I agree with Candice. Brussels Sprouts need a watchful eye so you know how you like them and to make sure the outer layers won’t turn to charcoal. I’ve added the watchful owl to the recipe as a reminder.
The curry flavor in this dish intensifies over time and is great the next day too.
Enjoy.

Eggplant and Cauliflower – Oh my!
Earlier this week, I baked this Eggplant dish Casey provided and added my own twist–cauliflower.
You will see eggplants and cauliflower pop up at the Market around the same time so I thought I would combined the two in this dish. I like the texture of the braised cauliflower with the earthy quality of the eggplant.
This dish is so easy and flavorful, I’m baking it, right know, for the second time this week! Great dish, Casey!

Maria’s Secret to Delicious Potato Salad
Here is the secret ingredient to improving your potato salad! I had to try it for myself, indeed it adds a rich flavor.
I enjoyed how Maria described the texture of the onion in the recording:

Creative meanderings
Last week at the Saint Paul Farmers Market, people shared the most interesting recipes with me. Recipes from unexpected places like Yemen and Turkey. Market goer, Tish from New Mexico, shared an interesting twist to Quiche. She adds small dollops of cream cheese on the bottom before adding in the egg mixture. Ernest shared his favorite Texas Butter Beans recipe, Susiette shared a healthy Bulgar and Kale salad and Maria shared her secret ingredient to great tasting potato salad. (I’ll post her secret soon.)
With so many interesting recipes on the minds of Market shoppers, I had to cook up a few of them. The Market had most of the ingredients I needed so I was in good hands. After cooking and experimenting with these new dishes, I started to draw.
Here is a photo of me in the studio sorting out the details of a composition while nibbling on cumin seeds.

Sneak Peek of the first recipe
The first layer of color.
Last week at the Market, I got this great breakfast recipe from Ansa. It’s a quick and creative meal that his kids love. In the image above, I’ve applied the first layer and continue to sketch out the composition.
Shared Recipes
It was a beautiful and busy at The Market yesterday. A number of people were curious and shared their recipes with me. Here are a few of my favorites: Dale’s Delight, Omelet with Veggies and Salami, Greek Salad, Avocado Linguine Chicken, and Cantaloupe Varson. Now, I get to draw a few of these colorful creations. Stay tuned.
