Today we decided to make a lunch of stuffed tomatoes. We decided to go to the Raleigh City Farm and the Raleigh Farmer’s Market to get local fresh foods. The Raleigh City Farm was really nice. There were carrots, tomatoes, peppers, beets and more. I took some nice photos and had fun. The first set of photos here are from the Raleigh City Farm.
Note from Elizabeth:
Raleigh City farm has a CSA program as well as a weekly Farmers Market on Thursdays from 4:30-6:30pm – they also host classes and there are volunteer opportunities! They are located at 800 N. Blount Street Raleigh, NC 27604
We went to the Farmer’s Market to get the excess ingredients. There were some pretty things there. Tomatoes below were photographed there!
When we got back we started cooking. In the recipe it said to use bread crumbs, so we substituted that with roasted almonds, rosemary and a bit of cayenne and then put them in a food processor. Next we sautéed onion, garlic and beet greens as part of the filling. I hollowed out the tomatoes with a melon baller. We stuffed the tomatoes and put them in the over. During this we made a sauce with the leftover parts of the tomato.\
