Farm to Table Recipes

Ingredients:
Cheesy Stuffed Banana Peppers (Gluten Free)
yields about 10 (medium to large) banana peppers

1-8 oz. package cream cheese
1 cup plain greek yogurt (Chobani is my favorite!)
4-6 cloves garlic, minced (We love garlic, so we always go for 6 – you decide!)
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 cup shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend of cheeses)
1/2 cup grated parmesan, more for sprinkling
10 medium to large banana peppers

Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Put on some gloves (and wear a mask if you have bad coughing fits like me). Rinse the banana peppers to remove dirt, and cut off the stems. Open up the banana pepper length wise by cutting down through the center of the pepper (only on one side – do not cut it in half!). Remove the seeds as best as you can (or else they’ll be SUPER hot). Place on a paper towel to dry slightly while you mix the stuffing.

In a medium bowl, stir the cream cheese and yogurt together until smooth. Add the minced garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper, stirring until well combined. Add the mozzarella and parmesan, stirring until evenly mixed.

Scoop the cheese mixture generously into each of the peppers, stuffing it down into the tip of the pepper, all the way to the top. Place each pepper, open side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the opening with parmesan cheese.

Bake at 400ºF for 25-30 minutes, until the peppers are soft, and the cheese is browned. Allow to cool slightly before serving.

Spa City Local Farm Market Co-op:  Spa City Co-op takes to the airwaves

Happy Halloween Everybody,

Just a note to let you know that Spa City Co-op is sponsoring a radio show of live local music on the new solar-powered community FM station, KUHS 97.9 FM. The show is called Loca Locavorians, and is aired at 4 pm on Wednesday afternoons. The show features local talent – music, poetry, and storytelling – in live studio performances.

This is in fulfillment of our community outreach mission. The show brings local entertainment and information to those who don’t go out to bars and other venues, and possibly missing these great performers. We hope you enjoy the show.

Also a reminder – don’t forget to pick up your order today at Emergent Arts. Come before 5 if at all possible so our fabulous volunteers don’t have such a long day.

Be well,
Karen Holcomb
Market Manager and Treasurer
