We love having carryout gourmet food on tap at Findlay Market that can quickly satisfy our ethnic itch.  It's always a good idea to do a drive-by at this market house counter as they change thier offerings weekly.  Thanks for paying attention to the food presentation WFB, we at Feed Me Findlay sure do appreciate it!  Take care in your cooking and take care in your plating.

LIGHTLY FRIED CHICKEN W/ TOMATO MUSHROOM SAUTE OVER FETTICINI

Fried chicken is one of our absolute favorite foods. However, it really isn't the best thing to eat as often as we would like to. So we toned it down a notch here and lightly breaded it with Panko and sauteed it in olive oil. Couple that with the tomatoes, mushrooms and fresh homemade pasta, and you won't miss Grandma's fried chicken.

Ingredients / Vendor:

Amish Chicken / Heist Fish & Poultry

Tomatoes / Madison's

Crimini mushrooms, garlic / Madison's

Olive Oil / Dean's Mediterrean

Fettucini / Anything's Pastable 

Hidden Jewel - Pinot Noir 2006/ Market Wines

No recipe.

Around the house we call this Bird in the Nest.

SUGARED SWEET POTATOES, FRIED TILAPIA & GARDEN SALAD W/ WHISKEY SOUR

We must explain our short hiatus. We were researching for this blog, in Scandinavia.  Now although we have fish in this post, it is not the particular fish cuisine of the Baltic. We will give you just a quick sneak peak of our culinary delights there in an upcoming post. But, sailing the Baltic has certainly inspired us to keep our Captain's hat on and recall the ocean's salty air. 

Ingredients / Vendor:

Tilapia Filets / Heist Fish & Poultry

Sweet Potatoes / Ron Roth Produce

Mixed Greens / Madison's

Tomatoes / Madison's

Tarter Sauce / Heist Fish & Poultry

Sugar / Herb's & Spice & Everything Nice

Recipe from Grandmother's childhood home in the hills of West Virgina.

This is the season we live for at the Market, such abundance of choices. Watch out for a post overdose.

PROSCIUTTO & FRUIT W/ SOFT BOILED EGGS & SALTED RYE TOAST

Sunday brunch brain food, that pretty much sums it up.

Ingredients / Vendor:

Prosciutto / Gibbs

Cantaloupe, Grapes / Madison's

Eggs & Rye Bread / Gibbs

Meat group, Fruit group, Bread group, Butter group.

Since eating an entire cantaloupe between two people is a bit much, a Mexican trick is to blend the fruit with ice and water for a light version of a smoothie.  Fresh makes it best.

PARSLEY LEMON ZEST SOLE W/ SUGAR SNAP PEAS & BASMATI RICE

We started this culinary adventure at the farmers shed and could not possibly pass on a heaping bag of delicious sugar snap peas after sampling the raw product.  Add a couple lemons and some of our own freshly clipped parsley from the garden and voila!  Both sides of the fish were patted with the chopped parsley lemon zest mix, and then pan fried in a couple tablespoons of garlic infused olive oil for around 5 min per side depending on the thickness of the fillet.

Ingredients / Vendor:

Sole / Lukens Fish & Poultry

Sugar Snap Peas / Turner Farms (farmers shed)

Lemons / Madison's

Parsley / (our garden)

Salt & Pepper / Herb & Spice & Everything Nice

Recipe from the Modern Fast Food cookbook.

This dish took a total of 20 min to throw together (with 2 people working).  The fish was delicious and very soft and juicy.  The mild taste of this whitefish took well to the simple flavors of the rub and added its own sweet buttery taste.  I think we're going to be ramping up our seafood consumption here over the summer after having this fine catch.  Fresh makes it best.

Onion, Garlic & Herb Saute over Handmade Garlic Linguini

Calorie counters, look away. This pasta made by "Ohio City Pasta" at the Cleveland Farmer's Market and distributed by "Anything's Pastable" at Findlay Market is to die for. The freshness and natural flavors of the pasta need not need anything fancy to accompany it; yet I am sure many options abound from pesto to marinara to clam sauce. You really can't mess this one up.

Ingredients / Vendor:

Linguini / Anything's Pastable - Bouchard's

Olive Oil / Dean's Mediterranean

Onion & Garlic / Madison's

Fresh Herbs / (Our Garden)

No recipe, just chop, saute and serve.

It must be noted that there is a wide variety of pastas available, from angel hair to linguini and spinach flavored to plain. We're not sure that we can ever go back to Bertoli.
