Four Cheese Fondue
This fondue recipe is delicious with any combination of our Hawthorne Valley Farm
cheese so please feel free to experiment. Hawthorne Valley Farm is located in
Columbia County, NY. You can find us at the Union Square Greenmarket every
Wednesday & Saturday or view our website www.hawthornevalleyfarm.org
Serves four to six.
1 cup stock, beer or * white wine
* 1 clove garlic
1 Tbsp cornstarch
* ¼ lb Hawthorne Valley Farm Alpine, shredded
* ¼ lb Hawthorne Valley Farm Havarti, shredded
* ¼ lb Hawthorne Valley Farm Edamer, shredded
* ¼ lb Hawthorne Valley Farm Cheddar, shredded
*Ingredients seasonally available at the Union Square Greenmarket.
In a bowl, mix the cornstarch with shredded cheese and set aside. Rub the inside of a
heavy skillet with the garlic clove and discard the clove (you can add more minced
garlic if you like). Put stock (or beer or wine) into pan over medium-low heat and bring
to a gentle simmer. Gradually stir the cheese into simmering liquid. Be careful not to
overheat the cheese, less is better. Melting the cheese slowly also creates a smooth
fondue.
If fondue seems too thick, gradually add more stock until you reach the desired
consistency.
Serve immediately, preferably in a fondue pot, or even a crock pot to keep warm.
Especially delicious dipped with our Hawthorne Valley Farm breads, sausage, or
veggies. Enjoy!

Kale Sage Toasties
(a warm snack for three cold farmers)
This recipe is courtesy of Sarajane Snyder who works at Keith’s Farm. The idea is a hot,
lightly pan-fried corn tortilla containing delicious tangy and aromatic kale, sharp cheddar,
and a bit of brown spicy mustard to be eaten with the hands and enjoyed. Keith’s Farm is
located in Orange County, NY. The farm stand can be found at the Union Square
Greenmarket on Wednesdays & Saturdays from spring through autumn.
* about four garlic cloves and a medium onion, roughly chopped
olive oil
* sage leaves
* a bunch of curly (winterbor) kale, stripped from the stem & roughly chopped
* apple cider vinegar
corn tortillas--about 6 little ones
sea salt
* thin slices of sharp cheddar
stone ground dark mustard
sour cream as a topping
* Ingredients seasonally available at the Union Square Greenmarket.
Set out the tortillas to warm up.
Braise the kale in some water in which sage is being infused, 4-5 minutes or until it's
looking good. Remove it and put it in a colander to drain out a little.
Sauté the onion and garlic and a couple more sage leaves slowly in oil, let them get
slightly brown and melted. Add the kale. Turn up the heat and cook for a minute. Sprinkle
on some apple cider vinegar and salt.
Empty the kale/onions into another dish as you'll use the sauté pan for toasting the
tortillas.
Holding the little tortilla in your hand, lay some cheese on one half, spread some mustard
on the other half, and pile in some of the kale filling, being sure to not overfill it. Fold it in
half all the way closed. Repeat until your filling is used up.
Warm up the sauté pan again, adding more oil if needed. Toast the toasties on both sides
for just a minute or until they seem crispy. Do a few at a time if your pan is big enough.
Plate the toasties up, sprinkle on some more salt and a dollop of sour cream.

Greenmarket Thanksgiving’09 Recipe Series
Carrot Salad
Recipe courtesy Ben Borkovitz of Hawthorne Valley Farm. I started making this
Carrot Salad to bring to family gatherings as both a dish I felt proud of and a lifeline
for me because my eating preferences weren’t in the majority. It is enzyme rich, full of
seasonal local good stuff, (the majority of which you can get at the Union Square
Greenmarket) and a crowd pleaser! It’s also pretty quick and easy to make if you have
a food processor with a shredding blade and something to finely chop nuts with (coffee
grinders with no coffee in them work great!)
Choose the sweetest and crunchiest carrots you can find, and your favorite apples
(you can mix apple types, but it’s nice to have some sweet ones in the mix). Finely
ground almonds add a little bit of oil/creaminess, and the sunflowers bring extra
crunch. The lacto-fermented vegetables add zing as well as nutritional benefits that
can help appreciative eaters to stay healthy during the change of seasons, as well to
better digest all the other fun things they eat at Thanksgiving and other times.
* 1½ lbs fresh carrots (big ones are good, less peeling required)
* 1½ lbs apples (about 3 medium) – seeded & cored, plus an extra apple for garnish
1½ C raw almonds, chopped or finely ground
1½ C raw sunflower seeds
* ¼ jar (4 oz.) Hawthorne Valley Farm Kim Chee (lactofermented)
* ¾ jar (12 oz.) Hawthorne Valley Farm Curry Sauerkraut (lactofermented)
*Ingredients seasonally available at the Union Square Greenmarket.
Using a food processor or grater, shred carrots and apples. Mix together in a large
bowl. Grind or chop almonds (I use an electric nut chopper) and add, mixing
thoroughly. Add sunflower seeds, kim chee and curry sauerkraut and taste for
desired tang (add more kim chee to make it spicier if desired). Place mixture into a
serving bowl. Slice the apple you have put aside for garnish. Place apple slices on top
and around the outer edge of the salad and serve!
Hawthorne Valley Farm is located in Columbia County, NY. For more information on
lacto-fermented vegetables please visit us at the Union Square Greenmarket every

Friday’s Friend
The Rick's Picks Enhanced Condiment Utilization Task Force has come to rescue your
leftover Thanksgiving turkey from the dark nether regions of your refrigerator. Here's a
mouth-watering way to make the Friday after Thanksgiving a celebration in its own
right using our curried green tomato pickles, the Green Tomato Condiment. At home
we call this supreme sandwich Friday's Friend, and some of us look forward to it more
than the Thanksgiving meal itself! You can find Rick’s Picks at the Union Square
Greenmarket on Wednesday and Saturday, year-round.
* A ciabatta loaf
Leftover turkey
* Extra sharp cheddar cheese
* A couple of onions
* Rick's Picks Green Tomato Condiment
* Butter
Turkey gravy
*Ingredients seasonally available at the Union Square Greenmarket.
Peel and chop the onions into little pieces. Sauté the onions in a pan with the butter
until they are caramelized. Reserve the onions on the side. Slice the ciabatta in half
lengthwise. On one side, put slices of turkey and slices of the Green Tomato
Condiment pickles. On the other side of the bread, put the caramelized onions and
the cheddar cheese. Put the two sandwich halves together and place them in a panini
press (if you don't have a panini press, you can use a frying pan and weigh the
sandwich down with a second pot). Grill the sandwich on both sides until it is golden
brown. And... viola! Friday's Friend. Dip your creation in warm turkey gravy for an
added bonus... it's an Italian sandwich concept with a French dip twist... it's like you
are standing on top of the Alps looking in both directions! Enjoy!
