SHALLOT

Good for: Sauces and dressings Shallots have a mild onion flavor. These bulb-shaped alliums taste like a garliconion hybrid. In French cooking, shallots are used in vinaigrettes and sauces, as well as on top of steak.

ONION SCALLION GUIDE www.tasteofhome.com

YELLOW

Good for: All recipes, especially caramelizing If a recipe doesn’t specify what type of onion to use, your safest bet is a yellow onion.

Good for: Asian and Mexican cooking and garnishes These two-tone onions can be eaten cooked or raw. Scallions are popular in Chinese and Mexican cuisine. In Chinese cooking, scallions are used in stir-fries, soups, stews and braised dishes.

SWEET

Good for: Salads, relishes, garnishes Popular sweet onions include Vidalias, Walla Wallas and Mauis. If you’re looking for an onion that tastes amazing raw in salads, relishes or chopped as a garnish, go for sweet onions.

RED

Good for: Salads, grilling and pickling Red onions are ubiquitous on salads, sandwiches and other raw preparations partly because of their appealing deep-purple color.

They pair well with equally strong-flavored greens such as kale or arugula.

Raspberries are a member of the rose family.

--------------------------------Broccoli contains more protein than steak.

WHITE

Good for: Mexican dishes and grilling White onions are the type of onions you’ll usually find in prepared salads (potato and macaroni salads, for instance) and traditionally in Mexican cuisine. Their slightly sweet taste adds to fresh salsas, guacamole, ceviche and tacos.

Best Fish for Fish Tacos

www.spruceeats.com Most recipes for fish tacos say something along the lines of "use any mild-flavored, lean, flaky, white fish, like cod, haddock, or tilapia." This is helpful up to a point, but deciding which fish is the absolute best depends on what kind of fish

Northampton Farmers Market Municipal Park 1401 Laubach Ave., Northampton, Pa 18067

Tuesdays 3 to 6:30 PM May 11 to Sept 21, 2021

Come get your fresh produce and you can take dinner home with you from one of our food vendors!

tacos you're making, whether fried—considered traditional Baja California-style—or grilled. You can also pan-fry or even steam the fish.

It's important to keep in mind that in traditional fish tacos, which are made with mildflavored fish, the fish itself is not the central flavor of the taco. What takes center stage are the toppings, which include strong flavors like chiles, raw onions, citrusy mayonnaise, and lime juice, as well as the flavorful batter if the fish is fried.

Fried Fish Tacos

Traditional Baja California-style fish tacos are made with battered and fried fish, usually cod or tilapia. The fish needs to be firm enough to fry well, and mild enough so that it doesn't compete with the various crunchy, creamy, and spicy ingredients that accompany the fish inside the corn tortilla.

Lean types of fish are also the best for deep frying; fatty fish like tuna or salmon can taste too oily when cooked in the deep-fryer. For a traditional-style fish taco, stick with cod or tilapia. Other choices include pollock, haddock, striped bass, snapper, and catfish, which is excellent fried.

Grilled Fish Tacos

Grilling is a great alternative to frying when preparing fish for fish tacos. It adds flavor to the fish, not only from any seasoning or marinade but also from the way it browns and crisps up on the grill.

For grilled fish tacos, you need a fish that holds up well over high heat and won't fall apart on the grill. Again, cod and tilapia are good choices, but you can also use fattier fish like tuna, salmon, and swordfish. Halibut is also a good grilling option, as it has a steak-like quality (as opposed to flaky).

Use Inexpensive Fish

Whether you are making Baja-style or not, there is no reason to buy pricey fish for fish tacos. Tacos are street food, and when filled with meat, cheaper cuts are almost always used, so why not follow suit when using fish?

There are plenty of delicious, inexpensive fish options available, including tilapia and catfish.

And no matter the kind, it's a good idea to buy frozen fish. In many cases, fish is frozen right on the fishing boat and it stays frozen all the way to the market, so it is almost certainly fresher than the "fresh" fish you buy at the grocery store which was likely previously frozen, and then thawed.

What Is Upcycled Food?

Page 7

Thespruceeats.com Food waste is a big issue for climate activists since food production is a heavy contributor to climate change. Up to 40 percent of all food ends up in the trash in the United States, whether at the farm, during transport, at the grocery store, or at home.

One of many solutions to the food waste problem is upcycled food.

It's cost-effective. Upcycling foods turns them from waste that has zero monetary value (and can actually cost money since it must be disposed of) into a valuable ingredient.

It's good PR. The public has become more and more concerned about food waste over the last several years as concern over climate change has heightened. Taking proactive steps like offering products using upcycled foods can make a company more attractive to shoppers.

What Is Upcycled Food?

How to Use Upcycled Foods at Home

Upcycled food is food that would normally be thrown away or used as animal feed but is instead repurposed to make a new food product.

Manufacturing byproducts, such as the fruit and vegetable pulp leftover from juicing, are a common upcycled food, as are imperfect produce that can't be sold in stores and discarded elements of foods that are considered inedible, such as seeds and peels. On an industrial scale, some companies are using the waste from their own products to make new, upcycled products, while other companies are buying and selling upcycled foods.

Why Upcycle?

It's good for the environment. The less food that is wasted, the smaller the carbon footprint for that particular product.

While upcycled foods are taking the commercial food world by storm, you can also incorporate them into your home cooking to help reduce your waste.

Collect peels and scraps from produce and bones from meat and freeze to use later for broth.

Save the rind of melons and make pickles Use carrot peels to make carrot cake or muffins.

Use carrot tops or radish greens to make pesto.

Turn lemon and orange peels into candied citrus.

Dry apple peels for a tasty snack or use to brew herbal tea.

Use stale bread to make croutons or breadcrumbs.

Classic Wine and Cheese Pairings To Try Winefolly.com

Pinot Noir and Gruyere

Why it works: The ever-present red berry fruit of a Pinot Noir is the perfect match for the nutty flavors found in a medium-firm cheese like Gruyere. Both have just the right amount of aroma and complexity to them, without running the risk of one overpowering the other.

Champagne and Brie

Why it works: The softer texture of triplecream cheeses like Brie demands something sharp and acidic to cut through the fat. The high acid and pleasantly stinging bubbles of Champagne combine with Brie’s thick creaminess in a contrast that is very satisfying.

Plus, that brioche flavor you get in traditional method sparklers adds a tasty bit of toastiness.

Moscato d’Asti and Gorgonzola

Why it works: As we’ve said, funkier cheeses call for a sweeter wine, but the lightness of Moscato and other sweet whites can be a terrific change if you’ve only ever matched pungent

cheese with heavy, fortified wines. The fresh, acidic fruit of a Moscato d’Asti cleans your mouth of heavier cheeses like Gorgonzola, leaving you nice and refreshed.

the citrus and mineral notes found in a French Sauvignon Blanc bring out the wonderful nutty and herbal flavors that can be found in the cheese. The acidity is also a great way to cut through the heaviness of the goat cheese.

Cabernet Sauvignon and Aged Cheddar

Page 11

is a mellow and versatile cheese that blends really well with the high acidity and stone fruit flavors found in a Riesling. The aromatic scents of the German classic brings out a subtle and surprising nuttiness in a good quality Havarti cheese.

Apples give you more energy than coffee.

--------------------------------Pecans are rich with antioxidants.

Why it works: A bigger, bolder cheese needs a wine that can lift it up, spin it around, and not get winded in the process. An aged Cheddar has a fattiness that matches up wonderfully with the mouth-drying tannins you’ll find in many Cabernet Sauvignons. Plus, their respectively bold flavors will match, instead of one drowning out the other.

Provence Rosé and Havarti

Why it works: The crisp, red fruit you find in a Provence Rosé is delicious but delicate, and the mellow flavor you find in a Havarti complements the wine gracefully without overpowering it.

In addition to this, the steely minerality of a Provence Rosé is a great contrast to the smooth, soft texture of the cheese.

Riesling and Raclette

Why it works: Smooth and buttery, Raclette
