Easy Capsicum & Tomato Sauté πŸŒΆοΈπŸ…

One of my favorite ways to enjoy capsicums is this simple and flavorful dish. Just roughly chop several onions and capsicums (about 2-3 cm pieces), then sauté them with garlic and chili until fragrant. Add chopped tomatoes and let it simmer down until thick. Season with salt, pepper, and extra chili powder if you like a bit more heat.

This dish keeps well and pairs beautifully with just about anything—perfect as a side, topping, or even on its own! πŸ˜‹βœ¨

Gourmet Deli is serving up a delicious selection this week! Indulge in roasted plum shortcake, black peach bread and butter pudding, or Black Boy peach and star anise sweet hand pies—perfect with whipped cream or yogurt. New to the market are their Gourmet-Deli Bangers and Mash Spring Rolls. Plus, don’t miss their freshly made gherkin relish!

β˜• Exciting Giveaway Alert! β˜•

Love coffee? Here’s your chance to win a Breville Coffee Machine worth $1,200! 😍 Simply purchase any Yellow Roastery coffee beans online (you can collect at the market), and you’ll be in the draw! Don’t miss out—your perfect cup of coffee could come with a brand-new machine! β˜•βœ¨

Lothlorien Lavender and Apiary Honey have something special for every taste! Try their culinary lavender and lavender tea buds for a unique twist, or grab fresh comb honey rounds—perfect for cheese boards or breakfast. And if you love runny honey, don’t miss out on their Spring 2024 honey—get in quick before it’s gone!

Golden Mile Produce is excited to bring you more watermelons , strawberries , zucchini, eggplants, jalapeños, capsicum , gherkins, kamokamo and more.
Find us on the far side of the market (town side!). See Stephen and his latest fun shirt!


SharpAs Tool Tips

Pictured are two old-style runner bean cutters. Like all cutters, they work best when sharp, giving a clean slice rather than tearing the edges.

If you have these or any other kitchen utensils, knives, garden tools, woodwork or metalwork tools that need sharpening or reconditioning, come see me at the Redwood Market on Saturday mornings or the Marlborough Farmers' Market on Sunday mornings, or contact me directly at 027 444 5535.

Cheers, Ron
