Customers at the Alexandria Farmer’s Market got a really tasty treat on Tuesday, April 17, 2018 when Quincy Vidrine demonstrated a recipe using fresh sugar snap peas from the market. The peas were locally grown in Allen parish. Also featured in this dish was local honey and local pecans. The sweetness of the honey, spice of the red pepper flakes along with the crunch of the pecans made this recipe a “favorite” of the farmer’s market customers. Several people said that “this was the best recipe you have done so far” and “this recipe is my favorite!” As these fresh veggies start becoming more available at markets and in your home gardens, don’t be afraid to be adventurous in using new recipes to prepare them.
