Farmer's Market Finds on a Simple Plate!

A few cool photos I took of some great stuff I got recently at the Nyack farmer's market, and how the veggies were applied to dinner!

These are candy cane beets. I roasted them and served them along side some other cool veggies, for a vegetarian feast.

King Oyster Mushrooms. Per the shroom lady's advice, I sliced these into "scallops" and browned them very quickly in a hot pan with butter. They acted as a non-meat meat that night. 

Oyster mushrooms that i sauteed and served as a garnish over a root veggie soup. They made it VERY fancy while staying super earthy. 

Here's the plate  where the above mentioned beets and mushroom "scallops" ended up. No fancy seasonings, just salt, pepper, a little thyme, and the natural flavors of the vegs. I served it all up with some sauteed spinach and the beet tops! (Don't waste your greens people! if beet greens are too bitter, throw them in with greens you like and you will never know the difference).
