the green & gold market is open saturday
The Green & Gold Community Garden market (south campus, University Farm) is open this Saturday from 11:30am-12:30pm; plenty of time to pick up some kale, Swiss chard, rhubarb, green onions, haskaps (already!) and some beautiful lettuces—green and red oak leaf, Batavia, green and red butterleaf and a crisp green leaf lettuce called Muir. When it’s this fresh, lettuce keeps extremely well in the crisper drawer so you can plan for luscious salads all week. Tuesday night markets start July 8. First time visiting? Find the map at www.greengoldgarden.com.

recipe of the week: chef caputo’s risi e bisi
Fresh peas are at the farmers’ markets right now. It’s a short season; make this easy and delicious Venetian classic to take advantage of their tender sweetness. Don’t have guanciale? You could use prosciutto, mild pancetta, capocollo or even diced ham, or leave out completely.
