  Got Your Greens is the man to see at the White Rock true farmers market about some serious greens. I was shown a very tasty white Hakurei Turnip. Also know as White Globe or Tokyo turnips.

Garlic Spotted Prawns with Zara’s Pasta

Garlic Spotted Prawns with Zara’s ...

This sets them up and makes a nice crisp texture when cooking in butter. I add a touch of vermouth to some chopped tomato, garlic and parsley with a few heaping tablespoons of garlic butter. Some fresh al’dente pasta hand...
