Farmer’s Market to Table

Take your “Farm to Table” lifestyle to the next level by organizing a “Farmer’s Market to Table Party!” Invite your friends to a local farmer’s market and encourage everyone to buy fresh ingredients to make their favorite summer dishes. Afterwards, send everyone home to cook; then regroup that night with delicious treats for everyone to share. For a fun way to keep the day’s theme going, greet guests with glasses of KORBEL Brut-Made with Organically Grown Grapes. Because when your food and drinks are made with care, you really can taste the difference! For some pre-party inspiration, check out these veggie-filled recipes.

Tomato and Squash Gratin

5 to 6 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 to 4 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil
15 to 20 whole basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Place one layer of sliced squash in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Top with a layer of sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and a few basil leaves. Generously drizzle olive oil over everything and sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top. Repeat in the same order until you run out of vegetables. The top layer should be tomatoes.
  • Add a final toss of parmesan and a generous coating of breadcrumbs and more olive oil. Bake until everything is soft, bubbly and brown on top (about 30 to 40 minutes). Serve as a side dish with whatever you’re grilling or with a bean salad or pasta dish for a complete meal.
