I have recently added going to the farmers’ market on Naschmarkt to my Saturday routine. i don’t have to tell you that picking up fresh produce from the market beats picking up limp and unattractive fruits and vegetables from the supermarket any ol’ day! asparagus is still in season for, i would say, one more week, so i bought pounds of thin green and white one from a favourite stand from Burgenland, i picked up two kinds of pretty radishes (the white long “icicle” have a nice kick and were only 10 cents a piece!), elderberry flowers (for syrup or to dip them in dough and bake them), swiss chard and the first beets of the season, they tasted glorious, roasted in the oven with olive oil and just a spritz of lemon. and i only consider it a successful visit to the market if i find and buy at least one new (to me) product. this time it was Mizuna which tastes great cut into a salad or fried for a bit and added to stir-fries.
i roasted and steamed some of the purchases for dinner:
