Last Hayden Market of Season + Harvest Fest 10/28

Shop sweet Fall abundance this weekend, Market Customers! 

Greens, fall fruits, garlic, tomatoes, and other vegetables are still abundant at the Market! And, because of cooler nights, they are oh so sweet and juicy. You don’t want to miss the cranberries from Killarney Organic Farms! They’ll freeze nicely for Thanksgiving cranberry sauce!

The flowers are still blooming in lovely colors, but they won’t last much longer. However, our vendors have all sorts of fall and winter decorations, like corn stalks, gourds, bouquets for drying, eucalyptus, and more.

Although this is the last Hayden Market of the season, we will be taking our final Market of the summer season to Riverstone on Saturday, October 28th. Wear your costumes and join us for some seasonal revelry!

Gouda Mushroom Mac

This creamy deliciousness uses local mushrooms and veggies

Course: Appetizer, Main Course, Snack

Cuisine: American

Keyword: cheese, mac and cheese, mushrooms, noodles

Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

• 3 cups heavy cream
• 1 lb gouda, grated
• 1/2 medium onion, minced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 jalapeno, trimmed and minced
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp Tabasco sauce or other hot sauce
• 1 lb oyster mushrooms, sliced
• 1 cup dry noodles of choice (even gluten free!)
• 3 cups water
• sea salt
• extra virgin olive oil

Instructions

1. Place a sauce pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the jalapeno and continue cooking for a minute or two. Add the garlic and saute until fragrant. Add the mushrooms and cook until soft, 7-10 minutes.

2. Pour the cream into the pan and bring to a simmer. Heat until it reaches 170℉, then reduce heat to low. Begin whisking in the cheese, one handful at a time. Whisk constantly until all the cheese is added and melted. Remove from the heat and stir in the Worcestershire sauce and hot sauce until thoroughly incorporated.

3. In a separate saucepan, over high heat, bring 3 cups of well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, return to a boil, and cook for 7 minutes or until al dente. Stir occasionally.

4. Strain the noodles, add the cheese sauce, and mix to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot. Enjoy!
