9/7/2016 | School has started, and summer break is over. The summer crops, however, are still going strong. This week we are going to use our farm-fresh produce in Vietnamese Spring Rolls. Traditional spring rolls incorporate raw vegetables and delicately cooked seafood and served with Peanut Dipping Sauce. Harvest Moon's pea shoots, sweet peppers, and ginger get a chance to be in the spotlight in this refreshing summer dish. For the sauce, we are using peanut butter from bon Sweet Treats. Visit the farm market at Duke Farms (1112 Dukes Parkway West, Hillsborough, NJ) on Thursdays from 3 pm to sundown for your ingredients.
