Green Plate Special
Check out our weekly Green Plate Special at the Tuesday Market. Each month we invite a local chef to be our chef-in-residence. They dream up fresh, affordable plate lunches that showcase the local, seasonal ingredients available at the CCFM. Meet a friend for lunch, or pick up dinner & take a night off from cooking. The city's top chefs shop at the Market. Each month, they also take turns cooking there too.
June 2013 | Empanada Intifada
June 18th Menu
We are loving the empanadas every Tuesday for lunch (sometimes we even eat them as a savory breakfast!) and can’t believe there are only 2 more Tuesdays to enjoy Empanada Intifada at the market. Come on out again this week and chose from their delicious selection. Have you tried their side items? Tasty poblano mac and cheese, and a fresh salad or soup are the perfect add-on!
June 11th Menu
Last week, Empanada Intifada delighted the lunch crowds with delicious baked empanadas with such fun names as “Hispanopita” (spinach with chevrve, tomatillo salsa and honey-roasted pepitas) and “Bean-a Vista Social Club” (Cuban-style black beans with citrus, fried plantain and jasmine rice) and sides of poblano-cream mac & cheese, and sesame quinoa salad. Visit Tuesday market this week to see what they’ve got in store for you!
June 4th Menu
This week we welcome Empanada Intifada to the Green Plate Special. Their tasty empanadas, served from the colorful (and solar powered) truck always delights us. Using seasonal produce and inventive combinations, for both meat and veggie lovers, lunch is a breeze in June. Wondering where else they will be parked? Check out their twitter feed to keep up with them.
