It’s always an adventure when you go to the Farmer’s Market. You can find items you may have never had before, but if you want to be adventurous, ask the farmer how they would prepare the items. They grow them, they know them, and they are often very willing and happy to share their wisdom with you!
I recently did that very thing when I came across some baby summer squash. I had never had baby squash before and wasn’t sure how to prepare them. When I asked the lady from Champion Farms about them, she gave me a couple of ways that she makes them, which inspired this meal.
I had picked up some smoked sausage from DSR Farms and they were just what I needed. You can make this with smoked beef sausage or kielbasa.
This recipe doesn’t take long to make and you will absolutely love the results.
