What an awesome day we had at the Hazel Food Market this past Saturday! We had a special French Festival to commemorate Bastille day. The exhibitors dressed up and added special French cuisine to their menus. We sold French leak tarts and French onion soup for the occasion. Our tables was empty by the end of the day… Thank you to everyone who supported us there, and to Retha who made the day possible! If you haven’t diarised the Hazel Food Market on your weekly to-do-list, you are missing out on excellent food and great ambiance! Fortunately the market is being held every Saturday from 8:00 until 14:00. For those of you who couldn’t make it, here is our special French onion soup recipe:
6 onions
3 carrots
2 potatoes
3 celery stalks
1 litre vegetable stock
butter for frying
flour to thicken the soup
Salt and pepper to taste
Chop the vegetables and fry the onions in the butter until golden brown
Add the rest of the veggies and the stock
Simmer for 30 – 40 minutes
Add 2 tablespoons of flour to a bit a water and use to thicken the soup
Add salt and pepper to taste and liquidise
Serve with bread and butter and play some french music!
