YOUR MISSION COMPLETED: A TIME TO GRILL
Let the barbecuing begin! Gastroposters had no trouble getting the grill going for this week’s
mission. From burgers to bacon-wrapped scallops, you were game to cook many delicious
foods over an open flame. On these pages, Twitter handles are in blue and Instagram in brown.

Everything is better when grilled, especially when
wrapped in prosciutto. Prosciutto-wrapped asparagus
is one of the easiest and most delicious sides.

NEXT MISSION:
MARKETS ARE OPEN
Ding ding ding! It’s officially the time of
year where we ring in the opening of all
the wonderful food markets you can take
stock of in our fine city. This week, we
want you to celebrate this fact by sharing
a meal using the beautiful ingredients
found at farmers’ markets. Perhaps you’ll
share bright produce or a snack from a
unique vendor, or maybe you’ll pay a visit
to a restaurant that takes pride in cooking
only what’s fresh. No matter the method,
make it your mission to show us just how
magnificent your local market is.
“My crudité-style niçoise salad is my favourite salad to make after a
trip to the farmer’s market!” Gastroposter Justine Celina Maguire says.

Always great to share a
fabulous dinner with family
Nicola Irving and her husband Alan are
Alberta pork producers who run Irvings
Farm Fresh, a market staple in Edmonton.
“We’re at farmers’ markets year-round,”
Nicola explains. “The customers get to know
us, hear about our farm and the food. They
get to feel connection to where their food
is coming from.” She says you get to know
people who come by your stall. “We make
friends, it’s not always just customers.”
If you’re looking to enjoy a market fresh
meal this week, Nicola shares her perfect
farmers’ market meal idea. “I’d pick a pork
chop or a bacon chop — we make a cured
pork chop, so we call it a bacon chop. It’s
really good on the barbecue. Right now, I’d
go for some fresh asparagus form Edgar’s
Farms. When in season, it’s just perfect.
Add to that some baby potatoes fresh out
of the ground, and that would be my meal.”
If you’re enjoying local ingredients in
your #gastropost this week, make sure
to include the #tasteab tag for an extra
chance to be in the paper!
