Ricciuti’s

We were thrilled to hold a cooking demo on Mother’s Day 2008 at the Olney Farmers Market. We featured rhubarb from Our House Organic Farm in Brookeville, MD. This farm is located about 3 miles from our restaurant. Every winter I meet with Ed Gould, a volunteer who manges the farm. We decide what crops they will plant for our restaurant. Our first demo at the farmers market featured rhubarb, strawberries, some local goat cheese and arugula. I made a rhubarb strawberry pie, rhubarb mint salsa, crostini with goat cheese and local greens, and arugula wrapped in prosciutto. The rhubarb was a big hit, since most people have never cooked with it. You can find the recipes on our web site for the pie and salsa. I will write more about the farm and have some pictures soon.
