We are SO excited about some new things we’ve been working on with the team at Roots in Mason City. The first secret we’ll let out of the bag – the menu for FRESH MARKET WEEKEND OCTOBER 24 AND 25 Chef Beto and RD Jenn have put their heads together and made some fun NEW things using local ingredients from the Market.
Starting Friday this week we will have:
NEW Apple Chutney Pork Chops – Market Boneless Pork Chops with local apples and onions and a special fusion of spices for a yummy (and easy!) take and bake supper.
NEW Chef Beto’s Pizza Sauce - with frost arriving we are saying goodbye to summer produce season. But not before preserving some of those awesome Twisted River tomatoes! Use on pizza, in stromboli, with pasta. The options are many!
Cheeseburger Soup - went fast last week. We just stocked the freezer case with a fresh batch in 32 oz. containers.
Taco Soup – is back! We'll have both 16oz and 32oz containers in the frozen case
Small restock of Chef Beto’s Cheeseburger Empanadas
Honey Mustard Turkey Tenderloin Freezer Meals
All Steak Concentrate - marinade any steak, stew meat or beef strips
Carnitas Concentrate - slow roast with chicken breast, turkey tenderloins or pork roast
Sweet and Tangy Concentrate - love this slow-cooked on a pork roast for a tangy twist on pulled pork
Fajita Concentrate - pair with a package of Fajita Strips, skirt steak or flank steak for easy Fajitas!
Chef Beto’s Ragu Balognese - we'll say goodbye to this for a while after this month so if you'd like an easy button for your next Italian dish snag some of this this weekend!
Roots Taco Seasoning - add some mexican flare to ground beef, chicken or on vegetables
Roots Ranch Seasoning - great on slow roasted vegetables or pork chops. Can also be used to make a dip or appetizer.
Seedy Granola - pair with a cup of Country View Dairy Greek Yogurt for a quick breakfast or snack
Balanced Caramel Dip - pair with some honeycrisp apples for a balanced snack
The Roots team is all about balance. Enjoying favorites while making some simple ingredient adjustments to make them healthier and more fulfilling.
