WHAT’S COOKING:
Coconut-Braised
Collard Greens

Collard greens are under-appreciated outside the South. Hoosiers often think of them as long-cooked in bacon or ham fat. But in fact, collard greens cook quickly and achieve a silky texture that is luxurious! Give them a try! (Get Recipe).

 

MUSIC AT THE MARKET:
Combustible Dust

Combustible Dust (aka Dustin McKinney), is influenced by American folk traditions, Brazilian music, songs from Spain, Eastern Europe, and Louisiana Creole. He is a music teacher as well as a singer and instrumentalist. Our musicians volunteer to perform at the Market, so tips are much appreciated!
