Celebrating FiftyNorth: Senior Saturday
Our Senior Saturday celebration held on June 20th was fabulous! We joined our friends at FiftyNorth in celebration of their landmark 50th anniversary.
The celebration is made even brighter thanks to the generous support of the Northfield Rotary Club, who awarded Riverwalk Market Fair a $500 grant. We put this gift directly into the hands of our community by distributing $5 tokens to seniors. These tokens were used to purchase fresh, locally-grown produce from our market vendors.
Check out this recipe from the FiftyNorth 50th Anniversary Cookbook
Eggplant Casserole (or Ratatouille Provencale)
8 servings
This ends up looking in color like a Braque still life.
Put in a deep skillet or heavy casserole:
1/3 cup olive oil
Saute until golden:
3/4 cup thinly sliced olives
2 cloves garlic
Remove the onions and garlic from the casserole and combine in layers with:
4 julienned green peppers
2 1/2 cups peeled, diced eggplant
3 cups zucchini in 1/2 inch slices
2 cups peeled, seeded, quartered tomatoes
Add to each layer:
Salt and pepper
Sprinkle the top with olive oil
Simmer, covered over very low heat 35 to 45 minutes. Uncover and continue to heat 10 minutes longer to reduce the amount of liquid. Serve hot or cold.
"I put the casserole dish in the oven set at 350 and keep an eye on it for 35-45 minutes. Sprinkle the top with parmesan cheese. Even the carnivores liked it." - Submitted by FiftyNorth member Donna May
