Dear Organic Feasters,
FOSTERTON FARM BAKERY
Simon and Loo have managed to slot in a short holiday break so we have to wait for another week until the breads are once again available. Next bake will be Wednesday August 2.
THIS WEEK'S SPECIALS
Although PUMPKINS are around most of the year at is at it's best at winter. The delicious sweet golden flesh of the JAP (Kent) PUMPKIN lends itself to a wide range of recipes from savoury to sweet. This week our JAP PUMPKINS is $1.50 kilo - save $1.00 per kilo.
FRUIT.
Apologies for MANDARIN shortages for start of week orders last week. Supplies now back to normal so plenty on board. Keep in mind though that the IMPERIAL MANDARINS are almost at the end of their season. Other varieties will be around, just as delicious but if you are a fan of the imperials then now is the time to get your fill. Bulk buys available and please now keep the fruit in the fridge as the skin may be prone to form mould spots.
NAVEL ORANGES continue to amaze. The flavour is fantastic - sweet and juicy. Again bulk buys best value so get the juicer going and enjoy the one of the best Vit C boosts.
CARA CARA BLOOD ORANGES very nice with their pink flesh.
RUBY GRAPEFRUIT higly recommended. Sweeter version to the YELLOW GRAPEFRUIT.
LEMONS great value - Grade A for only $3.99 kilo. Small but very juicy.
LEMONADES from Kore Farm very good. These have a softer skin to lemons and the flesh is very juicy and not as tangy as lemons.
APPLES from Forest Orchard continue to be great. Small size fruit again so ideal for the little ones. Select from GALA. PINK LADY, RED FUJI, GRANNY SMITH and GOLD DELICIOUS.
JUICING APPLES need a bit of work - priced at $2.00 kilo - will have marks and bruising which will need to be cut out. Ideal for juicing and stewing.Apple Pie, Apple Crumble - yum.
HASS AVOCADOES creamy. Arriving firm so please allow few days to ripen.

2 cups cooked brown rice
2 cups cooked and mashed pumpkin
40g feta cheese, crumbled
1-2 cloves garlic, crushed
salt and pepper to taste
Filling:
1 onion, finely diced
250g button mushrooms, sliced
3 lean rashers bacon (optional)
3 eggs
1 handful fresh basil, chopped
1 tomato, finely sliced

Preheat oven to 180°C. Lightly grease a flan dish.
In a bowl, place rice, pumpkin, feta and garlic. Mix together until all ingredients are combined, then season to taste. Spoon mixture into base of flan dish. Press down with your hands, ensuring both the base and sides have an even consistency. Refrigerate until needed.
Pan-fry onion until golden. Add mushrooms and sauté until golden. Dry-fry bacon rashers (if using) and cut into small strips, then add to onion and mushroom mixture.
Lightly beat eggs in a bowl, then fold in onion, mushrooms (and bacon) and basil. Pour egg mixture on top of rice and pumpkin base, distributing filling evenly.
Arrange tomato slices on top of flan and sprinkle with parmesan if desired. Place in middle of oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until set. Let stand for 15 minutes before cutting . Serve at room temperature with a green salad.
