In lieu of our regular Eatin’ Fresh! this week, FoBoBlo would like to offer up an idea for what to make with some of the goods you can get at the FoBo Farmers’ Market, specifically, Heirloom Tomato Gazpacho. Yes, “cold tomato soup.” Although if you’ve ever had it, you know just how ridiculous it is to call this refreshing, slightly spicy dish merely cold tomato soup. This isn’t Campbells, this isn’t Heinz. This is fantastic, home made, easy and quick gazpacho. The time of year where this dish is in style will be ending quick, so click through to check out a tasty looking recipe, then head on over to the FoBo Farmers’ market today and pick up all the goods you need.

The Blueberry Hill Vegetables stand sells 100% organic noms grown at a local farm less than an hour and half’s drive out of the District. (And we all know how great local eating is for the environment!) Don’t let the name Blueberry mislead you, they deal primarily in veggies — unless you’re with the whole science crowd and consider tomatoes to be fruits.
A few of their more delicious looking items were the swiss chard, cherry and cocktail tomatoes, dandelion greens, celery, basil, peppers, celery, onions, and garlic.
But there was one item that really stood out above the rest. Although it’s something most people “know” about, it’s hard not to be surprised at how different these are from the grocery-store-variety when you actually see and hold a real one in your own hands. These are plump and firm, deceptively dense, meaty, and shaped so uniquely that they’re sometimes called “ugly tomatoes.” And right now is the best time to get them.
