Mains and Sides Recipe

Cashew Vegetable Fried Rice

I had a really good berry dessert planned for this last day of #FarmersMarketWeek, but someone ate my berries!  Not to worry, this Cashew Vegetable Fried Rice will quickly become a family favourite!

Cashew Vegetable Fried Rice

I usually double this recipe so there are leftovers for lunch the next day.  It is that good, that it tastes delicious even cold.

While I love all the on-farm markets in our area, our community Farmer’s Market that is held at (oddly enough) Market Square every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.  Saturday brings in the most vendors and you can buy everything from fresh eggs, honey, produce, flowers, locally made essential oils, meats, cheeses, and the list goes on and on.

Visiting the Saturday market is often a family affair, with at least one of the girls or my mom joining us. It is always very busy and like any marketplace, it is often a place where you inevitably run into someone you know.  It is nice to see little groups of family and friends spending a few minutes chit chatting while picking out the perfect produce!

Cashew Vegetable Fried Rice

We always buy at least a pound of cashews at the Saturday Market, but quite often more.  The nut vendor has the absolute best cashews I have ever eaten.  I buy the raw cashews for cooking, and the roasted & salted cashews for snacking.  Either way, they have the most rich, almost buttery flavour.  We usually break open the bag as soon as we get in the car.  

Of course, fresh carrots, broccoli and onions are plentiful at the market every week.  The beauty of this Cashew Vegetable Fried Rice though, is that you can throw in whatever veggies suit your fancy.  Cauliflower or even Brussels sprouts would be delicious too!

I often cook a big batch of brown rice and refrigerate it to use through the week.  It makes prepping a dish like this easy, which makes dinner time a breeze.  

Going to the Saturday Market almost guarantees a beautiful bunch of market flowers like these ones.  I look forward to seeing what is new, especially during the winter months when my own garden is sound asleep!

    Great for #MeatlessMonday or whenever my vegetarian friends come to visit. I especially love the crunch that the cashews provide.
