MISSION COMPLETED: MARKETS ARE OPEN Gastroposters sure make the most of their markets. That much was clear from all the fresh food photos you sent us for this week’s mission. From beets to local meats, Vancouver’s farmers’ markets can’t be beat! Twitter handles in blue and Instagram in brown.

YOUR NEXT MISSION: SWEET AND SAVOURY Jodi Hill

Red and golden beet salad flower with feta cheese.
Beautiful beets at the Salt Spring Island farmers’ market.
The age-old question as to whether you’re a sweet or salty person begs a far more overlooked question: why not have both? This week, we want you to celebrate your sweet and savoury tooth with a meal that makes use of these two tastes. Maybe it’s a sweet and sour sauce on your chicken, an ice-cold soft drink to wash down a burger or the addition of some bacon to baked treats. Whatever your sweet and savoury combo is, show us why it’s unfair to pick sides when it comes to the world’s two greatest seasonings.

Did you know that lentils are one of Canada’s top exports? Saskatchewan grows 95% of the country’s lentils, and Canada is the world’s largest producer of lentils. Versatile, easy to cook and wildly nutritious, it’s time to laud this wonderful legume. Not only are they easy to cook with, lentils offer an endless number of possibilities in the kitchen for recipes both savoury and sweet. If you need some inspiration for completing the sweet component of this week’s mission, try making chocolate chip lentil cookies. These awesome cookies will impress everyone at your table. The kids won’t know they have a secret ingredient, they’ll just know they taste good. But you’ll know they’re packed with healthy lentil purée. For this recipe and more ideas for using lentils in sweet and savoury dishes, visit fundelentil.ca. If you use lentils to make something for this week’s mission, let us know by adding the hashtag #fundelentil to your #gastropost. We’ll feature some of your ideas in next week’s paper!
