Recipe from the Farmer's Market Today

Below is the recipe that Theo and I had with us at the farmer's market today for Nutrition Month.  I had this recipe in a previous Nutrishus Newsletter, so you may have seen it already.  I also put in an order for the Pulse cookbooks so I hope to have some to hand out soon!
