LZ Farmers Market Offering Music, Fresh Produce and Fun

The Farmers Market is held every Friday from 3 to 7 p.m.

The weather didn’t cooperate at last week’s Lake Zurich Farmers Market and lead to the cancellation of Face N Time, a rock/blues/Motown band.

The band is back this week to perform at the market at Paulus Park, 200 S. Rand Road.

Friday’s lineup includes vendors that have become favorites since the Farmers Market opened earlier this summer like Jimmy’s Bag ‘O Donuts. There’s also a lot of fresh produce.

1. Place tomatillos in a nonreactive saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil. Simmer until tomatillos soften and begin to burst, about 10 minutes.

2. Drain tomatillos and place in a food processor or blender (you can also use a hand hold blender -- and do it right in the pot) with onion, garlic, jalapeno peppers, cilantro, salt and pepper. Blend to desired consistency.
