  • GOFM is MOVING!

    Starting June 27, GOFM’s Open-Air Market will be at 28th & Market St (across the street from Red Light Coffee Roasters!)

    After 3+ years at The Bryan Museum, we’re packing up and moving back across Broadway!

    This move puts us squarely in the sights of popular weekend spots like Maceo’s, Gypsy Joynt, Soul2Soul Cafe, Daiquiri Time Out & Red Light Coffee Roasters while also enabling us to better serve the neighborhoods north of Broadway.

    Our new location also lets us snuggle up to Galveston Historical Foundation’s beautifully renovated 1903 Firehouse No. 3 while remaining a stone’s throw from The Depot, where we continue to have our GOFM To-Go curbside pickups!

    **Just as with our last move, we’re grateful for the support of our community and we vow to keep the local foods + goods you love (+ more to come!) at the heart of what we do. Thank you for joining us as we navigate this new adventure!

    ***Lots of information and details are forthcoming–keep your eyes peeled and don’t hesitate to reach out to us at info@gofarmersmarket.com.

    We’ll have UTMB Physician Assistant Program’s “Healthy Living on a Budget” at GOFM!

    They’ll be doing screenings that include height, weight, blood pressure reading, glucometer reading, body mass index, and a few more stats. Their goal is to help the community have a better idea of how nutrition and exercise play a role in their health & offer simple modifications to help people take control of their health.

  • Pressure Cooker Osso Buco

    Pressure Cooker Osso Buco

    INGREDIENTS

    FOR THE OSSO BUCO

    • All-purpose flour, for dredging

    • 4 sprigs fresh thyme

    • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary

    • 1 bay leaf

    • 2 ½ to 3 pounds (4 pieces) osso buco (bone-in veal shanks), patted dry with a paper towel

    • 2 teaspoons kosher salt

    • Freshly ground black pepper

    • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

    • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

    • 1 onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

    • 2 medium carrots, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

    • 1 celery stalk, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

    • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

    • ½ teaspoon tomato paste

    • ½ cup dry white wine

    • ½ cup chicken or beef stock, preferably homemade

    • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes, drained

    FOR THE GREMOLATA

    • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh parsley

    • Finely grated zest of 1/2 lemon

    • 2 garlic cloves, minced

    • Pinch of kosher salt, plus more as needed

    Steps

    1. Spread flour in a shallow bowl or plate. Tie the thyme sprigs, rosemary sprigs, and bay leaf together with kitchen twine.

    2. Season the veal with the salt and pepper to taste, and then dredge it in the flour to coat all sides. Using the sauté function on high if available, heat the oil in the pressure cooker. Add the osso buco in batches (do not crowd the pot), and brown it well on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Altogether this will take 20 to 30 minutes to get the pieces nicely golden all over. Transfer the osso buco pieces to a plate as they brown.

    3. Turn the sauté function down to medium if available, or unplug the pot for a minute to let it cool down slightly. Add the butter to the pressure cooker and let it melt; then stir in the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 8 minutes. Stir in the garlic and tomato paste, and cook until the garlic is fragrant and the tomato paste has darkened, another 1 to 2 minutes.

    4. Add the wine to the pot to deglaze it, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Stir in the stock and tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Nestle the osso buco pieces into the pot, then top with the herb bundle. Cover and cook on high pressure for 40 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally.

    5. Transfer the osso buco to a plate and, using the sauté function, simmer the sauce, stirring it often, until it is thick and reduced, 10 to 15 minutes. Let the sauce settle for at least 10 minutes, and then spoon any excess fat off the top.

    6. While the sauce is settling, make the gremolata: In a small bowl, stir together the parsley, lemon zest, garlic, and salt.

    7. To serve, transfer the osso buco to a serving platter, spoon the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the gremolata, with more on the side.
