’Tis the season to celebrate—with food! We have everything you’ll need to put together a Christmas celebration for the ages, including a fantastic selection of centerpieces at our Butcher counter and an abundance of ready-to-eat dishes at our Prepared Food counter.
Whether your feast calls for a standing rib roast, free-roaming turkey or goose, spiral-cut ham, beef tenderloin, a crown roast of pork, or a leg of lamb, your centerpiece is sure to shine given our selection of top-quality antibiotic-free and humanely raised meats.
Planning your picture-perfect holiday feast? Let us make things easier for you with our selection of head-turning roasts to serve as the centerpiece of your meal, from classic beauties like a standing rib roast or spiral-cut ham, to a gorgeous all-natural bone-in leg of lamb.
We take the guesswork out of your holiday shopping by carrying only top-quality meat, all humanely and responsibly raised and free of any added hormones or antibiotics. And if you’re not sure exactly how to roast your centerpiece to perfection, our butchers are here to help, with their expert recommendations on the best way to prepare the holiday roast of your choosing.
It’s that time of year again! We always look forward to family and friends gathering together for a Thanksgiving feast, and for many of us, finding the perfect centerpiece for the dinner table is an important part of the tradition. Luckily, Union Market is here to help with our great selection of humanely raised, antibiotic-free, local turkeys.
Our butchers will be taking orders for fresh, never-frozen, uncooked turkeys through Friday, November 16th. We accept orders in person at our butcher counter or by phone, so stop by or call your nearest Union Market today to reserve your turkey.
On brisk on autumn day, there’s nothing better than a bowl of al dente potato gnocchi napped with a lush butternut squash sauce. Redolent of sage and nutmeg, dusted with pecorino Romano cheese, and garnished with toasty pumpkin seeds, this seasonal pasta is filled with warm, satisfying flavors.
The smoky, meaty bacon, the crisp Bosc pear, the hearty leaves of kale and Brussels sprouts, and the crunchy topping of seasoned panko breadcrumbs all work together with a tangy yogurt dressing to make a quick and delectable salad that can easily take center stage on your fall table. READ MORE
Move over, Manchego! There’s a new kid on the block when it comes to buttery Spanish cheeses, and its bright orange color and unique flavor are sure to be a hit. If you’re new to Mahón, now’s your chance to try it—it’s currently on special for $3.00 off per lb!
As Mahón gains popularity in the US, more people are catching on to its appeal. Here at Union Market, we like to describe the flavor of Mahón as a cross between caramel-y Gouda and classic cheddar. In the words of esteemed cheese authority Steven Jenkins, Mahón tastes “the way Gouda wishes it could taste.”
With Labor Day just around the corner, it may feel like summer is winding down, but the good news is that summer produce is still in full swing here at Union Market!
We’ve got lots of local peak-season produce available, from peaches and nectarines to corn, peppers, and tomatoes. Our emphasis on stocking local produce whenever possible means that you get the freshest, most delicious fruits and vegetables that we can find. One prime example is our mixed pints of organic heirloom and cherry tomatoes—currently on special for $1.00 off per pint.
Summer tomatoes are just starting to come in here in the Northeast, and if you’re looking for something to do with them beyond simply slicing them and eating them in a salad (as delicious as that is!), try this delectable tomato tarte tatin.
Our summery, savory variation on the classic French apple tart uses a store-bought puff pastry crust, so it’s is a cinch to make. The natural sweetness of the tomatoes gets a boost from a hint of caramel, and a lovely savory depth from a dash of vinegar, some ground pepper, and a sprinkling of fresh thyme.
Summer berries need so little help to make them shine, and we think this simple and elegant French clafoutis is the perfect vehicle for their intense, fruity sweetness.
Half-custard and half-cake, clafoutis is a breeze to make, cooks in less than half an hour, and is light enough to justify adding it to your regular baking rotation this summer.
