several hot peppers - any peppers that are not green bell peppers are HOT! salsa. spicy tomato sauce for pasta. curry. chile. hot sauce.
2 green peppers
1 little eggplant
Cipollini onions. These are pungent when you're cutting them up, but they are incredibly sweet when roasted or grilled. fancy cooks will make them with a balsamic glaze. I was roasting a whole chicken the other night and threw in halves of cipollinis, carrot and potato chunks in the bottom of the roasting pan with some salt, canola oil,lemon peel, and white wine. yum.
1 Lb yellow beans. Chris made an awesome sautee of these with garlic, then doused with white wine, lemon juice, and a pat of butter. He served it with grated parmigiano and some chilli flakes. yum! blanched beans can be thrown in a potato salad. There is always the beans and slivered almonds dish. These beans go well with garlic, sesame oil, a little soy, and maybe some heat. Blanched beans in a cold salad are nice, too - a simple balsamic and oil dressing or a dressing to go along with fresh chopped mint goes well.
1 pint cherry tomatoes. I like using these sliced in half on a pizza or in the mix for a burrito. They are pretty good for a chopped salad. Just season with salt and pepper and toss with oil and basil
a couple heirloom tomatoes. these should be reserved for slicing. my personal favorite is an open face toast with goat cheese spread on good bread or a bagel, these tomatoes sliced, S & P, Balsamic and olive oil. There is the always exceptional BLT. And the Mayo and tomato sandwich. Why is mayonnaise so good? Of course, these are great just sliced and dressed as is or with some slices of nice mozzarella. Tuna melts or grilled cheese and tomato are quite good with these tasty tomatoes.
4 Lbs red slicing tomatoes. perfect for the above, or a fresh chopped salsa. I like to dice and onion and a hot pepper fine, salt and cover with lime juice to mellow them, then chop fresh cilantro (hello grocery store) and finally the tomatoes. perfect for chips, quesadillas, burritos, etc.
bag of basil. don't forget the excellent combo of zucchini and basil - in a frittata, risotto, or pasta.
mini-bunch of scallions. great for the salsa. great with eggs. just enough to eek out a garnish for each share.
1 head lettuce. same. perhaps you can make a round of BLTs.
lots of zucchini, yellow squash, patty pan - sautee, grill. add to everything. don't listen to your mate when they ask you to "lay off the zucchini" :) this happened in my own kitchen! I kept it to thin half moons of the yellow squash and the dish turned out awesome.
Thanks so much everyone! We really appreciate your support. Thank you for waiting so patiently for these descriptions, Tuesday members. We are busy busy busy. farming and living.
Enjoy all the summery weather!
