CSA: Week Ten
We are getting used to having all of these fresh vegetables around and making good use of them. The presence of a few fresh ingredients on Friday turned a normal make-your-own-sandwich night into a gourmet sandwich bar—arugula provides a nice bite in place of lettuce on any sandwich, as do chopped scallions, which are great raw for those of us that like onion flavor but not the strength/after-breath of a red onion. It's also been great having eggplant around in abundance, since it's one of Dinka's favorites and something I've finally come around on. In the past week, we've had an Armenian mixed salad of grilled eggplant, peppers and tomatoes, a savory tart with eggplant, tomatoes and smoked mozzarella (who knew that existed and was so delicious?), and another round of grilled eggplant with a tomato-shallot vinaigrette.
We are being spoiled by the bounty of late summer, which continued with week ten's share:
- lettuce
- green peppers
- eggplant
- yellow onions
- swiss chard (above)
- cucumbers
- basil
- cherry tomatoes
- peaches (below)
