Veggie Notes:

  • Red Potato – roasted, fried, boiled or steamed for salad
  • Basil -video link below for easy freezing; or freeze basil balls-food processor leaves with just enough oil to hold together the freeze TBSP scoops on a sheet pan; store in freezer baggie/container; make and freeze pesto in ice cube trays or mini cupcake papers
  • Parsley: wilted parsley? recut the ends and stand in a glass of water. Your can store it this way in the fridge or countertop (change water daily)or store wrapped in damp paper towel in a baggie, or hang to dry; can also be cleaned, dried and frozen in a baggie-pull out leaves to add to cooked dishes; minced and added to salads, sauces, and marinades; puree into dressings
  • Summer squash – yellow & zucchini – very versatile; raw, grilled, pickled, quick bread, sauté, oodles of zoodles; baked stuffed boats
  • Eggplant: grilled, roasted, braised; smaller eggplants do not need to be peeled or salted
  • Tomato – ripen from the inside out and will continue to ripen on the countertop not refrigerate; allow to ripen at room temperature for best flavor; add to sautés, sauces, salads, sandwiches
  • Cucumber – storage options so the last; salads, juice, wedges with salt and pepper; cold soup
  • Jalapeno – add to pickles; slice and freeze; the heat is in the seeds and white pith -use gloves to remove and don’t touch your eyes
  • Fresh Onion – skins are not cured; be sure to remove the tougher outer layer before cutting; tops can be used like the scallion tops sliced thin

Ratatouille – Modern ratatouille uses tomatoes as a foundation for sautéed garlic, onion, zucchini (courgette), aubergine (eggplant), bell pepper, marjoram, fennel and basil.
