Veggie Notes:
- Sweet Corn – grilled in the husk, cornbread, chowder, freeze
- Red Norland potato – scrub, no need to peel, all purpose -roasted, fried, boiled, mashed, salad, soup
- 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, “meatballs”, eggplant “bacon”, baba ghanoush, stir-fry
- 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
- 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
- Kohlrabi– “cabbage turnip” must be peeled; raw as snack with dip or in salads, potato kohlrabi soup, roasted, pickled, curries
Ratatouille – Modern ratatouille uses tomatoes as a foundation for sautéed garlic, onion, zucchini (courgette), aubergine (eggplant), bell pepper, marjoram, fennel and basil.
