What I Got: Week 12
Produce arrangement and photo this week courtesy of my very talented sister
yellow cubanelle peppers, green acorn squash, rainbow chard, golden gem watermelon, red tomatoes, green beans
mixed yummy peppers (yellow, orange and red), fortune plums, baby eggplants, gala apples, red potatoes
Since I’m posting this in much later, here’s a recipe I made with the baby eggplant and completely forgot to document! Stuffed Baby Eggplant from Tyler Florence. My eggplant were a little too baby-sized to make this effective, but it was still quite tasty.
What I Made: Green Beans with Shallots
I apologize to all 7 of my faithful blog readers (you know who you are!). I have neglected the blog over the past several weeks, but I haven’t neglected making lots of delicious food! This post is only the first of many as I try to clear this backlog of recipes I’ve made. That means you’ll see a new post almost every day!
This is a perfect dish to break back into the blog – when I think of simple side dishes, this is my go to – green beans that still have a springy crunch, tossed with sweet shallots, olive oil and butter. The recipe comes together quickly: blanch the beans for a minute and a half, shocking immediately after in ice water. Caramelize the shallots in butter and olive oil, then toss the beans to reheat.
What I Got: Week 10
Green beans, yellow straightneck squash (2), cantaloupe, bicolor sweet corn (6)
Peaches (5), Yukon gold potatoes, tomatoes, apples (3), red cylindra beets
