October 21, 2024 Back to Warm Weather Eating by Linda Dansbury
Broccoli and cauliflower may be around in small quantities for another week or so. The quality this year was the best ever. Unfortunately, after several years of misfiring, we reduced the amount of plants for this year so we could focus on a good yield from a smaller patch. And of course this was the year with the best weather for the plants (as long as we could irrigate them regularly).
We are back to really warm weather so eating a little lighter again.
Romaine, sweet pepper, hot pepper, onion, garlic, herbs - made lettuce wraps, using ground pork, Thai style. A very simple and healthy meal. Romaine leaves are perfect for lettuce wraps.
Peppers, onions, kale, Swiss chard, garlic- used the rest of the pound of ground pork in a stir fry - Kale Rice Bowl- that I make frequently, but I change up the veggies based on what is available.
Sweet peppers, edamame (frozen during the season), onion, slivered kale, broccoli - made an Asian style pasta salad. Again, this is another dish that the veggies can be changed up based on what is available. Pasta isn't often paired with an Asian dressing, but this was so delicious - the dressing has soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, grated ginger, and toasted sesame oil.
