This Week at the Farm: 04 August 08

Another week of fresh food and fun at the farm. This week we have sweet corn, tomatoes, eggplant, summer squash, onions and garlic. Freshly dug, absolutely delicious red potatoes, chard, maybe some green beans, lots of carrots (with juicing and other specials), broccoli, cabbage, arugula, parsley, basil including lemon basil, sweet gypsy, italian frying and other sweet peppers, anaheim (my home town), poblano, serrano and many other mild and hot chiles and of course STRAWBERRIES.

I think we’re having a special on STRAWBERRIES as I am being told there are a lot of them today.

We also have a few eggs and the chili jams, honey from the field, chipotles and other dried chiles.

Hope to see you.

EASY RECIPE OF THE WEEK is my baked Ratatouille:

Onion, garlic, eggplant, zummer squash, chile and sweet pepper, basil, and maybe parsley, tomatoes.

Chop everything up and put into a baking dish with some olive oil. Bake at about 375, stirring every so often, until everything is tender and juicy, about an hour or so. I cover it for part of the time and then uncover. Parmesan on top. That’s it! note: sauteing onions first is nice.

Thanks,
Evie Truxaw
