Ideas on what to make with my farmer's market finds?
Oh, I love fresh produce! :)
This is what I got - (all fresh and bea-tew-tiful...)
About 8 roma tomatoes, head of cauliflower, a bananna pepper, a large onion, a zucchini, a yellow squash, a bunch of potatoes, and 2 ears of corn.
At home, I have a bunch of miscelaneous ingredients, beef, chicken, sausage, and rice. I'd like to use beef and rice, and not cook on the grill tonight, and I probably want to save the corn for tomorrow, but I'm open to suggestions.
No walls of text please, just a few simple recipies, especially ones with tomatoes - because there are a lot of those.
Thank you very much!
Answers:
For the tomotoes, try bruschetta...this is our fave recipe:
6-8 roma tomatoes (depending on size), seeded and diced small
1/2 of a medium red onion, diced small
3 cloves minced garlic (we love garlic!!)
about a quarter cup olive oil (depends on the consistency you want)
drizzle of balsamic vinegar (to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
fresh chopped basil if desired...
The amounts needed will vary depending on how much you want to make...we love it so we make a huge batch but you can make any size batch you want.
For the beef and rice:
Brown the beef and the remaining red onion, add garlic if desired, adding the banana pepper, minced...cook until meat is brown and veggies are tender. Toss with some cooked rice, fresh corn (off the cob) if desired, or canned/frozen corn if you want to save the fresh ears, and a package of taco or ranch seasoning. Put in a casserole dish, top with cheese, and bake at 350 about 20 minutes or so.
Good luck!
