Aug. 5th, 2006 05:52 pmThis weeks CSA veggies:
Sweet corn
Leeks
Hot peppers
Cherry tomatoes (pint)
Cape gooseberries
Basil
Tomatoes (all you can eat)
Garden eggs (I ended up with another Chinese eggplant)
The eggplant needs to be eaten soon, and I keep getting basil fully intending to do *something* with it but failing miserably. With all the tomatoes though, I think probably the easiest thing to do is get a hunk of mozzarella and some really good olive oil to make a caprese salad. I could make pesto I suppose, but I don't actually like it all that much. I've been picking up yellow cherry tomatoes, which have an interesting taste that's less acidic than the red variety I usually get; those go straight from container to mouth, no recipe suggestions needed. Mmmm.
Any ideas on what to do with the gooseberries other than eat them out of hand? There aren't a whole lot, so I don't think jelly or anything like that is realistic.
