Recipe Ideas
instead of an Official Recipe
1.) Make a couple of salads. Chop up a Gypsy pepper and of
course some tomatoes for one of them and just tomatoes
for the other one or two.
2.) Steam up the beans for one or two meals. No need to chop.
Steam whole and hold on to the “handle” (stem)
to eat. No need for a fork!
3.) Steam or boil the corn just until it’s heated through
so the crispness remains. Then take it off the cob and mix
with any leftover squash you may have and eat or stuff into
a tortilla.
4.) Make oven fries: Cut in fry-like shapes. Cook on an oiled
cookie sheet until kind of crispy on outside and soft
on inside. Make enough to heat some up for breakfast, with
or w/out eggs.
5.) Boil and mash up some of the potatoes. Saute any leftover
green onions from last week and stir them into the potatoes
after they are all mashed up. Any leftover chard? Add it to
mashed potatoes.
6.) Get some cottage cheese or yogurt and mix it with the
melon.
7.) Have a seed spitting contest with the seeds of the watermelons.
Explain to the children that all watermelons used to have
seeds.
8.) Have fun and eat simply with these delicious, fresh vegetables/
fruits.

EGGS---Our chickens are starting to lay their
eggs! Hooray. These beautiful and delicious eggs are available
at the Farm Stand. Better watch out, though: the customers
at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market would take them all if
we'd let them. You all get priority! Come check them out and
see what a really fresh egg looks and tastes like.
Calling all loyal CSA members. We would love
to put your recipes in the Menu. If you have anything that
you'd like to share, please e-mail me at evie@tierravegetables.com
and most likely your recipe (or comment) will make its way
to this little Menu.
