Subject: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: LilyFestre Date: 27 Jun 06 - 05:05 PM It won't be long before we will have an abundance of fresh vegetables from the summer garden. What are some of your favorite recipes for all those summer veggies? Fruits? Do you do any canning? Make your own jam? I'd love to hear what you have to share! I'll be posting some of my own favorites soon. Michelle |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 06 - 06:52 PM I've got some Roma tomatoes in. I plan to eat them, probably with either salt or balsamic vinegar, but maybe with bacon and lettuce on sourdough bread all slathered with mayo. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: bobad Date: 27 Jun 06 - 07:09 PM We are just winding down this season's asparagus bounty, we've been eating it several times a week for nearly 2 months now. We steam it and serve with freshly squeezed lemon, broil or grill it, stir fry with garlic and ginger and have it cold, dressed with a garlic vinaigrette. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 06 - 07:25 PM Last summer the city's Code Enforcement came 'round in response to a complaint that we had noxious weeds over 12 inches high in our backyard. Turned out to be about our aspargus plants...didn't hurt any that the officer who came had a maiden name of O'Neil and recognized the photo of the Cliffs of Moher over our mantle and had been raised on the South Side of Chicago amidst the Irish there.... |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Bobert Date: 27 Jun 06 - 07:42 PM Well, well, well... We've put up, ahhhhh, let's see, 7 pints of beets and another 7 pints of pickled beets... And been eatin' lots of 'um along with lots of fresh spinich... We've blanched and froze a dozen er so bags of spinich, as well a several bags of peas... As fir garden recipes... Nuthin beats a fresh salad with either lettuce or spinich or both with fresh onions from the garden and Costco tomatoes until we start gettin' some real one's of our own... By then the lettuce and spinich will have gone to seed... But we'll get another crop of lettuce and spinch in the fall and still have some tomatoes, as well as cukes and pole beans hangin' 'round and that will be more fun... Then the salads will be complete and 100% from the garden... BTW folks, it's okay to put out yer squash seed on July 1st with out havin' to worry about that worm that egets in 'um when you plant 'um earlier... His cycle will have passed by then and so you won't have yer squash plants givin' out after 6 weeks or so.... Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Rapparee Date: 27 Jun 06 - 08:41 PM Try a BST (in honor of MOTHER of course) using spinach instead of lettuce. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Bee-dubya-ell Date: 27 Jun 06 - 08:57 PM I've developed a fondness for this simple zucchini recipe: Coarsely grate as much zucchini as you can stand the idea of eating in one meal into a mixing bowl. Add a couple handfuls of crushed saltine crackers. Add enough eggs to make a mixture that more or less holds together when you pick up a handful of it. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into a frying pan, deep-fryer or whatever you usually fry in. Cook until golden brown. If you're averse to fried foods, try microwaving. I haven't, but it'll probably work. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Sorcha Date: 27 Jun 06 - 11:38 PM Four actually |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Sorcha Date: 28 Jun 06 - 12:35 AM Sorry, should have put a line between them. Will see if I can get a clone to do it. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Desert Dancer Date: 28 Jun 06 - 12:47 AM Oh, good! I was wondering about the ranch dressing on top of the mayo on top of the dressing! |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: harpmolly Date: 28 Jun 06 - 12:57 AM This year heralds my first successful herb/veggie garden (assuming that the scarlet runner beans and cherry tomatoes, which are currently growing fast and furious but haven't yet borne anything edible, continue to flourish). I've got sweet basil, garlic chives, extremely fragrant mint, and the aforementioned beans & tomatoes. So far, here's what I've done: Picked fresh basil to enjoy with my favorite summer snack--fresh mozzarella, tomato and fresh basil on crusty bread drizzled with olive oil/balsamic vinegar...YUM!!! Added sprigs of fresh mint to iced tea... Added garlic chives to an EXTREMELY decadent cream cheese mashed potato recipe... Molly |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: MMario Date: 28 Jun 06 - 08:59 AM The family favorite: known as "glop" a)sun-ripened fresh tomatoes - chunked b) sweet bell peppers - preferable also warm from the garden - chunked into bite size pieces c) cucumbers - peeled and chunked into bite - sized pieces d) "spring onions" - if you are lucky - with just a hint of "bite" from being slightly water deprived - diced, including some of the green tops. equal quantities of the first three, and about half that much of the onion - coat with your favorite dressing; consume. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Sorcha Date: 28 Jun 06 - 09:02 AM Equal quantities of minced jalepno chiles, pimento stuffed green olices and celery. Mince as fine as possible. Just cover with good olive oil. Let stand over night. 'Italian' relish. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: Dave'sWife Date: 28 Jun 06 - 12:25 PM Here's one I make: Spinach Caprese Salad Ingredients 1 pound of grape or pearl tomatoes, sliced in half 1 pound of miniature fresh mozzarella balls (about the same size or smaller than the grape tomatoes) drained from their brine and rinsed 1 to 2 cups of fresh basil sliced into thin stripes 1 bag of fresh pre-rinsed baby spinach leaves roughly chopped (or about 4 to 6 cups of fresh baby leaves if you have a garden) A handful of Pepitos and/or toasted Pine Nuts Your own fave vinaigrette to taste Mix ingredients together, add some vinaigrette, marinate for a few hours, serve with more vinaigrette if desired. Note: pepitos = hulled pumkin seeds that have been toasted One could also toss in some slcied bermuda onion or paper thin slices of raddish for some zing. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: RangerSteve Date: 04 Oct 06 - 11:02 AM Red and yellow sweet peppers, diced. Celery, sliced. Pasta - I prefer shells for this recipe. Cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in halves. cook the pasta, put some soy sauce in a bowl, add the pasta and toss until the pasta absorbs the soy sauce and takes on a tan color. Add the veggies and toss with Italian dressing. As an option, add a can of albacore tuna. Eat. |

Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: GUEST Date: 04 Oct 06 - 02:09 PM I love the last two recipes ,they seem so simple. I am curious to know what kind of taste the soya sauce imparts. I might make this for supper. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: MMario Date: 04 Oct 06 - 02:53 PM mostly salty |
|
Subject: RE: BS: Summer Recipes From The Garden From: RangerSteve Date: 04 Oct 06 - 10:19 PM There are low-sodium soy sauces, and, no, even with regular soy sauce, there isn't much of a salt taste imparted to the pasta, just a soysauce taste. |
