CSA week 11: more tomatoes, please! We’ve definitely begun tomato season, and that’s a good thing – no, it’s a great thing. The whole family loves tomatoes. We’re looking forward to several more weeks of all tomatoes, all the time.
The vegetable treasures this week:
- six ears of corn
- one big head cauliflower
- 2 cantaloupe
- one yellow summer squash
- 1 head leaf lettuce
- 3 cucumbers
- 2 leeks
- one ripe tomato
- a big bag of red grape tomatoes
- a bunch purple basil
I’ve already made purple pesto for a friend with kids – who could resist purple pesto? We have tomato gratin in the plans for this weekend – an old fashioned dish, but oh, so good.
More ideas from this box of goodies:
- roasted summer squash chunks with Parmesan cheese
- grilled corn, tomato and feta salad with herbs
- horiatiki salad
- quick refrigerator pickles (dill/cucumber pickles)
- lemony pickled cauliflower
