CSA week 9: our first tomatoes, and don’t they look grand. We’re definitely into summer produce now, and I’m ready for tomato sandwiches and fresh corn!
This week our box is heavy, because it contains:
- a dozen ears of corn
- 3 cantaloupe
- lettuce
- kale
- green beans
- cucumbers
- and red, ripe tomatoes
It’s almost silly to list what to do with such wonderful summer bounty, because it’ll all taste wonderful treated as gently as possible. Still, I’m going to present a list here, because all these look like great ways to deal with good produce.
- corn on the cob cooked sous vide
- grilled corn
- grilled corn, tomato and feta salad with herbs
- Southern skillet corn
- fresh corn salad with scallions and basil
