One word POTATOES!

WHAT’S GROWING ON: 

We grow two types of Potatoes this year, Kennebec (a old heirloom) and Gold Gem a new early variety

 

EGGPLANT

The beautiful eggplant are here! We grow Italian eggplants (the big ones) and Asian varieties (long and skinny). You will have weeks to explore eggplant dishes. I love eggplant slices marinated in olive oil and spices, then grilled. Babaganouj is a delicious dip, like hummus with roasted eggplant instead of chickpeas. I use a recipe from the original Moosewood Cookbook. I found someone’s blog that includes a photo from the cookbook, so you can see the recipe here: https://foodlovefood.wordpress.com/2013/04/20/moosewood-cookbook-baba-ganouj/ 

RATATOUILLE
