CSA Week 11
/It takes a lot of focus to not have tomatoes left from the Gorman Produce Farm CSA share each week. This I made tomato sauce with all the tomatoes that were left (the roma tomatoes). I am perfecting my technique; the steps this week were:
- Cut the tops off
- Put in a food processor
- Puree - skins and all
- Cook until about the right consistency for sauce adding seasonings if designed (basil and garlic were my choice)
Everything else I had left will last without refrigeration: potatoes and garlic.
This week there are a lot of tomatoes again. The new type of tomato in this week’s share was yellow (I got 4 of them along with 1 red one in the 3 pounds in this week’s share). The yellow tomato I ate with yogurt on top last night was pretty and tasty. I’ll eat the heirloom tomato for my next ‘tomato as a side dish.’
The beautiful peppers are in a range of colors. What a way to add flavor and color to a meal!
The spaghetti squash will work very well under chili that my husband is going to make (using up some of the tomato sauce I am accumulating).
This upcoming week is going to be a ‘good eating’ week!
