In the middle of the hottest week EVAH, can you believe this outstanding Sport Hill Farm CSA bounty?!

  • 1 head of cabbage
  • 2 zucchini squash
  • 2 eight-ball squash
  • 2 yellow summer squash
  • 2 cucumbers
  • 2 Chinese eggplant
  • 1 bag green beans
  • 1 bunch bok choy
  • 1 bunch tatsoi
  • 1 bunch scallions
  • 1 bunch collards
  • 1 bunch Tuscan kale

Patti says they the crops are running behind a couple weeks because spring was cold and wet.  Looks like the Earth is giving us plenty to keep us busy while we wait on tomatoes.

Baba Ghanoush

 Baba Ghanoush Recipe

  • 2-1/4 to 2-1/2 cups eggplant (roasted, pureed)
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2  garlic cloves
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wrap the eggplant in foil and roast in a 350 degree oven for about an hour (more for thicker eggplant). It was a HOT week. I did mine in the toaster oven.

Blend all ingredients together in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
