365 Vegetarian Days: August 2011

Summer Potatoes stewed with eggplant, peppers and olives

Another recipe from Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Suppers book.

Masa Crepes with chard, chiles and cilantro

The recipe is from Vegetarian Suppers from Deborah Madison's Kitchen - a wonderful book of different and interesting vegetarian meals that gives suggestions for accompanying dishes and wine pairings.

I will post the ingredient list and directions soon.

Second try

CSA Salad with Grilled Zucchini

Some people grill burgers all summer, I grill vegetables, and then I eat them in, on and with EVERYTHING!

Penne with Romaine & Spinach, salad and olive bread with pesto

Lots of Romaine in the share - last week and this week - and some spinach too - this is a perennial favorite, simple but delicious, saute the onions in olive oil - just a little - chope the greens and add them when the onions are soft - cook them down, add in the pasta, some pasta cooking water, and the feta cheese. Serve topped with grated Parmesan.

Salads with all the goodies from the CSA box

Some nice olive bread we got at the Blairstown Farmer's Market

Black Bean and Grilled Veggie Tacos with Cucumber Salad

Leftover black beans - from the quesadillas, leftover grilled vegetables...Made them into tacos, topped with shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, and salsa.

I chopped the grilled veggies, added black beans, cumin, corriander, salt, pepper, chopped tomatoes, heated and mashed the beans a little.

Will search for the recipe I used - had yogurt, dill, honey and toasted walnuts

Black Bean Quesidillas Version III

I LOVE QUESADILLAS

Diced red onion, diced zucchini, diced fresh tomatoes - 1-2 tsp EVOO.

Some nice organic jack cheese with Jalapenos

Add in some black beans

Put one tortilla at a time in the pan (spray with olive oil or rub them in some oil) sprinkle on some cheese, cover with the sauteed veggies and beans, then a little more cheese to hold it all together, flip when it is browned, heat through, and YUM.

Orichette with Summer Vegetables and Pesto

I had some leftover pasta and some leftover pesto, so I sauteed some yellow squash, onions, and red bell peppers, threw in some garbanzo beans, and tossed them all together for dinner.

Potato Skillet Supper

Summer potatoes from Donaldson's Farm, sauteed with sliced sweet onion, green bell pepper strips, half a Jalapeno pepper cut into little strips, threw in some olives and vegetarian Italian style sausage and topped with white cheddar cheese. SErved with salsa, plain Greek yogurt and fresh picked corn on the cob.
