Today I picked up my first box from the Hairston Creek Farms CSA. It was chocked full of organic, delicious goodness: tomatoes, small onions, new potatoes, Japanese eggplant, small bell peppers, hot peppers, okra, cucumber, squash and a cantaloupe. So what did I create with it? What any good, southern boy raised eating out of the garden would cook:
-A tomato salad with onion dressed with a little pomegranate vinegar, a drizzle of olive oil and some blue cheese to sprinkle on top.
-Steamed new potatoes with a little butter and some dill.
-Oklahoma hushpuppies a.k.a. okra pancakes. Fried and fried.
I bought some popcorn tofu from Wheatsville Co-op earlier this week and it was the perfect accompaniment to the fresh veggies. It was all delicious and I can't wait to cook and eat the rest of the box.
Mangez!
