The bounty is here! Watermelons and multi-colored tomatoes; Japanese Eggplant and Desiree potatoes!
ERIC TELLS US WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE GARDEN: Marconi peppers are beginning to turn red. These sweet triangular shaped peppers are one of our favorites "one of the sweetest peppers of them all". They lend themselves well to stuffing, frying and also eating raw. Like it hot? Jalapeno peppers for salsa and Anaheim's for the classic chile Rellano recipe that follows. If eating peppers are your thing then Padron, a Spanish tapas pepper is especially good with beer! If you love peppers and don't like them hot - try the Japanese Shishito pepper. Another tapas type that when fried whole in olive oil with a sprinkling of salt makes a hard to resist appetizer.
VEGGIES FROM OUR FARM:
Italian Parsley GarlicVogliotti Red onions
Basils Rainbow Chard New Potatoes - Yukon Gold & Desiree Cucumbers - Suyo Long, Marketmore, Lemon Cherry Tomatoes - sungold, reds, pinks, yellows, and greens. Hot Peppers - Padron, Jalapeno, Anaheim Bell Peppers - Gyspy & Purple & Marconi Early Girl Tomatoes Heirlooms Eggplant Salad greens Green Beans

RECIPE of the week
CHILE RELLANO'S ERIC STYLE
Roasted Anaheim Chiles (blister over gas flame) 1 egg for every two chiles, separated 3 TBSP flour Splash or two of Beer Roast Anaheim chiles and put in a paper bag to steam. In the meantime, prepare the filling of your choice: feta, cheddar or your favorite cheese, shaved corn, diced onion, cooked ground meat, prawns, sausage. Next beat the whites to a stiff peak with either Cream of Tartar or salt. Make a batter with yolk, flour, beer (enough to make a pancake consistency). Fold into the stiff whites. Peel the chiles under cold running water, cut off the tops and take out the seeds. It's easier to slice down the length of the chile and stuff with filling. Heat oil in a cast iron pan to medium hot. Dip the chiles into the mix and amply coat. Fry until golden brown. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and fresh salsa. FRUIT SALSA
This is what we've been eating along with Shrimp stuffed Chile Relleno's!! Cube any fruit (2 pounds) nectarines, pluots, peaches, melon 1 small onion, diced 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or minced 1 jalapeno, diced 1 ear of corn, shaved 2 splashes of fruit white basalmic (Marisiolo has the best selections around here) Olive Oil Combine all the ingredients, taste and adjust accordingly.
