Here’s one more idea, something for those pretty green beans. And again, I recommend Mary Rigdon’s Decimal Place feta. Yum.

(2019) Mary Moore’s Malabar Spinach Green Drink
Mary Moore, owner of Cook’s Warehouse, adapted this recipe from one that came with her Vitamix. She’s a huge fan of Vitamix, using one at home every day for her morning smoothie and then to make soups, pestos, sauces and more. It’s the best selling blender at her shops.
(2019) Malabar Spinach Quiche
This classic combination of tomatoes, onions and greens will work just fine with regular spinach as well.
(2019) Moroccan Eggplant
I also like this idea – don’t remember where it came from – that combines eggplant with peaches. Yum. Don’t let the long ingredient list stop you from trying – it’s mostly for the vinaigrette.
(2019) Sauteed Kale that’s Actually Good
One of a friend’s faves, originally from the NYTimes.
(2019) Pricci’s Rigatoni Alla Norma
I’ve adapted this recipe slightly. When Pricci sent the recipe originally, it called for fresh tomatoes. Then they revised it for canned Italian tomatoes. That was fine, and probably is closer to what they serve at the restaurant, but I liked it best with fresh tomatoes. Today’s eggplant and tomatoes are exactly what you need for this recipe.
(2019) Green Bean Curry
And for dinner next weekend, the Green Bean Curry below. The recipe calls for adding canned kidney beans, and I guess there’s some nutritional value to doing that, but I’ll probably skip the added beans and just go with the contents of the box.
From “Heavenly Vegan Dals & Curries” by Rakhee Yadav. Saw this in an e-blast from The Splendid Table.
(2019) Herbed Squash Confit
There’s lots of squash this week – crookneck, zucchini and one giant Zephyr squash (in my box, at least) so I’m going to make the Herbed Squash Confit (a fancy name for grated, sauteed squash and I don’t remember where I delicious first found this recipe) because it’s good on baguette slices as the recipe mentions, but also stirred into pasta or just served alongside a piece of grilled chicken.
(2019) Fresh Corn Cakes with Garden Relish
Here’s the corn recipe that’s on my list for the first time I’m ready to move past grilled corn. The original came from Better Homes and Gardens ages ago.
(2019) Baked Fish with Arugula Sauce
Adapted from a Florence Fabricant recipe in New York Times based on a recipe from Armani Ristorante. I love this combination of pink peppercorns and thyme to season the fish – but I have pink peppercorns on hand since I used them to make pink peppercorn ice cream for the AJC. If you don’t have any, and don’t want to go shopping for them, just plain black pepper will be fine, if not as floral in flavor.
