This simple recipe came from Trader Joe’s. A great way to consume all kinds of peppers.

Asha Gomez’s Kerala Meets Brunswick Stew
Asha Gomez, chef-owner of Spice to Table and the late lamented Cardamom Hill, says it was Fat Matt’s Brunswick stew that inspired this dish, a riff on the beef stew her grandmother made in Kerala, India. I’ve adapted this from a recipe published in Atlanta magazine.
Watermelon Rind Pickles
This is such a traditional Southern relish!
Brown Rice with Delicata Squash
One of the great things about delicata squash is that you can cube it up with no peeling. This recipe is adapted from one in “The Sugar Solution Cookbook.” I happen to be a big fan of the combination of rice and lentils. Perhaps you are, too.
Eggplant Parmesan Lasagna
A big gorgeous eggplant just cries out to be used in a dish like this one from Women’s Health magazine.
Curry Spaghetti Squash Cakes
Hilary White of The Hil at Serenbe demonstrated this recipe at the Morningside Farmers Market last year. To cook your spaghetti squash, she recommends preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Split the squash in half and place it on a rimmed baking sheet with a little bit of water. Bake it until it’s tender, remove from the oven and cool. Then she takes out the seeds, and scrapes the squash with a fork to release the “spaghetti.” And then she squeezes the spaghetti in a dish towel to remove excess moisture.
Curried Okra
Mary Moore of Cook’s Warehouse demonstrated this recipe at a recent Morningside Farmers Market. I’ve made it twice now, using okra and squash, and then okra and eggplant. It’s an easy recipe to adapt to whatever vegetable is sitting there waiting for you.
Barbecued Eggplant with Miso Glaze
The secret of this elegant dish, served by chef Ian Chalermkittichai at his New York restaurant the Ember Room, is that it’s broiled in the oven, the direct heat source from above providing a heavy, steady heat that both tenderizes the eggplant and caramelizes its sweet-savory miso glaze.
Grilled Napa Cabbage Slaw
Another recipe from Laurie Moore of Moore Farms and Friends.
“Oh, my gosh, try our delicious method for a slaw everyone will rave about! If you’re already firing up the grill this is a great way to get some great flavor on the veggies, too.”
Butternut and Apple Bake
This recipe is from Dianna Tribble of Tribble Farms. She sells her honey at the Roswell Farmers & Artisans Market on Thursday nights.
