Amy Wisniewski from Chow.com took all the ingredients of Eggplant Parmesan and created a grilled bread salad.

Peppered Tuna with Crowder Peas
As pretty as those lady peas are earlier in the year, it’s crowder peas that really make me happy. Try this adaption of a recipe from ages ago in Southern Living. I think they served it on salad greens and topped it with bernaise sauce. You could serve do the same but instead of bernaise sauce, just whip up a little vinaigrette.
Linguine with Cantaloupe and Sausage
Riverview CSA subscriber Andrea B. sent me this recipe and a note the last time we had a melon in our box:
I thought I’d share a recipe back. It’s from Publix. It’s not fancy, in fact at first it sounds quite odd, but it is delicious and a great way to use the cantaloupe we’d been getting. I hope there will be more later in the summer so I can make it again! It’s great with Riverview farms sausage (I used cheddarwurst the last time) …. and Charlotte tells me that the pigs love cantaloupe, so I guess they are meant to go together!
Ratatouille
This is James Beard’s recipe, adapted from his book, “Beard on Food.” You know – the James Beard of the James Beard Awards that our chefs are all so anxious to win every year?
This is a classic Provencal dish, perfect with grilled meat or fish or as a filling for an omelet or as dinner all by itself. The Beard folks note that in France it’s often presented as an appetizer with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar and a sprinkling of chopped parsley. Toss in one of those jalapenos if you like.
Roasted Okra, Tomatoes and Field Peas
Is there any chance you still have a tomato or two left over from last week’s box? This recipe is from Scott Peacock.
Apple and Cheddar Muffins
The cool nights we’ve been having recently and the beautiful apples in today’s box have inspired me to do some baking. So here’s a recipe for apple muffins that are more savory than sweet. Wish I could remember where I found this recipe originally ….. It called for Irish cheddar ….. maybe it was some research I did for a St. Patrick’s Day story?
Four Seasons Lemon-Zucchini Loaf
Once zucchini season gets into full gear, one of the most requested recipes is zucchini bread. Chef Robert Robert Gerstenecker demonstrated this particularly delicious version at the Morningside Farmers Market this year.
Chinese-style Steamed Eggplant
Another recipe from SeriousEats.com.
Curried Pickled Zucchini and/or Okra
Love this idea for a differently flavored pickle. Make it with the rounds of zucchini or the tiny little okra in today’s box, or both! The original idea came from seriouseats.com.
Sausage and Peppers
This idea from Seth Freedman of Forage & Flame, market chef for the East Atlanta Village Farmers Market, is so simple it almost doesn’t need a recipe. But it’s a nice reminder of a classic combination.
