Corn, Squash and Tomato Stir Fry

The first corn of the season – yum. A tip if you’re not familiar with no-spray corn. Most ears are likely to have a corn worm or two. Just cut off the affected part of the ear and you’re good to go. If I have more corn than I can use right away, I grill the extra ears in the husk. When they’re done, the husks and silks slip off easily and I store the grilled corn in a sealable plastic bag in the refrigerator. It will keep about a week that way and is still as sweet as it was the day it arrived.

In the meantime, if you need an idea for today’s fresh corn, try this recipe from Martha Rose Shulman of the New York Times. No Thai basil? Any basil will do, or just omit.

Parmesan Crusted Squash with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Published at 03/21/2016June 2, 2016 In Category Blog, Recipes, Tomatoes, Vegetables Tags: squash, summer squash, tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini

The sundried tomatoes in this recipe are totally optional as far as I’m concerned. And with the pretty yellow tomatoes from this week’s box, I think I’d skip them. It’s a recipe adapted from one at Whole Foods. If you don’t have pesto, or don’t like it, just brush the squash slices with olive oil and then use the same breading. The orange juice in the sauce is a really great idea. I’m seeing more and more recipes pairing oranges and tomatoes. Not exactly in season together, I know, but the acids and the sweetness of each complement each other really nicely.

Squash Pickles

I’m sorry I don’t remember the provenance of this last recipe, but it’s a fairly traditional way to make pickled squash. I can eat it by the pint. The directions are for processing the pickles in a boiling water bath. If you want to skip that step, just pack the pickles into jars after they’ve been heated in the vinegar, and seal them up. Let them cool and then keep the pickles in your refrigerator. They should keep about 2 months without processing but they have to be refrigerated. The recipe also says to wait a month before eating, but I don’t generally have that much patience. They’re really fine right away.
