Mix until combined. Transfer to the fridge while you make the rest of the gyros. Gyros: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Place the pita on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to warm the pita. To a small bowl, combined the diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, a few pinches of salt, crushed red pepper, Italian parsley and mint. Using a grill or grill pan, bring the heat to medium-high. Brush the squash with a bit of olive oil. Cook on each side for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the squash has softened slightly and you begin to see grill marks. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with a few pinches of salt. To assemble the gyros, grab the tzatziki from the fridge. Add a dollop to the center of the pita and spread it around into an even layer. Add a few slices of squash, top with a few spoonfuls of tomato and cucumber salad. Add more fresh herbs if desired.

You can find dried chiles at international markets, such as New Grand Mart.
⅓ cup cashews 6 dried cascabel chiles or 3 pasilla chiles, seeds removed 2 morita chiles 4 large tomatoes, cored 2 garlic cloves 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 2 teaspoons kosher salt Preheat oven to 350°. Arrange cashews on one side of a rimmed baking sheet and chiles on the other. Toast until chiles are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove chiles from baking sheet, then continue roasting nuts, tossing once, until golden brown, 8–10 minutes. Let cool. Remove and discard stems from chiles. Increase oven temperature to 450°. Roast tomatoes on a clean rimmed baking sheet until skin is browned and beginning to separate from flesh, 30–35 minutes. Transfer to a blender and add garlic, lime juice, and salt; blend until smooth. Add chiles and blend until coarsely chopped. Add cashews and pulse until coarsely chopped, about 5 pulses. Do Ahead: Salsa can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before serving. 3 tablespoons pistachios
1 pound mixed tomatoes, some sliced, some cut into wedges Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper ¼ cup Basic Lemon Vinaigrette ¼ cup chopped parsley, plus leaves for serving ¼ cup crumbled feta Preheat oven to 350°. Toast pistachios on a rimmed baking sheet, tossing once, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Let cool, then chop. Arrange tomatoes on a plate; season lightly with salt and pepper. Mix vinaigrette, ¼ cup parsley, and two-thirds of pistachios in a small bowl. Drizzle over tomatoes. Top with feta, parsley leaves, and remaining pistachios. 5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 1 medium onion, finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced 1 Tbsp. tomato paste 2 cups cherry tomatoes or chopped large tomatoes ¼ tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (optional) 1 cup arborio or carnaroli rice Kosher salt 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter 2 oz. finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup), plus more shaved for serving Freshly ground black pepper Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat until ready to use. Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden and very soft, 8–10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until it darkens slightly and begins to stick to pan, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and nutmeg, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes. Stir in rice; season with salt, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until completely absorbed, 8–10 minutes. Ladle in another 2 cups broth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until rice is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 12–15 minutes. Add butter, 2 oz. Parmesan, and remaining 1 cup broth and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is very creamy looking, about 4 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Divide risotto among bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan and lots of pepper and drizzle with more oil. ¼ cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
5 garlic cloves, smashed Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 20 ounces cherry tomatoes OR 2 lbs beefsteak tomatoes, sliced in 1” slices 1 bunch Swiss chard, preferably rainbow 6 large eggs 4 thin slices country-style bread 1 lemon Flaky sea salt or kosher salt Handful of basil leaves Heat ¼ cup oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. When it just starts to shimmer, add garlic and season generously with kosher salt and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until garlic is just turning golden around the edges, about 2 minutes. Stir in red pepper flakes, then add tomatoes and cook, tossing occasionally, until tomatoes look plumped and some of the skins start to split, about 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Cover pan and cook, stirring tomatoes every couple of minutes and lightly smashing them with a wooden spoon to encourage them to release some juices, until mixture is saucy and tomatoes are slightly deflated but still hold some shape, 5–7 minutes. Meanwhile, strip leaves off Swiss chard stems and tear into bite-sized pieces (or bigger, your call). Reserve stems for your next sauté. Transfer leaves to a medium bowl. Reduce heat under tomatoes to medium-low (sauce should be bubbling gently). Carefully crack eggs into a large measuring glass, then slip one at a time into tomato mixture, spacing them evenly apart around perimeter of pan. Season eggs with salt and pepper, cover pan, and cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, 4–6 minutes. While eggs are cooking, toast bread until crisp. Drizzle with oil, then firmly rub outside of lemon onto toasts to release aromatic oils from peel (you’ll smell it!). Sprinkle toasts with sea salt. Squeeze about 2 Tbsp. lemon juice over greens, then toss in basil. Drizzle some oil over and season with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss again to combine. Scoop an egg out of pan, spooning it up from underneath to keep the yolk intact, and transfer to a small shallow bowl. Spoon extra sauce around egg and sprinkle with sea salt. Repeat with remaining eggs. Serve with salad and toasts alongside 1 lb. ground lamb
1 onion, diced 3 garlic cloves, minced 2 carrots, grated 2 sticks of celery, finely chopped 3 tomatoes, diced 1 cup red wine ½ cup golden raisins 1 TBSP smoked paprika ½ cup fresh parsley, chopped 2-3 cups cooked rice 6 large bell peppers, tops and seeds removed Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and add two tablespoons olive oil. Add the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Cook until brown, about 5-8 minutes, breaking it up into small bits with the back of a wooden spoon as it cooks. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, garlic, raisins and paprika. Continue to cook until the onions start to get tender, about 3-4 minutes. Deglaze the pan with the red wine, stirring to get any brown bits off the bottom of the skillet. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated. Turn off the heat and add the parsley and cooked rice to the pot. Stir to combine. Pour 1 cup of water or vegetable broth into an oven-safe baking dish for additional liquid to create a bed for the peppers to sit on. Fill each pepper up with the rice and lamb mixture. Set in the baking dish and bake, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes. You can use 1 ½ cups of leftover tomato juices from your roasted tomatoes for this in place of the cherry tomatoes.
10 oz. cherry tomatoes or 1½ cups chopped heirloom or beefsteak tomatoes 1 garlic clove, smashed 3 Tbsp. red wine vinegar ⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling Kosher salt Purée cherry tomatoes in a blender. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in garlic, vinegar, and ⅓ cup oil; season with salt. Let sit 15–20 minutes, then pluck out garlic. 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (one 14-ounce package or half of a 17.3-ounce package), thawed
All-purpose flour (for dusting) 1 garlic clove, finely grated 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more for serving 1 lemon, thinly sliced into rounds, preferably on a mandoline, seeds removed 1 cup torn basil leaves 1 pound ripe tomatoes (about 3 medium), sliced ¼ inch thick, patted dry with paper towels Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper Crème fraîche (for serving) Preheat oven to 375°. Roll out puff pastry on a sheet of lightly floured parchment paper, smoothing out creases, to a large rectangle measuring about 15x10". Prick pastry in a few places with a fork, leaving a 1" border around the edges, then slide parchment paper onto a rimmed baking sheet. Combine garlic and 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl and brush dough with garlic oil, staying within border. Arrange lemon slices in a single layer over brushed pastry, then scatter basil over lemon slices. Arrange tomatoes on top (a little overlap is okay). Sprinkle with lots of salt and a few grinds of pepper, then drizzle with 1 Tbsp. oil. Bake tart until edges of pastry are browned, puffed, and crisp, 30–35 minutes. Let tart cool 10 minutes before cutting into 8 pieces. Drizzle with more oil and top each with a dollop of crème fraîche. 1 head of celery, diced (if using store-bought, you may only need 4 stalks)
3-4 carrots, peeled and diced 1 onion, diced 3 cloves of garlic, minced ½ cup red wine 4 large tomatoes, diced 2 cups leftover shredded meat of choice ½ lb pasta (I love the wrinkly trumpets for holding the sauce) Cook pasta according to the package and set aside. In a large pan, heat 4 TBSP olive oil over medium heat. Add celery, carrot, onion and cook until the onions start to look translucent, about ten minutes, then add garlic for another minute. Pour in red wine, and cook, stirring, until the wine has mostly absorbed into the veggies, and the smell of alcohol has disappeared. Add in chopped tomatoes, stir, and let simmer until most of the tomato water has evaporated and sauce has begun to thicken. Then add in your leftover meat (or meat substitute!) and cook until warmed through. At this point, add in your pasta, and toss with the sauce, until all the pasta is coated. Serve topped with parmesan cheese and fresh herbs! A recipe shared by one of our CSA members. The spices can be adjusted and played with. The following recipe is for red tomatoes, but for yellow tomatoes, only add fresh grated ginger and turmeric, to keep the yellow color. Its great with soft, creamy cheeses, or used as a glaze on salmon or meatloaf!
2lbs tomatoes of your choice, roughly chopped in a food processor 1 ¼ cups sugar (either all white sugar or half white/half brown) ¼ cup fresh lemon juice 2 TBSP apple cider vinegar 1 ½ tsp sea salt 1 ½ tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp grated fresh ginger 1 tsp chipotle chili powder 2 cinnamon sticks (or 1 tsp cinnamon powder) Combine the all of the ingredients in a non-reactive pot, and bring to a boil, then lower to medium and simmer, stirring regularly, for 45 minutes-1 hour. When the jam is almost ready, it will be MUCH reduced, and coat the back of your stirring spoon without dripping off. If you choose to can, you can do so while the jam is still hot and can using your personal method. I just put into jars and keep in the fridge for up to 3 months. I have friends who savor theirs, and have kept up to a year without having any adverse effects. |
