1 onion, sliced into rings 2 tablespoons butter, divided 2 cups summer squash, thinly sliced 2 cups red potatoes, thinly sliced 4 ounces gorgonzola (goat cheese, gruyere or your favorite soft cheese) ½ cup half & half 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon pepper ¼ teaspoon nutmeg ½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded ½ cup panko breadcrumbs Instructions
This recipe makes a thick crust that gets crunchy while the middle of the tomato stays tender. If you want a lighter breading, skip the breadcrumbs and only use the cornmeal!
4 large green tomatoes (sliced 1/2 inch thick) 2 eggs ½ cup milk 1 cup all-purpose flour ½ cup cornmeal ½ cup bread crumbs 2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper 1 quart vegetable oil for frying Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium-size bowl. Scoop flour onto a plate. Mix cornmeal, bread crumbs and salt and pepper on another plate. Dip tomatoes into flour to coat. Then dip the tomatoes into milk and egg mixture. Dredge in breadcrumbs to completely coat. In a large skillet, pour vegetable oil (enough so that there is 1/2 inch of oil in the pan) and heat over a medium heat. Place tomatoes into the frying pan in batches of 4 or 5, depending on the size of your skillet. Do not crowd the tomatoes, they should not touch each other. When the tomatoes are browned, flip and fry them on the other side. Drain them on paper towels. Salt while still hot! (baby George approved)
3 TBL chopped Garlic scapes (or 2 cloves) 1/2 cup chopped onion 4 cups squash (any kind) sliced thin 1/4 cup chopped basil (divided in 2) 1 sleeve crushed saltines (breadcrumbs would also work) 1/2 cup melted butter (divided in 2) 1 cup shredded "pizza mix" cheese 1/4 cup parmesan 2 eggs 3/4 cup milk (optional 1 cup chopped greens of choice)* Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large saute pan add a little oil, the garlic, onion, squash, and half the basil. Cook over med heat just until squash is tender and has released it's excess water. Remove from heat and set aside. In a large bowl mix the rest of the basil, saltines, 1/4 cup of the melted butter, and all the cheeses. Remove 1/2 of this mixture and set aside for topping. To the remaining cracker mix in the large bowl add the eggs and milk. Stir to combine. Add the sautéed squash mix and the remaining 1/4 cup melted butter. Mix well to combine everything. Place in a 9 x 9 casserole (or whatever size you have, I actually use a 9" spring form pan and it works great). Top with saved cracker mixture and bake for 25 min or until top is golden brown. *For an added nutrient boost/if you have some greens you need to use up, I like to add chopped kale or chard to this recipe. Chop greens and add about a cup when you are sautéing the squash. 8-10 medium zucchini

Choose a large cabbage to make this dish, it will mean you have enough for all the filling! If you do run out of leaves, you can use the filling to make dumplings or as a base for a quick stirfry. 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 1 teaspoon sesame oil 2 tablespoons ginger, minced 6 garlic scapes, tender stems chopped up to flower bud 1 lb ground meat (beef, chicken or pork) OR 1 block firm tofu, shredded or crumbled 4 oz shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced 1 large carrot, shredded 3 scallions, chopped ¼ cup cilantro, leaves and tender stems, chopped 1 tablespoon soy sauce 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar 1 large head Napa cabbage, leaves separated ¼ cup hoisin sauce Salt and pepper to taste 1.

In a large bowl, combine meat or tofu, carrot, scallions, cilantro, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix until well integrated. Add ingredients from frying pan and mix well. 4. Bring a large pot of water to boil, and blanch the cabbage leaves for about 10-20 seconds to make the pliable to roll. 5. Lay a cabbage leaf flat on a baking sheet. Scoop anywhere from 3 tablespoons to a ½ cup of the filling, depending on the size of the leaf, onto the stem end. Roll towards the leaf end, folding in the sides if you have some spare leaf (but not required). Place roll, seam side down, on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining leaves and filling. 6.

Serve on top of rice with more soy or hoisin sauce if desired. Garlic Scapes! The unformed flower of the garlic plant, scapes are a fleeting delight of spring! The flower is removed so that the plant puts all of its energy into forming the head of garlic that we are all familiar with. They are best and most interestingly stored in a cup of water on the counter or as a centerpiece on your table! Just be sure to change to water regularly. Scapes can be tough towards the flower end, so remove the pointy flower bud before cooking. They can be swapped out for garlic in almost any recipe, and since they lost their bite when cooked, can be used heavily without fear of being overpowering. 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
