City Farmer News just sent an update on urban gardening in another part of the world. Take a peek at this. Can you imagine this happening here? I can..........
I love this recipe - 4 ingredients, all fresh from the garden or the local farmers' market.
2 cobs of corn 4 medium sized heirloom tomatoes 1 medium sized purple onion 1 bunch cilantro sea salt (optional)
Par boil corn for 2 - 3 minutes and remove kernels from cob Chop tomatoes Dice purple onions Chop cilantro
Mix ingredients. Add sea salt, if desired.
Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow flavors to develop.
Serve with blue corn chips.
Sauted Green Beans - serves 4
A wonderful summer recipe from our friend Carol - who knows a good green bean when she sees one.
Blanch a half pound (that's 2 good handfuls) fresh green beans for 2 minutes. (Bring water to boil, add green beens, bring to boil, cook 2 minutes.) Drain, put in cold water to cool and drain again.
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 2 cloves crushed garlic to a warm saute pan. Add beans and saute lightly - keep stirring. Saute until crisp-tender.
During the last 30 seconds, add 1/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs. Stir to coat with crumbs.
Serve.
There you go - gourmet cooking right at home. Easy and delicious!
Pack chive blossoms into a glass container. Pour enough white vinegar into the jar to cover the blossoms. Screw on jar cover. Allow to steep for 2 - 3 weeks (a cupboard is a good place). Resulting vinegar will be a lovely shade lavendar and will taste like - well, chive blossoms.
