CSA box #11 has arrived. It includes: sweet corn, carrots, summer squash x3, German Butterball potatoes, tomatoes, Jersey Mac and early gold apples, green beans, green bell peppers x2, melons, ground cherries, Tuscan kale, squash blossoms, lima beans, Jimmy Nardello sweet peppers, garlic x2, a small head of green cabbage, cherry tomatoes, and onions.
The kale will get washed and tossed into the freezer for breakfast smoothies. I'll dice up the melon and cut the carrots into sticks and de-paper the ground cherries for general snacking purposes.
Tonight's dinner will be fried squash blossoms and as much other random stuff as I can make. Lima beans (plain?) for protein. Some manner of stuffed sweet peppers.
I want these as plain as possible. I've only ever had lima beans from a can before and want to see how these taste on their own. My goal here is really just to consume enough protein that I don't feel insanely hungry after dinner, and beans are great for that.
Italian Fried Zucchini Blossoms
Because I love them and see no point in finding another zucchini blossom recipe ever.
I don't have any goat cheese, but I bet I could blend up the neufchafel in my fridge with some fresh garlic and dried herbs and make this work.
No Bake Vegan Stuffed Mini Peppers
I may or may not try this depending on what else I end up doing with the sweet peppers and how many are leftover.
I don't have egg on hand, so I would make a vegan batter akin to the gram flour-based one in the popcorn okra recipe I've been enjoying. No idea how this would play out, but it seems worth a shot (because bloomin' onion is delicious) and it wouldn't create too much waste if it goes badly.
To use up some of the peppers from the farm box and because I don't love bell peppers in general but I do love kadai paneer.
To use up the cabbage and some of the potatoes from the farm box. Whenever I don't know what to do with a piece of produce from the farm box, one of the things I do now is just type it into the search bar on VeganRicha.com. That's how I found this and several other good recipes I've made lately.
Because I love elote and keep having so much corn. I'll set aside one of the red sweet peppers for this.
