Week #8
Dear CSA member:
This week will be the first of the peppers and tomatoes. We have been waiting since last summer for these favorites. What a wonderful harvest! This may be the year of the eggplant though. We will not send as much this week but there will be eggplant.
CSA member The Chocolate Lady, https://inmolaraan.blogspot.com has shared a few of her favorite eggplant recipes. They are listed below. If you have a favorite blog or web site that you would like to share, please pass the information on.
Georgian eggplants with cilantro, especially for the Orient Express eggplants:

For the larger eggplants the walnut sauce is perfect:

And this for any summer afternoon:

Any type of eggplant loves to be stuffed:

I made this recipe for a rare variety of red eggplants (get a load of the pictures!) but it is great for any kind.
And since we also have lots of squash, don’t forget ratatouille:

If you are feeling adventurous, a member also shared a link for eggplant pizza crust: https://lexiscleankitchen.com/2013/09/06/paleo-pizza/
Good things to eat in your share and also from the online CSA Marketplace. Richard Sandhaus, Better CheaperSlower.com has also shared a link to a delicious morning treat, https://www.BetterCheaperSlower.com/chocolatemoussebreakfast — chocolate mousse for breakfast. The health benefits of chocolate are well documented and the Grenada Chocolate Company Organic Dark Chocolate is some of the best.
