JUDI’S RECIPES – WEEK 2 – JUNE 14, 2022

JUNE 14, 2022

Hi Everyone,

It was such a pleasure to see all of you last week at our 2022 season opener. This week will be pretty exciting, too.  Museum Mile will be taking place right outside our door. It begins at 6 PM and is always a fun-filled evening. You should go!

This week, among our great vegetables, will be a live rosemary transplant. At the ruins in Pompeii, there is a hedge at the entrance. That hedge is rosemary. It is so fragrant, you can’t miss it. But, aside from its fabulous fragrance, rosemary adds vibrant flavor to many dishes.

This week’s recipe is a favorite summer lunch dish I’ve been making for years. It is eaten cold so you don’t have to turn on your oven on a hot day.

PASTA WITH MARINATED TOMATOES

INGREDIENTS

1 can of whole plum tomatoes

1/2 c. sliced scallions

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp fresh rosemary leaves

1/4 c. red wine vinegar

1/2 c. extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp. red pepper flakes

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 lb pasta (I like fusilli for this dish, but penne, rigatoni, or orecchiette will work well too.

DIRECTIONS

1. Drain the tomatoes and discard the juice or use it for another purpose. Halve and seed the tomatoes

2. In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, scallions, garlic, rosemary, vinegar, oil, red pepper flakes, salt,  and black pepper.  Cover and refrigerate for one hour.

3. Cook the pasta in salted boiling water for one minute less than the package directions specify. Drain and cool.

4. Toss the pasta with the marinade and enjoy!

Serves 4

HELPFUL HINT: The marinate may be refrigerated for up to a week. It’s a great salad dressing.

ANOTHER HELPFUL HINT: It’s easy to seed canned tomatoes. Just cut them in half and squeeze!

I hope you enjoy this dish. It’s a lifesaver on a long hot day.

Have a delicious week.

Best,

Judi

Judi’s Recipe — Week #17

Greetings, All, and welcome to Week 17. I think that, by now, we’re maybe all looking for something different to do with potatoes. They are wonderful this year, but a little variety is a good thing. So here’s a recipe for a delicious potato casserole. It’s not health food, so it’s not for every night. But, it is yummy!

DELICIOUS POTATO CASSEROLE
***************************************
8 medium potatoes, scrubbed and dried
2 TBS olive oil
1 TBS kosher salt
3/4 lb sliced bacon, cooked and crumbled
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
5-6 scallions, sliced
salt and pepper to taste

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
2. Rub the potatoes with olive oil and salt and place on a baking sheet.
3. Bake for 45-60 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender when pierced with a fork. Cool for 15 minutes.
4. Lower the oven temperature to 350 degrees.
5. Cut the potatoes into bite-sized pieces and place in a bowl. Some pieces may fall apart. It’s okay!
6. Stir in mayonnaise and sour cream.
7. Set aside 1/3 cup cheese, 3TBS bacon and, 2 TBS sliced scallions for the top of the casserole and stir in the remaining ingredients.
8. Spoon the mixture into a greased 9×9 baking dish. Top with the reserved shredded cheese and bacon. Cover the dish with foil and bake in the 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, removing foil for the last 10 minutes, to crisp the top.
9. Top with remaining sliced scallions.

HELPFUL HINT: Kale is great for salad, but it tends to be tough. When making a kale salad, remove the stems and ribs and cut up the leaves. Then massage the cut-up leaves with your hands until they are tenderized.

Enjoy the recipe and the wonderful vegetables, and have a delicious week!
Best,
Judi
