Summer is in full swing at Blooming Glen Farm: the watermelon has arrived—and so has the heat! I was nice and sweaty after coming in from the fields with pick-your-own string beans, cherry tomatoes, tons of herbs and a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Being out there in the 90-degree heat and high humidity made me grateful than ever for our farmers and all the work they do to bring us the best looking and tasting produce around.
I have about four quarts of string beans in the fridge right now, so I’ve been on the hunt for a recipe that will make use of the whole lot this week. Simple is best when using fresh, local ingredients, and these are at the top of my list, so far:
Spicy String Beans, with ginger and garam masala
Garlic String Beans, with fresh garlic
Beans with Paprika Sauce Recipe, creamy paprika sauce
With the beans, I plan on serving a stirfry of Ray’s Seitan, squash, pepper, onion and garlic, and a side salad of lettuce, pepper, onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber and edible flowers. For dessert? Why, watermelon, of course!
