Today I harvested:
- Several large squash
- grocery bag of tomatoes
- handful of beets
- arm load of swiss chard
- chocolate mint and watercress for a salad
From the tomatoes and the squash my mother made the following recipe that is absolutely scrumptious!
Ingredients:
- Coarsely chopped squash
- steamed, skinned and stewed tomatoes
- caramelized onions
- crushed freeze dried green pepper
- fried senorita jalepeños
- salt and some butter
(all cooked in a frying pan)
- lean top round ground pork
Meat is cooked separately from the squash and then put together in a large frying pan along with the rest of the ingredients and stirred. The tomatoes and caramelized onions were from a previous harvest that was made in a large pot and stored in the freezer for meals like this that you can just get out and pour in the pan for a quick meal.
