A Very Ohio Autumn: CSA Recipes, Week 17 (2009): Eggplant

Eggplants might be one of the more versatile vegetables we have. Beautiful in color and mild in taste, these vibrant late summer and early autumn gems star in many a main course, side dish and dip. Read below for Mandy's take on Baba Ghanouj, as well as two other recipes for your September eggplants.

You can taste Mandy's creation for free on The Veranda tonight from 6.30 to 8.30 p.m. We'll also be pouring wine and beer. The wines are listed below.

Hayman & Hill Interchange 2007, Santa Barbara $2.00/sample, $3.50/glass 

A Very Ohio Summer: CSA Recipes, Week 16 (2009): Onions

Today's recipes feature one of the most versatile items in the produce department (and the CSA bin): onions. Savory, sweet, crunchy or soft, we love them.

Today, you can taste Mandy's Smothered Chicken - with an onion-spiked salsa - on The Veranda alongside samples from La Chatelaine. As always, we'll be selling wine and beer. Stop by between 6.30 and 8.30 to feast!

A Very Ohio Summer: CSA Recipes, Week 15 (2009): Carmen Peppers

There may not be prettier peppers than the Carmen Peppers that we untucked in today's CSA share from Wayward Seed Farm. These sweet red peppers look like an elongated version of a bell pepper, and are just as versatile. Mandy decided to use the color and crispy texture to complement a pizza (recipe below).

You'll be able to try the pizza, as well as the wares from Oink, Moo, Cluck for free tonight on The Veranda from 6.30 - 8.30 p.m. We'll also be pouring wine and beer.

Market to Market: A Trail & Two Markets | October 3 | $10

It's about time that word got out: we're seeing someone. And we have our first official date set for October 3: breakfast, a bike ride and ice cream with North Market. It's not an exclusive thing, of course. As a matter of fact, we'd both be delighted if you joined us.

A Very Ohio Summer: CSA Recipes, Week 14 (2009): Tomatillos

Tomatillos - or ground cherries - showed up in this week's share from Wayward Seed Farm. These fruits are frequently used in Tex-Mex dishes and boast a lemony-herb flavor when cooked. Woody, our produce guy, says that they store well, so if you're holding off for a few end-of-season tomatoes to start the salsa-making process, you'll be fine to store them in the refrigerator. But if you're ready to use them, below are a few recipes we've found.

You can taste the pasta tonight on The Veranda as part of our A Very Ohio Summer from 6:30 to 8:30. As always, we'll be serving wine and beer, sampling food and featuing an Ohio vendor. Tonight, you'll taste the wares of Stan Evans Bakery.
