Soups: Greens & Lentil, Butternut squash, corn & Green bean, Mozzarella Stuffed mushrooms, Eggplant Cacciatore, Couscous tabbouleh with chickpeas and soft tortillas..Thursday Menu





Beautiful day today ..low 80f's after early morning low clouds.....

Great day shopping too, found some lovely vine ripened tomatoes and very crisp eggplants and green beans
The menu for Thursday is a simple affair as many of my client's are out of town:


Turnip greens and lentil  Soup

 3 sisters type Soup with butternut squash, green beans and roasted corn

Tabbouleh with wholewheat couscous and chickpeas,  with soft tortillas, a wonderful warm salad

Portobello Mushrooms , stuffed with baked yams  & Fresh Mozzarella Perline ( pearl sized) with brown rice..to be baked at client's home

Eggplant Cacciatore with Gnocchi..a fabulous wine based "Hunter's Stew" with chunks of roasted eggplant ( roasting makes them softer and uses less oil), the gnocchi soaks up the sauce beautifully.

No Desserts although I might make a chocolate pudding cake as I have friends coming in from England on Friday and we have not seen each other for over 2 decades.

Photos above are today's market purchases being air dried..I will roast the corn tonight.
