Here are the recipes I will be using this week to use up our produce. The bullet points are the items from the basket are to be used with the dish is under.
Eggplant Parmesan w/ a Salad and homemade bread
In no particular order (because some days end up being too hard to make time consuming dishes):
Chili Verde on Rice w/ a Salad
- Chili Verde: Tomatillos, green chilis, garlic, jalapenos, cilantro, onion
- Salad: Romaine, tomatoes, some red onion
Potato Soup
- No recipe, yet. I will try to remember to write down how I make it. I will tell you it has potatoes, onion, celery, cooked bacon all crumbled up, I will probably add the broccoli in this and see how it turns out, chicken broth, herbes de province (seasoning), salt, pepper. I cover all the produce with the broth, about 2 to 3 inches above, and let it simmer until the potatoes are falling apart (this is what thickens the broth. I don't like using flour). I stir in non-fat plain yogurt (tastes like sour cream this way with none of the fat and calories). Top with a little cheese.
- Eggplant Parmesan: eggplant, garlic, basil
- Salad: Romaine, tomatoes, some red onion
Turkey Burgers w/ pan cooked diced potatoes
- Burger: zucchini, red onion (probably the last of it), garlic
- Potatoes: Season with salt, pepper, and fresh rosemary. Coat a pan with olive oil and let heat up. Add potatoes and cook until tender in the middle and crispy brown on the outside, stirring often so they don't burn.
Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Pasta w/ Broccoli and Garlic bread
- Pasta: butternut squash, fresh rosemary
- Asparagus: Rub olive oil on them and sprinkle with salt and pepper and grill in a pan on the stove. (my kids sneak asparagus off the cooking pan when I cook it like this)
- Soup: savoy cabbage, onion, thyme, potato, mushrooms, parsley
I am not going to do a seventh meal. I need a night for leftovers.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Have a happy, healthy week!
