I am content after enjoying a meal full of hearty goodness. I loved the variety that arrives in my delivery. I received all of the following items:
asparagus
avocados
cabbages
corn
large onions
celery
Klamath potatoes
cherry tomatoes
green leaf lettuce
cucumbers
rosemary
Plus my fruit box:
melon
apples
oranges
apricots
peaches
I still had on hand:
carrots
cabbage
shallots
spring red onion
fava beans
beets (which quietly hide in the back of the fridge- sorry beets) I guess my weakness has been found! Every superhero has a weakness.
Spicy Rotini, Zucchini, and Italian Sausage
Caramelize about ¼ an onion, diced
Add in about 5 hot peppers, whole
Once the onion is almost browned and translucent, add about 1 tablespoon of chopped garlic
Preparing the Sausage
I used 3 pork sausage links about ½ foot long.
I placed my sausage in a pot of water and brought it to a boil for about 15 minutes.
I set aside to cool and drained the water
Once the meat is ready to handle, I removed the casing and tore the sausage into pieces.
Set aside.
Boil the pasta to al dente
I used a ½ box
Allow the meat to brown and become crispy
I sliced two zucchinis in diagonal slices around the edges while the meat was cooking
Toss the meat in the middle to cook on the other side without disturbing the zucchini
Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water.
Add on top of the meat. Next add in about 2 tablespoons of tomato paste.
Toss the pasta, meat, and zucchini to coat with the tomato sauce
Season with pepper and salt
Allow the dish to cook a little longer about 5 minutes on each side.
Serve with garlic bread and a green salad.
Greek Couscous Salad
I prepared the couscous to box directions. 1 cup of dry couscous and 1 cup of water
Let it cool.
Need:
1 cucumber
¼ cup of sun dried tomatoes
¼ cup of feta cheese
¼ cup kalamata olives
Toss together and fresh with a little lemon juice, pepper, and salt.
Set aside and get ready to eat as a salad with dinner or it could be the main dinner item.
Enjoy!
