[local eating] Fish and veg
Aug. 12th, 2009 11:10 pmThis week's farm share (sadly bereft of corn; I was so hoping for more):
Salad in my future. Also some roasted veggies, perhaps a whole ratatouille.
Last week's share was taken by a friend. As requested, he sent me a list of what he got:
Yesterday, as last week, the fish share was cod (surprise!). This week I filleted one side of the cod, cutting pieces that I dredged in mayo, then in seasoned chickpea flour (lots of zaatar and a touch of cayenne), then baked for 17 minutes in a 425 F (approximately) oven. The rest of the fish baked in the same heat, though for longer, the front end stuffed with the same veggies that the back end was lying on: onion, garlic, lemon, kale, and carrot (the last two both needed using up), plus some hot sauce. Both turned out well; I ate rather too much fish for dinner last night, without much of anything else. (Note to self: consider getting some panko for the oven "fried" fish.) And I heard that last week's fish turned out well too :-)
- two heads of lettuce (I chose red leaf and red oak)
- a pint of small plum tomatoes
- a head of celery
- three pounds of eggplant (I got "regular" and violet)
- a pound of green peppers
- three summer squash (I got a globe zucchini, a summer squash, and a two-tone summer squash (formal wear for squash, yellow and light green))
- three cucumbers
- a pound and a half of white onions (I aimed for large ones)
- a head of broccoli
- a bunch of herbs (I chose dill, wanting neither cilantro nor parsley)
