Eggplant Caviar

Roast Eggplant & Garlic for Eggplant Caviar

This week's box contains:

• Red Potatoes
• Strawberries
• Mixed Tomatoes
• Summer Squash
• Red Gem Lettuce
• Red Beets
• Nadia Black Italian Eggplant
• Chives

More squash.  This is the part of CSAs that gets tough.  Eating seasonally, especially when dependent on one farm, can be repetitive.  Tonight we're going to try Pasta with Zucchini and Mint as a main course, served with Eggplant Caviar and herb ciabatta, made with this week's chives plus some basil and rosemary we had on hand.

Ciabatta

As usual, the strawberries will be frozen for smoothies.  My tried and true smoothie recipe is as follows:

Breakfast Smoothies
Serves 1

1c frozen fruit
1c low fat, unsweetened soy milk
2c water
2 scoops Vega Smoothie Infusion

Add all ingredients to the Vita-Mix and blend well.

The potatoes were added to a Tempeh Curry. Later this week I plan to make the following with the beets and tomatoes:

• Beet, Citrus and Avocado Salad
• Pasta With Cherry Tomatoes and Arugula
• Wheat Berry and Tomato Salad
