Thufferin' Thuccotash!
It's succotash time again! Starring at my neighborhood farmers market today were corn on the cob, lima beans, summer squash, tomatoes, and onions. You know what that means--a big potful of eastern Native American heritage food! And it's yet another great use for Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute, which is astonishingly versatile stuff.

MMMmboy. :9

1. I haven't really done much farmers' market lately.
(Not working right now, and, ow, so broke.)

However, my husband came home with two giant (like the size of Popeye's arms!) summer squashes yesterday. Apparently, he was at a client's house and she refused to let him leave without taking them. Now, what am I going to do with them?

I wish she'd sent a few other garden goodies home with him so that I could come up with something interesting to make! I really miss truly fresh corn on the cob, too...:cry:


(Re: the summer squash--I'm leaning toward a squash & jicama soup with jalapenos and red chiles. That should take care of one squash. Any suggestions for how to use the other?)

3. I'm thinking that might play better in the Lounge.
We ate a bunch of squash today.

There's still 1 1/2 squashes left...seriously, these things are almost as big as my leg.

:wow:

4. I just fixed some the other day with a recipe from Vegan Planet
for curry-battered cauliflower. You can use all kinds of vegetables and it was delicious. Here's the recipe:

1 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
2 t. curry powder
1 t. salt
3/4 t. baking powder
1 T. oil (I used canola)
3/4 c. water, or more as needed
Peanut oil for frying

Mix together all ingredients to make a smooth batter. Heat 1" of oil in a large, deep skillet over med-hi heat.

Coat slices of zucchini or whatever you use in the batter and place in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on each side. Transfer to paper towels to drain. You can keep the slices warm in a pre-heated 275 degree oven until everything is done.

I used cauliflower and zucchini and served banana raita and apricot-raisin chutney on the side :-).
