A Fun New Meal!

Our weather has been warm for October and the summer crops are still producing, but...my body wants soups and stews. We did grill veggies this week and I made a couple of soups/stews. What are you making with your harvest? Email me at lindadansbury@comcast.net and please put Anchor Run in the subject line so I can find your message.

Sweet peppers, eggplant, shishitos, onions, potatoes (that were par boiled) - grilled them and then drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled smoked sea salt on them - it was delicious.

Leeks - made Melted Leeks. I have eaten these in restaurants, but never made them - they are so easy! I found the recipe I am adding this week after I made the leeks and served alongside a roasted chicken. I kept thinking that salmon would be great with them, and then found Slow Cooker Citrus Salmon with Melted Leeks - a 1 pot meal. If you want, you can just do the leeks this way and serve them with something else.

Arugula, tomatoes - made one of my favorite salads - simply toss arugula and chopped up tomatoes with olive oil, fresh lemon juice, sea salt and pepper. Delicious with anything.

Pumpkin, sweet peppers, hot pepper, Swiss chard - made a Slow Cooker Chicken and Pumpkin Curry. Most Asian grocery stores have ready made red curry paste. The one I had wasn't as flavorful as I would have liked so I doctored it up by adding a hot pepper, and more paste than it called for. But, served this to friends and they loved it. I have added the recipe.
