Sweet Pepper And/Or HOT Chili Martoonis :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::



  When peppers are plentiful in the late summer, preserve them in voddy or gin w/ a float of frenet or other amaro.  You’ll taste the summer all winter long w/ these tasty Martoonis  


 

Gin is making a come back these days.  There are so many flavors.  Traditional gin had a strong juniper berry taste.  Not so anymore.  Talk to your local experts and taste the new herbs & spices that perfume the wide variety of blends available now.

Santa Fe Yam & Bean Bowl :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::








Harvest Hero Laura Jauregui posted an enticing veggie laden yam taco photo in the Facebook Harvest Recipe Club.  It inspired the easy side dishes & the savory Santa Fe Yam & Bean Bowl recipes we feature this week. This is one of the most beautiful & easy buffets to layout for friends & family.  We used both our Summer Squash & Salsa & Easiest Pickled Onions in this layered flavor bowl.









Leftovers can be rolled into enchiladas, quesadillas or simply served w/ warm soft tortillas as a fast and easy taco.  Cook up a good half of your harvest early in the week, and spoon out flavor for days to come.

Summer Squash & Salsa Hack :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::






Summer squashes simmered in your favorite salsas yield a satisfying side dish.  But that’s just the start.  They make a great base for a wide variety of main dishes for lunch, brunch & dinner.  Try it w/ our Huevos Rancheros & our upcoming Shakshuka recipe



This recipe is so easy, fire up two skillets at once & make two batches.  They are super good w/ scramble or fried eggs in the am for breakfast.  This recipe actually works better w/ jarred salsa, so keep a few jars in the pantry ready for when the squash arrives.

Pepper Party! Stuffed Pepper Hack :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::










 

Remember that what some call leftovers are a kitchen magician’s best friend.  Morph yesterday’s meal into today’s deliciousness.  It’s pepper season, so make stuffed mini pepper appetizers & larger pepper entrees.  Warm in the oven or micro and lunch is ready before you can say Buon Apetito!  We used Apple Cheddar Omelette & Butternut Squash Risotto to stuff this simply roasted peppers. 


 

In addition to peppers, stuff zucchini or eggplant boats.  Tomatoes are wonderful, hot from the oven stuffed w/ rice or pasta dishes.  Cooking a little extra today insures a beautiful meal in minutes t’rrow.

Apple Cheddar Omelette :: Chef Mark Cleveland @ Hungry Harvest ::











A beautiful presentation & the perfect combo of savory & sweet, this elegant omelette is easy to make.  Cheddar cheese isn’t as yellow as it once was, so add a pinch of curry powder for flavor & color








I garnished mine w/ mascarpone & pomegranate molasses.  I used some left over omelette to stuff mini zsa zsa peppers for a delectable & beautiful appetizer, garnished w/ mascarpone & fresh thyme.
