Recipes

Tomato and Squash Gratin
This is summer in a dish! Delicious and not too heavy!
From thekitchn.com
Serves 4
5 to 6 medium yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise
3 to 4 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/3 to 1/2 cup olive oil
15 to 20 whole basil leaves
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Place one layer of sliced squash in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Top with a layer of sliced tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper and a few basil leaves. Generously drizzle olive oil over everything and sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese on top. Repeat in the same order until you run out of vegetables. The top layer should be tomatoes.

Add a final toss of Parmesan and a generous coating of breadcrumbs and more olive oil. Bake until everything is soft, bubbly and brown on top (about 30 to 40 minutes). Serve as a side dish with whatever you’re grilling or with a bean salad or pasta dish for a complete meal.

Market News

Hello!

It is hard to believe it is almost August! As we enter the “dog days” of summer, we hope you find plenty of time to float in some water, swing in a hammock, and eat lots of great summer food! The Fall days are not too far off, and it is hard to believe there will be a time in the coming months when there will be no more tomatoes! Meanwhile, we’ve got lots of great hot weather produce for you to enjoy now and put up for later.

…If you haven’t ordered yourself a bouquet yet this summer, how about treating yourself? The summer flowers are in full force, with lots of colorful zinnias and celosias. They are a wonderful addition to any home – yours or that of a friend..

The Bloomy Rind is on vacation this week – a working one! Kathleen is in Providence R.I at a cheese artisan conference, where surely she will discover lots of amazing new cheeses for us to try! Next week the selection will be back up.

Meanwhile, please enjoy the blueberries while they are here! The Peach Truck has let us know their peach season is winding down, so this may be the last week to buy their peaches.

We certainly appreciate your support. We know you have many options for buying local produce these days, and are thankful to you for ordering your good veggies, fruits, meats and eggs through Fresh Harvest!

Thanks so much – and we’ll see you on Wednesday!

John and Tallahassee
