1. Tomatillo
2. Lettuce: Leaf, Red
3. Scallions
4. Cilantro
5. Mei Quing Choi
6. Eggplant
7. Pepper, Sweet
8. Beans: Green
Tomatillos- See Salsa Verde recipe which is part of the Fish Tacos post
Lettuce- used as a wrap for black eyed pea cakes (see previous post)
Cilantro: Green Rice
Make 1 cup of jasmine rice cooked in vegetable or chicken broth with 1 tablespoon of butter or olive oil.
Chop 1/2 cup of cilantro and add to the cooked rice
add 1/2 teaspoon of crushed cumin seeds and 1/2 teaspoon of crushed coriander seeds
cayenne pepper to taste
add 2 tablespoons lime juice
I've read a few recipes that suggest toasting the rice with onions or garlic and/or nuts. I like the sound of that.
Green Beans: Roasted with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Egg Plant and Peppers: Roasted with olive oil, balsamic, herbs (whatever is on hand), salt and pepper.
The scallions were used to make scallion and egg wontons. My new obsession.
Mei Quing Choi was sautéed with onion and covered in a sauce of cider vinegar, soy sauce, honey, red chili paste, peanut butter and red pepper flakes.
That's all folks.
