Corn Tomato Salad

8/28/2024

0 Comments

 
Ingredients
  • 5 ears  of fresh corn
  • 2 cups sun gold tomatoes (or super ripe cherry tomatoes), halved
  • 1/4 cup very small-diced red onion, or Vidalia or scallions 
  • 1 tbsp. red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
 
Instructions
  1. Cook the corn.  If you haven’t tried using the microwave to do it, you’re missing a sure bet.  We haven’t used any other method since we were introduced to it.  Check it out here.
  2. Once cool enough, cut the corn off the cob.
  3. Add the corn to a large bowl with the tomatoes, red onion, vinegar, and olive oil. Sprinkle with a good amount of salt and pepper, to taste.
  4. Flavors develop over time so refrigerating for at least an hour is recommended.
  5. Just before serving, toss in the fresh basil. Taste again for seasonings (add more salt if necessary!) and serve cold or at room temperature.

Easy Sauteed Eggplant

8/7/2024

0 Comments

 
Ingredients 
1 Globe Eggplant, ~1lb – rinsed and dried
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil, plus more as needed

Optional Garnishes
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh herbs, such as fresh basil leaves or parsley
1 pinch of red pepper flakes, optional

Instructions 
  1. Slice eggplant crosswise in ½-inch-thick rounds.
  2. Sprinkle eggplant slices with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat half of the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the eggplant slices in a single layer and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until it is slightly caramelized and turned golden brown.
  4. Before sauteing the remaining eggplant slices, pat them dry on both sides with a paper towel, as they tend to sweat as they sit. Repeat the cooking process using the remaining olive oil for the rest of the eggplant.
  5. Transfer the now-pan-fried eggplant onto a plate and garnish with parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, and chili flakes, if desired.
