Cooked up a storm last night, a menu that certainly straddled the shoulder season, transitioning from summer to autumn. Now, folks in Seattle will grumble that we didn't really have a summer, but after checking the temps in Memphis and other hot spots, I say: Right on!
I picked up these green tomatoes at the farmer's market at Lake Forest Park, on its final Sunday. The chanterelles were on sale at the Met Market, the halibut was not: $20 a pound. Ouch.
The potatoes roasted in my trusty cast iron skillet were another farmer's market find. I have been absolutely blown away by the quality of the produce at these neighborhood markets. Incredible.
Anyway, I served the fried green tomatoes with an Asian accent -- spicy miso mayo. Dang good!
What are you cooking these cool nights?

Leslie, you should try Edna Lewis's lamb shanks braised with green tomatoes. It is not a combination that I would have thought of, but it certainly works. Of four shanks, my wife and I each got one and our son, who is picky, ate the other two.
ReplyDeleteI am going to make chicken pot pie tonight, though it's not that cold down here. I've been craving it.
