Having been more or less in lockdown for these months I have to honestly say I am heartily sick of cooking. Or maybe I should say I'm sick of my OWN cooking. But since Pete doesn't cook, it's my own or nothing. The one saving grace has been all the fresh produce from the garden. Here are a few recipes I've tried this summer that are keepers.
Fresh tomato tart. This is from the Midwest Living website and so simple. Made with meaty heirloom tomatoes and lots of basil fresh from the garden it is just delicious. I like to use the less juicy Amish paste or Brad's atomic tomatoes but Cherokee Purple would knock the flavor out of the park, too. The only tweak I might try next time I make it is to crumble some bacon in it. We eat a pretty clean "whole-foods-plant-based diet" but when summer comes with the heirloom tomato riches I can tell you...we eat bacon with those tomatoes! Served with fresh sweet corn, this is summer eating at its best.
