To celebrate all things summer, we have loaded the meal ideas with flavor this week…of course, helping you make the most of fresh, in-season ingredients! The Garden Vegetable Tagine is delicious and is a great way to enjoy all the in-season flavors. The Watermelon Basil Gazpacho and Charred Tomato Salad are also incredibly good right now!
Okra and spaghetti squash are now ready for harvesting in many parts of the country. We think you will enjoy the Orange Balsamic Roasted Okra (our teenage son loves this one), and the Spaghetti Squash Hash is perfect for breakfast or dinner on a busy weeknight!
As you know, grilling vegetables is one of our favorite things to do in the summer and, to keep it interesting, we encourage you to try the Grilled Zucchini Pizza and the Stuffed Squash Taco Boats…they were both a hit with the whole family!
Finally, it’s August, which means it’s Hatch Chile time! Several years ago, we discovered Hatch chiles and we have never been the same since! Hatch chile refers to varieties of chiles grown in Hatch Valley, New Mexico. The soil and growing conditions in Hatch Valley contribute to the unique flavor of the chiles grown there. Hatch Valley is at 4,000 foot elevation, so it gets hot during the day, and then cools off at night. This hot to cool condition gives the chiles a unique taste compared to peppers from other parts of New Mexico. Locals will tell you real Hatch chiles are the best and it isn’t a Hatch chile if it’s not from Hatch Valley! Check out our coaching tip to learn more and try them on the Hatch Chile Burgers this week!
