There are a lot of things in the veggie garden right now, including tons of tomatillos...hopefully a salsa verde recipe will follow soon...
I also have 12 peaches! Not bad considering that the tree came from a discarded stone...and they taste great!
But the best thing is to be able to make the summer minestrone with whatever I can get in the garden. Today: leek, borlotti and green and yellow beans, zucchini, carrots, celery, parsley, tomato....
Just shell the beans, wash the veggies, cut everything into small pieces and make into a soup. adding salt, herbs and spices to taste (like a spoonful of basil pesto at the end) or a crust of Parmigiano to the stock, for more flavour. Serve hot or just warm, or even cold in a hot day.
