Dara’s 5 Ways to Make the Most of August Produce
One of my favorite things about summer is how easily you can live off the land. Everything just tastes so much more flavorful this time of year. I love being able to walk outside in Little Compton and choose what to make for dinner based on what’s ripe in the garden. Now that summer is almost coming to a close, I’m making the most of any opportunity to cook with homegrown ingredients. Our crop of fruits and vegetables is growing in such abundance, it’s almost hard to keep up! Fortunately I have a few go-to recipes and favorite preparation methods that I always fall back on. For inspiration, here are 5 ways I’m planning to use up the last of our August produce.
1. Zucchinis Our zucchinis have been growing like crazy this year. I've had so much fun getting creative and finding different ways to use them. I like slicing them lengthwise on a mandolin and adding lemon zest, toasted hazelnuts, olive oil, shaved parmesan, and salt and pepper for a refreshing salad.
