Cucumbers … and the Summer Bounty
September 24, 2007 | 50 Comments
This summer was a good one for our garden. Here’s a view of the fruits and veggies we grew.
Our plump cucumbers were a real treat sprinked with salt and cayenne.
We also juiced them with limes.
Strawberry Ice Cubes with two varieties of Strawberries
Xacuti and Cauliflower Leaves (Three Ways) with Cauliflower
Methi Malai Buns and Valor Muthia Nu Shaak with Fenugreek (Methi)
Ridiculously Easy Icecream with Raspberries
Radish Overdose with Radishes
The Taste of Red with Watermelon
Matar Paneer, Risi e Bisi and Pea (pod) and Mint Soup with three varieties of Peas
Egg Fried Rice with Purple Spring Onions
Pizza with Crookneck Squash
Dal with Colocasia (Arvi/Taro) Leaves
Brussels Sprouts in Lemon-Mustard Sauce and Haak with Brussels Sprouts Leaves
Potato Bhaji with Yukon Gold Potatoes
Green Tomatoes - two ways
Roasted Green Tomato, Avocado and Poblano Salsa
Chocolate Pudding infused with Lavender
Besanwale Bhindi with Okra
In addition to these, we grew mint, cilantro, pineapple sage, thyme, oregano, rosemary, three types of basil, Thai chillies, and garlic shoots.
Our season’s bounty goes to dear Deepz @ Letz Cook for the Green Blog Project for Summer 2007. The event was InjiPennu‘s idea. Inji, how can we bribe you to come out of hiding?
