Hey all! I just returned from our local farmer's market with some beautiful carrots, pattypan squash, fresh mint, blueberries, and something called California Cajun okra. I am looking for some "tried and true" recipe ideas for these.
The carrots I usually glaze or roast. Boring! Looking for something different yet won't make my son stick his fingers in his nose, shake his head and shreak "Not this kind!"
This is my first attempt at the squash - anything different to expect from regular yellow summer squash?
Mint? I'm thinking a really good mojito (I need it after dealin' with that kid all day.) or the classic peas, maybe some sort of salad (pasta, cucumber?)
Blueberries - I love them in everything: pancakes, muffins, poundcake, plain, syrup, etc. I saw a recipe for blueberries in a salsa somewhere. Anyone tried it?
The okra I'm curious about. They are very short and stubby and I am told that they are the same as regular okra but used a lot in Cajun/Creole cooking. I live in the south and have spent a significant amount of time in Southern Louisiana yet I have never seen them.
What suggestions do you all have for these yummy ingredients?
