CSA Challenge Meals #20, #21

Rice with tomatoes and greens, tomatillo sauce and pan fried halibut

We steamed some rice in the rice cooker with a can of diced tomatoes and chopped up "spicy greens" mix from the CSA. Leah made a spicy sauce from roasted tomatillos, roasted jalepenos, roasted green onions, lime, cumin and garlic. She pan fried some onions and halibut and then simmered the fish and onions in the sauce and served it over the rice with avocados and tortillas on the side. The sauce was really delicious and went great with the fish!

Zucchini bread

Ah, zucchini bread... the best use for zucchini, in my opinion! I'm not the biggest fan of summer squash, so I made this on Friday evening, before dinner. It made a very nice dessert and snack over the next few days.

Baked porkchop, broiled zucchini with asiago and warm potato salad

Even after making the zucchini bread (2 loaves!), we still had a zucchini left. I had to look up online some interesting way to prepare it and found this, which turned out really nice. Just cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, brush with a little butter and sprinkle on some grated asiago cheese (or parmesan) and broil in the oven for about 10 mins, til it browns. The potato salad is boiled fingerlings tossed with a pumpkin-seed oil, dijon and sherry vinegar dressing while still warm.
