This was our first "real" week of the community shared agriculture crop share. After watching One Direction perform at work (hello fantastic perks!), my friend and I went to pick up our share. This week they had tons of good things, including zucchini and patty pan squash. Now I hate squash. My mom could tell stories for days about how much we all hate squash. While the main purpose of the CSA was to get a variety of veggies for T, I also wanted the hubby and me to try more veggies as well. One of my co-workers, who is a CSA veteran, said the key to using your veggies is to make dishes with as many as possible.
One of the tips given by the farmer was to grill the zucchini. To spice it up, I drizzled olive oil over the zucchini and patty pan, then added fresh cilantro, basil, and garlic scape. We cooked it on our trusty grill pan for a few minutes each side. Delicious! Mark wasn't a fan of the zucchini but had 2nd of the patty pan.
Now for Miss T's portion. I chopped hers as well, then wrapped it in a foil pack with a little bit of water. After sealing it up, we tossed it on the grill while the rest of our food was cooking. I removed it from the grill after about 15 minutes, then set it on the stove top to cool/finish steaming while we ate. It turned out perfectly! They pureed well without having to add any liquid.
