Summer’s Sweet Spot
There are certain moments in the growing season that feel like a reward for all the waiting, and the arrival of summer’s first tomatoes is surely one of them. This week’s Farm & Larder box celebrates that sweet spot of the season, when sun-ripened heirloom and cherry tomatoes share the stage with fragrant basil, sweet summer apricots, crisp greens, farm-fresh eggs, Bellsong Creamery cheese, and an abundance of beautiful vegetables. Whether you’re planning a backyard 4th of July gathering, or a simple dinner on the porch, this week’s box offers a delicious taste of summer at its peak.
Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
Baked Eggs with Heirloom Tomatoes
Juicy tomatoes, fresh herbs and a touch of cream lend rich appeal to this dish.
Bietola Swiss Chard Gratin
Creamy with just a hint of mustard, this rustic gratin is incredibly satisfying.
Carrots Marinated with Garlic & Oregano
This room-temperature dish packs in the flavor and makes for a lovely, make-ahead side dish.
Grilled Heirloom Tomato Vinaigrette
In addition to salad greens, this bright and robust dressing is wonderful tossed with pasta, or drizzled over steamed or grilled artichokes.
Grilled Apricots with Honey Riccotone & Crushed Berries
Grilling the apricots here brings out their natural sweetness, and the red and blue berry topping gives it a patriotic touch.
