Week 11: On a roll
What a lovely assortment of stuff this week! An eggplant! Hot peppers! A tomato the size of my head! Since I’m around this weekend, for the first time in a while, I have no reason to fear that we’ll have any trouble gobbling up all this tastiness. I foresee eggplant parmesan, more tomato sandwiches, some spicy stir fry, and maybe… mojitos? Yum.
Wednesday night, I used the purple potatoes to make purple French fries. I’d had purple potatoes twice before—once in chip form (one of those artsy brands of tri-color chips), and once in ice cream form (in Japan, where purple potato ice cream is popular, very delicious, and a really gorgeous color). They’re kinda sweet, but not as sweet as sweet potatoes. And they made some awesome fries! I roasted them with salt, pepper, rosemary, and olive oil, and they had such a delicious flavor.
In the “after” picture, you see them served beside what I have come to refer to as “Robin burgers,” because I had them for the first time when my friend Robin made them for me when I was visiting her in Morgantown, and she was kind enough to photocopy the recipe for me. They’re made with red peppers, couscous, and an assortment of curry-ish spices, and they always turn out awesome.
