🍅 From Garden to Table - What Goes Into a Seasonal Dish
One dish, many countries - ratatouille in France, caponata in Italy, pisto in Spain. They all use the same late summer vegetables cooked slowly together.
Key garden ingredients:
- Japanese and Mediterranean eggplants
- Fresh onions and garden tomatoes
- Peppers (including spicy ones)
- Zucchini flowers
The Spanish approach is simple - chop everything and cook it low and slow until flavors blend beautifully. It works as a stew or a sauce.
Sustainability tip: Save your pepper seeds, dry them in the sun, and plant them to grow up to 20 new plants. Nature's own recycling system.
