Farmers Market Fare
As August turns to September, the seasons’ bounty becomes a mixed blessing of both summer and fall. The last of the sweet corn is sold alongside the first few small butternut squash. It’s time to relish the last of the beautiful heirloom tomatoes. The final week of berries, a longer lasting crop this year by the blessing of a milder summer. Eggplants and peppers fill the tables. And the zucchini, more than I could possibly ever cook, the zucchini. This has to be the most remarkable of times, this point where summer still bears fruit and autumn harvest begins as well.
There is simply no other time like it.
Here is a recipe that celebrates the last of summer’s bounty, all in one dish. The okra is a Cajun addition, giving the dish a twist on the classic French version of Ratatouille.
