Title: Farm Fresh Produce - Now what to do with it?
Post by: Jadey on March 19, 2013, 02:51:33 am

My cousins are The Farmer & The Chef (http://www.farmhousedirect.com.au/thefarmerandthechef) and they've recently teamed up with Farmhouse Direct (http://www.farmhousedirect.com.au). They have seen me posting a million and one different food pics on Facebook and decided to send me their autumn veggie box.

Only problem is I have no idea what to do with it! So I have more capsicum, sweet peppers and chilli than I know what to do with.

What ideas do you have? I can't let any of it go to waste and I want them to see something spectacular from me.

I do have more than that obviously with garlic, zucchini (biggest I've ever seen) and butternut, but I think I can work with those.

Piperade is a fabulous French Basque capsicum casserole/sauce that uses lots of capsicums, and tastes and looks great.

Here is a link to Julia Child's recipe for piperade (http://www.grouprecipes.com/42922/julia-childs-piperade.html).   This is not a TMX recipe, but I am sure you could adapt it.

It can be eaten on its own, as a vegetable side dish, as a sauce over meat, or over a quiche or omellette.

Good luck!

Karen's idea is good.  I would also roast and peel some and freeze in small lots,  to use later on, on pizzas.

I would make a onion, garlic, chilli, capsicum relish, to go over cold meats ect.
