From about June to October, through St. Joseph
University Church, I get a bag of vegetables
each week from Porter Farms in Elba, New
York, about 40 miles from where I live. So
far
this year, I have kept up with the supply
of kale and zucchini and we have had watermelon,
muskmelon, Swiss chard and eggplant among
the more common stuff. The following recipe
used up a few offerings one week and I made
it on a couple occasions. I hope you like
it.
