Gazpacho Andaluz

2023-08-07T08:23:15-04:00August 7th, 2023|Cooking With VT Fresh|

Recipes often hold a story and can be a window into the past; gazpacho is no exception. Deeply rooted in the history of Andalusia, Spain, gazpacho’s journey from “rags to riches” reflects Spain’s diverse culture and agricultural bounty. From the humble origins of soaked bread to its current celebration of abundance, the star status of gazpacho as the quintessential dish of Andalusia, is well earned. As they say in Spain, “De gazpacho no hay empacho.” translation: there’s never too much gazpacho.

Panko Crusted Baked Tomato Slices

2023-06-06T09:42:54-04:00June 6th, 2023|Cooking With VT Fresh|

An abundance of late summer tomatoes and a chilly evening inspired this recipe. After a rather dormant summer for my oven, the cool nights began to roll in signaling the beginning of the menu changes. With the addition of a few simple ingredients and a good dose of love the tomatoes were transformed into Panko Crusted Baked Tomato Slices, the result was spectacular! After the recipe photo shoot there were plenty of volunteers to help with the "clean-up".

Onion, Tomato & Scallion Salad

2023-02-10T10:44:35-05:00February 10th, 2023|Cooking With VT Fresh|

The tip to balancing a rich & hearty main is to pair it with a light & acidic side. Onion, Tomato & Scallion Salad adds lively flavor and texture to the heartiest of meals. The secret to any raw onion recipe is to soften the sharp bite, the best way to mellow the heat is to chill out, literally. Soaking your onion slices in ice water for 2 hours will remove the pungent flavor and add a delightful crispness to the onions. This simple salad pairs well with stews, hearty bean dishes, smokey charred proteins and game. Nothing but tears of joy for our Onion, Tomato & Scallion Salad!

Rhubarb and Tomato Stew

2022-08-24T10:32:22-04:00June 30th, 2022|Cooking With VT Fresh|

This recipe explores rhubarb beyond the classic pairing of strawberries. Why tomatoes? Sweet tomatoes are naturally a bit acidic; the sweet and sour punch of rhubarb deepens the flavor of the tomatoes! The result is tomatoes that taste like a better version of themselves. Rhubarb and Tomato Stew is easy to prepare, stores well and is super versatile. It is great served over warm biscuits, as a side to dish to pork, chicken, or beef. For a true culinary delight, serve warm, topped with vanilla ice cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Delish!!
