Friday Food Fun - Week 11 - Fresh Vegetable Recipes

Tomatoes: I slice them into wedges, sprinkle salt, pepper, and dill and eat them. Yum!

Bell Peppers: Slice into strips and sprinkle with salt.

Okra: I like to cut the ends off and steam them but my family prefers fried okra. They slice them into pieces about 3/4" wide and dip them in buttermilk and then dip them in cornmeal and fry them up.

Squash and zucchini: Slice and saute with a small yellow onion. Sometimes cover with cheese.

Black eyed peas: boil them in a pan of water, lightly salt them.

Green beans: When available, a little fatback lard or bacon is used, or else, beef bouillion cubes. Also when available, throw in fresh baby potatoes! Also good with sliced almonds.

Corn: sometimes boiled on the cob and buttered, but most of it is cut off and cooked with butter and a little salt.
