I finally got to make my first dinner using something from our garden! It was pretty exciting, although unfortunately the only things ready to eat right now are our herbs. Both of our basil plants were starting to get pretty big, so I attacked them with a pair of clippers and came up with 5 large sprigs.
The question was, what to do with that much fresh basil? Green curry, of course! YUMMMM!
I stole this picture from somebody's food blog, because I never remember to take pictures of anything I cook- partly because Frank attacks it the minute it's finished and there just isn't time to set up the perfect presentation! But you get the idea. Green curry paste, coconut milk, a bunch of veggies, some stir fried chicken tossed in and a heap of fresh basil. Very tasty!
Looking forward to more fresh goodies coming out of that garden. The tomatoes continue to sprout and grow, and we should have plenty ready to pick within the next month. My two roma plants have really exploded in the last week and there are easily a dozen baby tomatoes growing on each- which means I need to start looking up tomato sauce recipes! I have never made a pasta sauce from scratch and am excited to try.
