An Abundance of Tomatoes & Peppers

Jul 21, 2011 by     2 Comments    Posted under: blessings, Blogroll, food, Gardening, Spain


 It’s a good thing we love tomatoes, because this year we have a lot of them. The peppers also have gone wild and we have several varieties. Here are a few uses for the veggies:

    • gazpacho
    • we like to grill our peppers. In Spain they are served traditionally along side a Spanish tortilla.
    • stir fry~ a scrambled egg, a bit of chicken, all the veggies we have in the house: yesterday we had cabbage, peppers, tomatoes,  zucchini, onions, green beans,  garlic and rice. It helps to have some rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce and or oyster sauce.
    • broiled peppers are nice along side a fried egg & toast for a supper in Spain.

 

Lots of green beans from the garden!

Jalapeño Peppers

New Seeds to plant

It´s time to start my Jalapeño peppers indoor! Our friends Tom and Jeanne, sent me this fantastic seed catalog and offered to send me seeds. I chose 2: peppers and kale (see photo). These peppers are extra large and good for canning, which is my intention. Since  hot peppers and not available in Spain, I would like to can them and also can enough Mexican salsa to last 1 year.
