This week’s CSA included eggplants, cherry tomatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, cubanelle peppers, sweet corn, and basil.
Cubanelle peppers: also known as Italian sweets or banana peppers, cubanelle peppers have a sweet flavor and are usually stuffed or used in salads and casseroles. Try slicing them up and putting them on pizzas or inside sandwiches!
Basil: originally from India, basil is now a prominent seasoning used in Italian cuisine. Try adding some to your next pasta dish!
