When you’re leaving town...

What to do with vegetable bins full of late-summer produce when I'm leaving town tomorrow?
Reader, I roasted them.
Left: potatoes, onions, carrots, garlic, one small dark-green pepper which turned black when roasted.
Right: eggplant, celery, onion, garlic.


The tray of eggplant, with some tomatoes and tomato juice added, went into the freezer for winter. The potatoes will be our dinner. Not pictured: I had some fabulous parsley, which I made into a pesto-like dish with breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese (also in need of being used up!), and oil. I froze some and we ate some for lunch folded into an omelet. I hate to waste food.

  2. Roasting is my favourite way to make veggies as it brings out the best flavours of them. These are very yummy.

  3. We're eating down the fridge here today, too! Some things can stay for another couple of weeks but others, home, home, home or eat, eat, eat!
