Zucchini Among Us
I just realized how important the zucchini has become to my life. It not only nourishes me but provides part of my income. When it’s in season I eat it almost every day. I like to chop it up with whatever else I can pull from the garden and stir fry in a little olive oil. I usually put it in a wrap with some salsa and greens. I harvested my first last Saturday and added it along with turnips, onion, garlic flowers, sweet potato from last year’s harvest, arugula, kale, mountain mint, basil, and borage to the cast iron skilled. I just love it, a constantly shifting pallet of flavors centered around my friend, zucchini. Bless you my friend, may the squash bugs meet my ‘watch dog’ praying mantises and leave us be.
