OKRA WITH TOMATOES (BAMIEH) OVER BASMATI RICE

As we head into the summer there is an amazing display of new fresh vegetables at the market.  It truly is a shoppers delight to see.  This middle eastern vegetarian dish is simple in content but packed with flavor.

Ingredients / Vendor:

Okra / Madison's
Olive Oil / Deans Mediterranean
Lemon, Garlic, Tomatoes / Madison's
Coriander, Salt, Pepper / Herbs & Spice & Everything Nice
Basmati Rice / Saigon Market





Recipe from "Sahtein" the Middle East Cookbook.

Okra is unique in its form and flavor.  This is a one pot dish, that simmers all ingredients together in the same pot, thus it's super easy to make and you can get it right every time.  Did we mention that it's delicious. Fresh makes it best.>>Support your local businesses and farmers. Support Findlay Market.

MERGUEZ & LEEK PIZZA w/ GARLIC BASIL OLIVE OIL & PILSNER

Ah, grill season. We were so glad when the temperatures finally opened the grill. Our favorite grill session is grilled pizzas. If you haven't tried this it is a must. Not only is it so fresh and delicious, but it is really fast. Just prep your ingredients, roll out the dough, grill for 5 minutes and you're done.

Ingredients / Vendor:

Pizza Dough / Angelina's
Merguez Sausage / Kroeger & Sons
Onion, Garlic, Basil / Madison's

No recipe required, just top with what you like.

One of these days, when we need a break from Architecture, we'll go into the pizza business!
