When the heat index rises above 113 degrees you might think pulling out the grill is a horrible idea. You would be wrong. It just makes ice cold Pinot Grigio taste that much better while assembling the evening's feast. It was cabin cooking this past Saturday and the list of ingredients was simple and garden grown (sans Focaccia). One of the highlights from my backyard this year has been Iraq Tomatoes. Yup, from Iraq. And thanks to the oppressive heat smothering the midwest this August they are preforming brilliantly. As are the Hansel Eggplants, which continue to multiply beyond expectation.I love Focaccia. I didn't know it's name until this week, but I've always had a special place in my heart reserved for it. I could eat every sandwich on Focaccia. Something about how it soaks up flavor and juices. I know that sounds dirty, but as you may know, it's amazing.
Slice three Hansels (or the eggplant of your choice) lengthwise, season those babies and grill'em up. Prep some pesto (see Stuffed Portabellos and Homemade Pesto, July 23) and you have your condiment. Slice up some fresh tomatoes and you're all set It's also not bad with a little cream brie on the bread of your choice. Carb it up!!
