A few simple things…
We’re in the thick of summer here. Sunshine and blue skies followed by long, warm evenings, perfect for stargazing from the hammock. The daylight is starting to change a little with a golden hue that reminds me that we are in the midst of a fleeting season. Along with all of this goodness, the garden is starting to come together. Things are growing and beginning to tangle just a bit—the beans wandering into the peppers, the tall cavolo nero shading the little seedlings and the tomatoes, oh, the tomatoes. They can hardly contain themselves, arching over the beds and shading the pathway from six feet up.
It’s easy to get wrapped up with the fresh harvest with most meals. Oftentimes, all I can muster for dinner is a giant bowl of salad, plucked fresh from the garden or toted home from a market adventure. But sometimes in the midst of all this freshness, I crave a change of pace with something savory and cooked. And not just a little swish in the frying pan or bath of salty steam. This craving calls for an hour of gentle simmering on the back corner of the stove.
Actually, this dish is perfect for those late summer meals where you might have other things going on in the kitchen, but still want dinner. Since it requires little prep work, it pairs perfectly with a canner of peaches bubbling away or a small pot of apricot jam, just to name a few. This is one of those recipes that makes the most of precious little—quality ingredients and a little time. Mixed together, they yield the most delicious results.
