Salsa Verde

I got tomatillos in the CSA share a couple weeks ago, so I thought I would try to make some salsa verde. There are lots of recipes online, but I went with Cookie & Kate's Salsa Verde.
I followed it pretty much to the letter, I may have omitted the jalepenos, but I can't remember now.
We had it with some quesadillas and I thought it was very good. Ebon didn't like it, but Leela readily dipped her chips in it.
I had some leftover, so I froze it. I think I'll try to make some Enchilada Verde sometime in the near future. Or maybe I'll make some breakfast burritos and put it on. The possibilities are many!

Eggplant and Tomato Pie

I am still working through our CSA veggies. I decided to make the New York Times Eggplant and Tomato Pie. It worked out pretty well because I had frozen pie dough and marinara, in addition to the CSA eggplant and plethora of tomatoes from the garden.
It went together easily enough. I roasted the eggplant ahead of time, while I was working from home. Then at dinner time, I put everything together and baked it all up.


I thought it looked pretty and tasted good, but it wasn't as well received by the rest of the family. Though Leela said she liked the eggplant and took a few bites of it, which I was pleasantly surprised by. In the end, I'm not sure if the pie dough was the right choice. I also had frozen pizza dough, so that or the dough from the recipe may have been a better choice.
