Peperonata, is an Italian vegetable stew typically composed of tomatoes, garlic, and bell peppers. It can be used in so many ways. We have been known to use this as the base for shakshuka (delicious egg dish), grilling brats and slicing them in, adding it to a frittata, on top of polenta, or just eating it with a good loaf of crusty bread.  It scales up easily and freezes beautifully.

There are so many ways to make salsa that it is really hard to go wrong if you have farm fresh ingredients! Salsa is another place to be creative! Here is one sure fire example of taking salsa to the next level. This salsa can be eaten fresh and not cooked or you can follow the instructions to preserve it for winter eating.

It also makes a great addition to rice dishes, salads, tacos, and egg wraps. We’ve even put it on a Mexican-style pizza with cotija and chorizo.
