Vegetable and goat cheese lasagna. It has my home grown tomatoes in it, low-carb lasagna noodles, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and for the vegetables, mostly squash: yellow and zucchini, plus eggplant. Mozzarella, of course, and plenty of garlic.
The RG made the most incredible salad. The tomatoes were so good that I had to ask how he did it, so here are the instructions:
Step 1
Ingredients: garlic, sea salt, basil, good quality of olive oil, a sealable plastic bag
Crush garlic, put salt on garlic. Chop it up, then flatten it with side of knife. Put salt on garlic. Flatten with knife and put contents in bag. Add olive oil and put in a good deal of basil. Four-five leaves. Seal bag and then pound. Open bag and put in tomatoes. Can be any kind. Pound the tomatoes.
Step 2
Now you have a slurry of tomato, garlic, and basil. Chop up any vegetable you're going to put in the salad plus the greens. Drizzle olive oil and vinegar on the vegetables. Add some more salt. Add more olive oil on top. Put all of these items in a gallon-plastic bag and coat everything very well. Put the ingredients from Step One and mix.
The greens were very fresh, so I folded my lettuce leaves and put the tomatoes and other vegetables in it and had it like a taco.
One of the best salads I've ever had in my life!
Dessert. Supposed to be none, but I had to go out after dinner and sneaked a brownie from the Dunkin' Donuts. I wanted chocolate in the worst way.
