'Maters 'n Salt

[Miss Molly]

Ripe garden tomatoes + Salt = drool

Even better with white gravy

Everything is better with gravy.

I am a big fan of mates halved, cated lightly with olive oil and then sprinkled with coarse salt, oregano, mozzarella and feta. THEN stuck in a broiler until the cheese is melted and a little burned.

But 'maters 'n salt is a cool, juicy, 2 second snack.  ^^That sounds like "cooking."

Nope. It's usually the quick appetizer I make when I am cooking big time. It takes all of two seconds to half and put stuff on them and it tastes delicious.

I love rich tasting foods that are amazingly quick to make. Tonight I made beef stroganoff, roasted asparagus, and steamed carrots for dinner in less than 30 minutes. That included all the prep, cooking and plating time.

[swolt]

tonight I made pancakes because it is only food in the house. YUM!

[dazie]

I'm going to make pickled jalapenos again, and also pickled green 'maters.  Wooo!

[JJ]

How do you pickle them, dazie?

Man, I had some pickled okra once, and it totally totally ruled.

I just made pickled beets and pickled carrots this weekend.

[dazie]

Vinegar, water, oil, spices...  I'm actually going to attempt to CAN this time instead of wussing out and making fridge pickles.

SHE TAKES THEM BARHOPPING

Canning is pretty damn intense. I usually just throw my jars in the oven until they are simmering inside, but still keep them in the fridge.

Man, do I ever have a story of domestic unrest on the beet pickling day. But that's neither here nor there.

What's Okra?

[cnamon]

I think we need to find the Nishi Pickled Beets reading.

Pure. Gold.

I can't tell if you're kidding or not.

He is.

He's kidding.  He's from Irmo - home of the famous Okra Strut.

At least, I hope he's kidding.

[dazie]

I just put 5 jars of jalapenos and mixed jalapeno and green tomato in the pot to process for 10 minutes.  Yay!

AND- I still have a bunch of peppers and stuff left, so I'm going to make more.

I went to my parents house tonight and my mom had boiled peanuts. OMG YUM!

I've only ever had boiled peanuts as part of an Indian lentil dish.

Maybe I oughta try boiling some of the raw ones I got at the chinese grocery...

Just get regular peanuts and cook them with salt and a ham bone.  So yummy!

I don't think you understand the level of salt DS is talking about. Add enough salt so you say "I think I put in too much salt." Then add more.

The thought of boiled peanuts makes me queasy.
