Farm to table, Valhalla style! We travelled through Spain a couple of sun circles ago, & since we were vegetarians in a meaty-seafoody kinda place, we practically had to live off of Gazpacho (AKA-Refreshing raw veggie & tomato soup), fresh bread & cheese, olives, vino and Spanish Tortilla (AKA-Egg & Potato Omelette).. So, we decided to recreate our fave dishes by growing as much of the produce as we could this season. Here’s what you see.. •Heirloom tomato cooked slightly then blended with raw tomato, cucumber, garlic, bell pepper, onion, EVOO, s & p, and a dash of basil infused vinegar. Place into bowl with fresh veggies of your choice, then top with basil infused EVOO & salt. •We threw a fried zucchini stuffed with marinated local mozza into this soup for good measure 😹. •We marinated those mozza balls in sundried tomatoes & lots of basil. *It’s best to salt your thin zucchini slices for about an hour to make them malleable (making sure to wash that salt off before using). •We egg & breaded the little flavour towns before frying them. *If needed, you could bake them for a lower fat option, or supplement the cheese with a herbed rice blend. Either way, this is a power house of flavour that is full of vitamins & antioxidants. It’s no wonder the people of Spain look as good as they do! •We made out tortilla with eggs, fingerling potatoes (any potato would work), olives and sundried tomatoes. *Cast iron with no crust is best for this one. •Served with a dollop of our own hot sauce infused yoghurt. Yummy! #farmtotable #microclimate #food #local #tapas #cowichanvalley #organicfarmer #slowfood #spanish #tapas #healthyeats #cheflife #foodie #internationalfoods
