Lest you think that braising and stewing is only for meat, I’m reposting this recipe from last spring–it’s a great way to use up extra lettuce that you might get in your CSA share.

There’s a definite chill in the air, and summer is definitely over. Not sure how much longer fresh sweet corn will be available, but if you do have some to use up, this is an excellent side dish.

Okra is one of those vegetables I never cooked before working my way through Simply in Season. But I’ve come to enjoy it. This is a super simple recipe that’s a great side dish.

Pay no attention to the burnt parsnips in the photo; they tasted delicious, even if a bit overdone. Don’t blame the recipe; I’m sure you’ll pay more attention than I did!
