My friends have an organic farm not too far from our house. They grow delicious and exceptional quality produce for the local community. The farm was started by Matt, a construction company owner turned farmer with passion for vegetables and for sustainable agriculture. After leaving his career he began farming the land in Eastport, soon his son joined him and now together with a skilled and dedicated farm team they grow over fifty varieties of vegetables. The farm is nestled on the big parcel of pristine farmland protected by a farmland preservation program on Long Island.
Once in a while, I have fresh vegetables delivered to our home. Last time I received a basket of gorgeous zucchini and squash. One night I made a zucchini spaghetti with tomato sauce, but I still had a lot of leftovers.
Matt suggested zucchini with harissa, but since I couldn’t find any (I could have sworn I had it) I changed the spices to Indian tandoori, sumac and touch of cayenne paper for heat. This dish is very simple and quick to make. I brought it as a contribution to my friends’ dinner and all the guests liked it. I still have plenty of zucchini and squash left, so if you have any good recipes please send them my way.
