Veggie-Packed Tomato Sauce

What? Canned tomatoes in a tomato sauce? Yes, that's right. Garden tomatoes are only available for a short time, but crushed canned tomatoes are on shelves year-round and packed with flavor.

Crispy Green Beans with Pesto

The trick to learning to like vegetables you hate is to disguise their appearance and flavor. Think about what it is you dislike about that particular vegetable.
I asked Fred why he's anti-green beans. It turns out that he remembers the long, mushy canned beans from childhood.
Step 1: Chop the beans into 1-inch pieces.
Step 2: Change texture. Sauté them in a bit of olive oil, salt and pepper on high heat until they're crispy on the outside and still slightly firm.
Step 3: Change the flavor: Add pesto (with homemade lemony basil from the co-op) and an extra bit of parmesan cheese!
Results: "Is this pasta?" Fred asks as I hand him a plate of beans. Submitted by: STEPFANIER

Skipped the pomegranate and used olive oil with a bit of balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Used heirloom tomatoes and are much better than standard tomatoes. - 1/25/15

I am not a salad person yet, but this was pleasing to the eye. Lots of color and not bad on taste either. I'm more of a soup person. A few more salads like this and that could change too. - 7/12/14

Subbed small handful of dried gogi berries for the pomegranate, it is currently out of season :( The gogis were nice though. - 3/28/16
