Thursday's random vegetables

Today's biokiste had tomatoes and basil in it leaving me no choice but to make tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Luckily Coop has nice Italian buffalo mozzarella, so this is no problem. I'm surprised by the tomatoes, which actually had some flavor. It seems early in the season for that.

Another biokiste item (from both last week and this one) was smallish thin carrots. I took some of those, scrubbed them, cooked them in stock until just tender, and then mixed them with freshly ground cumin, black pepper, salt, a pinch of cayenne, olive oil, and a splash of sherry vinegar. After letting these marinate for a bit they made a very nice side.

We also had leftover sauteed vegetables and leftover potatoes with cheese sauce.

Wine: Cantino Giordano 2006 Primitivo Rosato. What a lovely "white zinfandel" this was too. :-)

Dessert: frozen raspberries macerated and served on top of quark mixed with sugar and yuzu.
