In this class we will tour my Calabrian garden and prepare a meal with the vegetables that we harvest. At this time of the year my garden will be full of ripe tomatoes, Italian sweet peppers, eggplants, hot peperoncini, and, I hope, lots of figs! Following the tour we will meet in the kitchen at Paulding and Company with our harvest and prepare a meal from the fruits and vegetables we have gathered.
We will start with a homemade pasta tossed in a sauce made with ripe San Marzano tomatoes roasted in the oven. We will also prepare a tomato salad with sweet red onions from the garden. Then we will fry whole sweet Italian peppers with anchovies inside that are out of this world. We will fix a classic eggplant dish from Calabria and finish it all off with a beautiful cake layered with fresh figs and pastry cream.
