It’s been awhile. So far August has proved to be the craziest month in the Markum house this year. Between family visiting, birthday parties, and weekend trips, I’ve barely had time to sleep, let alone blog. The crazy train doesn’t show signs of stopping anytime soon, so I figure I just better get on board and enjoy the ride!
August is the ultimate month for summer produce, our CSA box was so full this week, we could barely carry it out of the market! With almost everything at peak season , it's the perfect time to enjoy lots of delicious vegetable side dishes!
Sautéed Sweet Corn with Basil
Serves 4
6 Ears of corn
2 1/2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 Teaspoon Salt
1 Teaspoon pepper
7-8 Leaves Basil, julienned
Shuck the ears of corn, making sure to remove all the little strings. Stand corn upright on cutting board. Run a knife downwards, removing corn kernels. In a large sauté pan, add corn, butter, salt and pepper, cook over medium high heat. After about 8 minutes of cooking, add basil. Cook until corn starts to pop, about 10 minutes. Season to taste and serve immediately.

Serves 4
1 Pound green beans, ends trimmed
1 Clove garlic, finely grated
1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
Salt & pepper to taste
Boil large pot of salted water . When water is boiling, add green beans and boil 4 minutes. Immediately drain green beans in colander and run cold water over them to stop the cooking process.
