Hello There! I am really looking forward to this week's CSA box. I know that not everyone on this forum subscribes to a box, some of you might live far away or some of you might grow your own veggies. I live locally so I am lucky to have a weekly CSA delivery but even as excited as I am every Thursday to open up my box, I don't always use all my produce. I have really great intentions of using all my veggies and making some awesome, gourmet dishes, but that is not always the case. Sometimes it is simply because I lack the imagination to make something different. Here's where y'all come in. Will you post your favorite recipe using seasonal veggies? I would love to get a thread going where we can exchange recipes and broaden my kitchen skills and maybe yours will be broadened as well. Thanks, I look forward to seeing what we get. Below is last weekend's Local Mushroom, Zucchini, Chicken, Bacon Flatbread with roasted garlic white sauce.
Sauce
Roast a head of garlic in the oven. Add diced red onions to a pan with olive oil and saute. Add 1/4 flour and 1 cup of heavy cream. Add salt, pepper, chili flakes. Let, er for 5 min. If it gets too thick, add more cream.
Crust
I used a Trader Joe's ready-made crust but you can find a recipe online pretty easy.
Topping
Dice mushrooms, I used Shiitake from Wolfe Family Farms. Dice zucchini, I used organic from Blosser Urban Gardens (BUG) in Santa Maria. Carmelize onions, I used organic onions from BUG. I cooked nitrate-free bacon in the morning for breakfast and had leftovers so I chopped up some for the toppings. Saute, until soft, the mushrooms and zucchini. Chop up the chicken.
Pizza
Roll out the dough adding some cornmeal to the counter or wherever you are rolling the dough out. Spread the sauce on the dough, leaving about an inch all around the edge. Add all the toppings in this order, caramelized onions, mushroom zucchini mixture, bacon, chicken, top with parmesan cheese.
Cook on a stone or in a pizza oven until the edges are browned.
Wow - that looks awesome! Did you use your own pizza oven? We love having pizza night here on the farm. A crew of us built a pizza oven from scratch, and we have big pizza parties. All our WWOOFers harvest fresh toppings from the garden they'd like to try out, and then everyone makes a personal-sized pizza to share.
We were given a recipe from our dear friends who run a pizza place in Portugal. It's a large batch recipe, but perfect for parties or you could divide it to make smaller portions. We make the balls in advance, let them rise, and then freeze them.
Dough recipe for 55 pizzas: 250 gr per pizza
8 kilos of flour 00, 5-liter water, 10 gr yeast, 225 gr salt, 125 ml olive oil, 20 gr sugar. Mix flour yeast sugar altogether and mix for 1 minute, then all the water (it should be cold water) and mix for 3 minutes, put the salt and mix 1 minute and add the oil and mix 1 minute.
Yes we have a pizza oven in our backyard. My husband and sons built it. I’m going to try that recipe. We were just talking about making a bunch and freezing them.
Here is the recipe for my favorite pizza with mushrooms and white sauce. Cooking yeast dough. We mix warm water with sugar. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, salt and yeast. Connect in a ball. Add the rast. butter and knead another 10 minutes.
Cover the dough with a film and set in a warm place to approach.
Chop onion, mushrooms and three cheese. We cut it as you like, because then we will punch with a blender. We cut part of the mushrooms for decoration with plates.
We heat the butter in a pan and fry the onion until golden brown. Add mushrooms and wait until they are browned.
Pour the cream. Salt, pepper. Stew for 15-20 minutes. Add cheese at the end.
We break through the blender
Collecting pizza. We divide the dough into two parts and roll it out with a thickness of 2 mm. Smear with sauce on top, sprinkle with spices, spread cheese and mushroom slices
Bake on parchment. You can sprinkle with semolina to make pizza easier to depart. 250 degrees, about 5-7 minutes

That sounds amazing! I love a white sauce pizza! Keep these recipes coming. I have a feeling you have a plethora of great food to share.
That's great! I tried it some time ago and it was amazing.
Hi! I'm from Tolmezzo, I will share my mum's favorite recipe here, which she makes on every Halloween, she usually grows veggies at home but for Halloween she buy everything from stores and she start preparing before one week of Halloween, because my dad works in CouponCodify and brings every time hundreds of coupons for her, and she never like to miss to use them.
Here is recipe, I hope you all will like that.
One-pan vegetable lasagna
2 tbsp olive oil
2 small onions, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 courgettes, chopped
250g button mushrooms, sliced
400g tin chopped tomatoes
200g baby leaf spinach
400g fresh lasagna sheets, sliced into strips
Handful fresh basil leaves, torn
80g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated
2 x 125g mozzarella balls, sliced
You need oven proof pan
Method
First heat oil in pan, then add onion and fry them at medium heat for five to ten minutes after this add garlic and gain cook them for one minute.
Now add the courgettis and mushrooms, increase the heat and fry them for five minutes until they turn lightly browned, now add tomatoes and 200ml boiling water and then cook for more 10 minutes, try to keep heat medium.
Now heat the grill to high. Stir the spinach and pasta into the pan in batches. Once the spinach has wilted, stir in the basil, most of the parmesan and half the mozzarella. Scatter over the rest of the cheese, then again grill for 3-5 minutes until bubbling, now your dish is ready and leave for a few minutes before serving.
Please share your reviews here if you will try this.

this sounds so good!! I would sub noodles for zucchini to make it gluten free but It sounds so good!! Thanks for the suggestion
Oh, Yum! Straight from Italy! I'm certainly going to try this. I love one pan recipes I can use to feed the farm family!
I love to cook different types of simple stuff with my daughter. Especially when such a thing as Halloween is coming. We like pies, waffles or donuts. I usually do all the stuff that involves knives, and let my little girl manage my actions. Recently we cooked Curd donuts. Wanna share the recipe because it is pretty good.
Ingredients:
200 gr of curd
1 egg
70 g rice + whole grain flour
20 g raisins
20 g coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
poppy seeds, sesame seeds for sprinkling
How to:
First mix together the curd, egg, flours, raisins, sugar and baking powder. Then shape into donuts (we used colorful pans that my girl really likes), sprinkle with sesame seeds and poppy seeds. Bake in 180 degrees in Celsius 25-30 min.
