| mark bittman's tomato basil corn salad |
summer is almost gone.....usually i am packing for a two week vacation this time of year, but this year we went in july instead. being in new england in september is a great opportunity to take advantage of all that is ripe off the vine....tomatoes, corn....a fun time to try new recipes. mark bittman's what to eat right now column last week titled "shuck and awe" inspired me to do something different with my favorite vegetable....not that steaming and serving with butter and kosher salt isn't fantastic ...it totally is..but.... well why not combine it with other flavors? the tomato and basil salad with corn is a wonderful dish. i have made it twice in 7 days! beyond wonderful. this is a new favorite! for saturday late lunch i decided to try mark vetri's (september bon appetit) slow roasted glazed pork shoulder. it is definitely a weekend project because it requires some time...not so much work at all ....just time. (and surprisingly few ingredients..... this recipe is so delicious.....aromatic....so comforting! i can not think of enough adjectives....( and really i don't get italian from this flavor at all....just wonderfully subtle roasted pork and the cider vinegar glaze with brown sugar is the perfect note! prepared to be licking your sticky fingers! actually bailey had a rough day at home smelling the fantastic aroma of the pork roasting for 5 hours while we sat on the beach! go to the link for the salad...i steamed my corn first but mr. bittman went for raw....
