Have not tried the purple peppers, but they appear to be just another color of green pepper. I'm intrigued by the pale yellow ones, which have a different shape. I think they might be blond Poblano peppers. They smell a little spicier than the green pepper family, but didn't taste all that different.
My trip on Saturday to the Richfield farmer's market netted me a couple of ears of corn (eaten) and a bunch of kale (made into chips). I was hoping for some new options, but it was pretty much the same thing I'd seen the last couple of weeks.
Oh, and today I sauteed the bunch of garlic scapes that I'd bought last week. Tasty, but I need to do a better job of trimming off they woody bits.
The purple cauliflower was absolutely gorgeous. We just steamed the one we had with tiny potatoes and ate it with cheese sauce. Sadly, it is not nearly so beautiful once it's cooked (especially if you smother it with a clashing colored sauce). We agreed that next week (if they still have it) I should get two: one to eat and one to look at.
Earlier in the day I made a veggie-crust pizza featuring one of the eggplants, some green onions, and one of the pale yellow peppers.
And that's it - I am now out of ideas. Green onions always get used, but eggplant takes more planning. Any suggestions?
When I was a child, one of my aunt's would make "special" sandwiches for kid's birthdays. They were just white bread with cream cheese filling but what made them special was she would use food colouring on the cream cheese so you could eat pink, green and blue cheese sandwiches.
Could something similar be used for your cheese sauce to create a sauce the didn't have a colour clash with the cauliflower?
