Indian Curried Green Tomatoes Bhaaji

This is it. This is the one, the only, the whole and sole green tomato recipe you need. Throw away all those fried green tomato recipes. Only ever curry green tomatoes from now on!

KIDDING totally kidding - fried green tomatoes are amazing and if one has 2 green tomatoes one must always fry at least one of them. I'm just saying, curry the other, and you will make yourself doubly happy and you'll get flavors that you would never have thought of with regular ol' frying. In fact, I fried some up too, and I'm going to post that recipe next week!

But no, seriously, don't go frying up all your green tomatoes. If you're looking for a perfect sweet and tart and savory and succulent vegetarian dish, this, friends, is it.

Heirloom Tomato Fennel Salad with Fennel Tahini Dressing

Usually when salads get dressed at casa M in the World, they're dressed in vinaigrettes, light and airy, sometimes spicy, sometimes honeyed. But here we are at the very tail end of summer, and although some delicious heirloom tomatoes are still peeking out of the corner of stalls at local farmer's markets, the air is crisp, the wind has a bite to it, and it just seems like everything, including salads, needs to be a little sturdier, a little more substantial.

Pesto Pizza!

Y'know those days when you're craving something crunchy yet gooey, cheesy yet healthy, filling yet light? Well, for those contradiction filled evenings, here's a yummy summery pesto pizza for you.

Pesto Pizza

1 ball frozen pizza dough (some day I'll get more comfortable working with dough and make my own, but for now frozen works just perfectly)
1 cup summer pesto (see, leaving out the parmesan in the pesto makes you feel a lot better about adding some cheese in here)
1 cup grape tomatoes
1 cup dried porcini mushrooms
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
Salt and pepper to taste
