Confession: I have a small zucchini

See?


Actually, it was two small zucchini, neither as big as my index finger, plus one small yellow squash - the same size:


I couldn't resist! I know they'd turn into nice big veggies, but I was working from home today, planned to grill up some salmon for lunch, and wanted something different... So I grabbed some herbs, an onion, and yes, some more chard...


And followed a recipe (scaled down for one) from the new Serving Up The Harvest book, basically blanching chard, then sauteeing it with onion and garlic while boiling tortellini (the recipe called for shallots and ravioli, oh well), and then combining those. Over that I put a small piece of grilled salmon, along with those poor little summer squash that gave up their lives so I could have a tasty lunch.


All that with a drizzle of lemon juice and shaving of parm. Mmmmm!

Wait. What did you think I meant when I said I had a small zucchini!?

Jeph, that looks tasty, and I'm fantasizing about something like that with pasta now. Or pizza...
