Peak of Summer: Enjoying Seasonal Produce
Aaron Barnes, Corporate Chef
August is the time of year to enjoy the wonderful colors,
textures and flavors of seasonal produce. Tomatoes are
at the peak of ripeness while melons are soaking in the
sun. Zucchini and summer squash just appear overnight
along with the beautiful deep purple eggplant. To
complement all of these wonderful summer gifts are
herbs. Herbs lend so much to a plate and are pleasant
to smell and eat. They add color, flavor, texture and are a
wonderful edible garnish.
Maplevale Farms has a great fresh produce program,
assuring freshness and quality as we take pride in
handling our produce. Upon arrival in our HACCP
controlled loading docks after being received they are
held in temperature controlled produce coolers. We
have four different coolers for proper storage so the
produce will be held at the right temperature and will
have a longer shelf life once received by our customers.
As you receive fresh produce, please treat it like a fragile
egg, do not drop the cases, kick or leave out in your
kitchen for long periods of time. This will deteriorate
the quality and cut the shelf life in half.
When using fresh herbs you need to keep in mind the
endless uses for them. You can use them for a garnish
on plates, displays, soups and salads. They lend a great
deal of flavor to food and will also bring out flavor that
you may not have tasted before. Basil, mint, tarragon,
cilantro, oregano and parsley are leafy herbs and
are more delicate than others. Store them in loosely
wrapped paper towels in boxes or storage containers,
this will assure air circulation and keep them from
getting crushed or bruised. When cutting leafy herbs, be
careful not to pinch them too hard and use the sharpest
knife you have. If you use a dull knife they will bruise
and oxidize causing them to turn black. Another proper
method is gently tearing them along the natural seems.
Use herbs promptly so they do not become discolored.
Rosemary, lavender and thyme are wonderful herbs to
use fresh or to dry. They pair well with most foods and
are wonderful in soups, salads and as a garnish.
Tomatoes are at their peak in color, flavor and aroma this
time of year. There are many different types of tomatoes
out there that range in color, size and flavor. Choose
the one for you and your cooking style. When they are
seasonal and readily available I like to use them across
my menu in salsa, hot or cold soups, salads, entrees and
desserts. Let’s start from the beginning, Herb Cream
Cheese Stuffed Roma Tomatoes, Basil Tuna Salad
Stuffed Tomato or a nice chilled Gazpacho served with
blackened shrimp. Matching up a fresh sliced tomato,
mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic reduction served
with a garlic grilled toast is out of this world. As far
as the dessert, deep fried green tomatoes tossed with
cinnamon and sugar to garnish vanilla ice cream is
good. Another one I have served is an apple and green
tomato cobbler served with ice cream. Both unique but
full of flavor and a way to use unripe tomatoes.
Zucchini & summer squash are very plentiful and taste
so good this time of year. grilling, roasting, sauteing,
baking and marinating are among some of my favorite
ways to cook them. Stuffed zucchini is a great way to
create a meal all in one. It is very simple to make, just cut
length wise, hollow out the seeds and use your favorite
stuffing ingredients; crab, sausage, rice, orzo or buffalo
chicken stuffing are just a few options. Once stuffed add
a little water to bottom of pan and bake until tender. A
trick to this is to use a cooked stuffing, have the sausage,
chicken, crab already cooked. Also the sauce used to top
the baked zucchini can be Alfredo, marinara or any of
your favorite sauces. Another summer time favorite is
to marinate zucchini and summer squash with garlic,
herbs, lemon and olive oil. After marinating for an
hour remove from marinade and place on char grill.
Be careful for the oil not to flame up, this will give you
an unwanted flavor and ugly smoke mark instead of
beautiful grill marks. After grilling you can serve hot
or chill down and use for a chilled pasta salad or on a
vegetable tray with dip.
Eggplant is another one of those vegetables that you
can utilize all over the menu. You can peel them and
make into lasagna, slice and bread to create egg plant
fries, or slice thin and use as eggplant roll-ups. I love
to slice them, bread and fry until golden brown, serve
with sauce as parmesan over pasta or as a sandwich.
Another wonderful dish is to peel and dice, saute with
garlic, tomatoes, peppers and onions tossed with white
balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This can be served as a
hot side dish or chill and serve as a salad. Top with your
favorite crumbled cheese on a bed of lettuce. I have
mentioned peel the eggplant a few times now, this is a
personal preference. I personally don’t like to chew on
the peel, some people do, so this is up to you and your
customers.
Melons are in a category of fruit that umbrella a large
number of different varieties with a wide range of
shapes, sizes and flavors. Watermelon, cantaloupe and
honeydew are the most common. Simply eat them as
is or create fruit kabobs for a fun way to eat them. You
can create many different dishes out of melons such as
soup, salads, salsa and frozen desserts. You can peel the
fruit, place in a food processor and pulse until you reach
the desired consistency you want. I like to add yogurt
to mine to create a smooth texture with better body.
Adding honey will also add to the sweetness and body.
You can highlight the fruit with spices or herbs. Fresh
mint makes a great garnish.
Enjoy the Summertime Harvest while it is in season!

Peak of Summer: Enjoying Seasonal Produce
Aaron Barnes, Corporate Chef
August is the time of year to enjoy the wonderful colors,
textures and flavors of seasonal produce. Tomatoes are
at the peak of ripeness while melons are soaking in the
sun. Zucchini and summer squash just appear overnight
along with the beautiful deep purple eggplant. To
complement all of these wonderful summer gifts are
herbs. Herbs lend so much to a plate and are pleasant
to smell and eat. They add color, flavor, texture and are a
wonderful edible garnish.
Maplevale Farms has a great fresh produce program,
assuring freshness and quality as we take pride in
handling our produce. Upon arrival in our HACCP
controlled loading docks after being received they are
held in temperature controlled produce coolers. We
have four different coolers for proper storage so the
produce will be held at the right temperature and will
have a longer shelf life once received by our customers.
As you receive fresh produce, please treat it like a fragile
egg, do not drop the cases, kick or leave out in your
kitchen for long periods of time. This will deteriorate
the quality and cut the shelf life in half.
When using fresh herbs you need to keep in mind the
endless uses for them. You can use them for a garnish
on plates, displays, soups and salads. They lend a great
deal of flavor to food and will also bring out flavor that
you may not have tasted before. Basil, mint, tarragon,
cilantro, oregano and parsley are leafy herbs and
are more delicate than others. Store them in loosely
wrapped paper towels in boxes or storage containers,
this will assure air circulation and keep them from
getting crushed or bruised. When cutting leafy herbs, be
careful not to pinch them too hard and use the sharpest
knife you have. If you use a dull knife they will bruise
and oxidize causing them to turn black. Another proper
method is gently tearing them along the natural seems.
Use herbs promptly so they do not become discolored.
Rosemary, lavender and thyme are wonderful herbs to
use fresh or to dry. They pair well with most foods and
are wonderful in soups, salads and as a garnish.
Tomatoes are at their peak in color, flavor and aroma this
time of year. There are many different types of tomatoes
out there that range in color, size and flavor. Choose
the one for you and your cooking style. When they are
seasonal and readily available I like to use them across
my menu in salsa, hot or cold soups, salads, entrees and
desserts. Let’s start from the beginning, Herb Cream
Cheese Stuffed Roma Tomatoes, Basil Tuna Salad
Stuffed Tomato or a nice chilled Gazpacho served with
blackened shrimp. Matching up a fresh sliced tomato,
mozzarella, basil, olive oil, balsamic reduction served
with a garlic grilled toast is out of this world. As far
as the dessert, deep fried green tomatoes tossed with
cinnamon and sugar to garnish vanilla ice cream is
good. Another one I have served is an apple and green
tomato cobbler served with ice cream. Both unique but
full of flavor and a way to use unripe tomatoes.
Zucchini & summer squash are very plentiful and taste
so good this time of year. grilling, roasting, sauteing,
baking and marinating are among some of my favorite
ways to cook them. Stuffed zucchini is a great way to
create a meal all in one. It is very simple to make, just cut
length wise, hollow out the seeds and use your favorite
stuffing ingredients; crab, sausage, rice, orzo or buffalo
chicken stuffing are just a few options. Once stuffed add
a little water to bottom of pan and bake until tender. A
trick to this is to use a cooked stuffing, have the sausage,
chicken, crab already cooked. Also the sauce used to top
the baked zucchini can be Alfredo, marinara or any of
your favorite sauces. Another summer time favorite is
to marinate zucchini and summer squash with garlic,
herbs, lemon and olive oil. After marinating for an
hour remove from marinade and place on char grill.
Be careful for the oil not to flame up, this will give you
an unwanted flavor and ugly smoke mark instead of
beautiful grill marks. After grilling you can serve hot
or chill down and use for a chilled pasta salad or on a
vegetable tray with dip.
Eggplant is another one of those vegetables that you
can utilize all over the menu. You can peel them and
make into lasagna, slice and bread to create egg plant
fries, or slice thin and use as eggplant roll-ups. I love
to slice them, bread and fry until golden brown, serve
with sauce as parmesan over pasta or as a sandwich.
Another wonderful dish is to peel and dice, saute with
garlic, tomatoes, peppers and onions tossed with white
balsamic vinegar and olive oil. This can be served as a
hot side dish or chill and serve as a salad. Top with your
favorite crumbled cheese on a bed of lettuce. I have
mentioned peel the eggplant a few times now, this is a
personal preference. I personally don’t like to chew on
the peel, some people do, so this is up to you and your
customers.
Melons are in a category of fruit that umbrella a large
number of different varieties with a wide range of
shapes, sizes and flavors. Watermelon, cantaloupe and
honeydew are the most common. Simply eat them as
is or create fruit kabobs for a fun way to eat them. You
can create many different dishes out of melons such as
soup, salads, salsa and frozen desserts. You can peel the
fruit, place in a food processor and pulse until you reach
the desired consistency you want. I like to add yogurt
to mine to create a smooth texture with better body.
Adding honey will also add to the sweetness and body.
You can highlight the fruit with spices or herbs. Fresh
mint makes a great garnish.
Enjoy the Summertime Harvest while it is in season!
