Summer Kitchen Garden


By A Natural Kitchen (Visit website)



This is our summer garden that we started in May. So far we have these growing: pole beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, strawberries, squash, peppers, cilantro, oregano, thyme, basil, chives, and green onion. When I say growing it doesn't mean all are thriving. A green thumb is not something I have. Maybe a yellow thumb and sometimes a brown thumb.


Pole beans, however, is one of the easiest to grow. Just plant and forget about it (I have sprinklers on a timer). In no time at all you will get big, luscious beans. It also satisfies my desire for instant gratification.


Little Bean and just-picked bean.



We used the beans to serve alongside mahi mahi for dinner.

Mahi Mahi with Red Peppers
4 mahi mahi fillets2 tsp. chile powder1 tsp. ground cumin1/4 tsp. chile powder1/2 tsp. garlic powder1/2 tsp. saltpepper1/2 T. olive oil1 c. red bell pepper, chopped5 grape tomatoes, chopped1/4 c. onion, chopped1 T. fresh cilantro, choppedjuice of half a lemonsalt to tasteolive oil, drizzle
Combine chile powder, cumin, chile powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Coat the mahi with the dry seasoning mix. Oil a large pan. Cook fillets over med-high heat, about 4 minutes on each side. Place cooked fish on a platter. In a bowl, combine bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, lemon juice, salt, and olive oil. Spoon mixture over fish.

For the green beans, steam it for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, slice up 1/2 of an onion and saute it in a large pan in oil. Add the steamed green beans with about 1 tsp. sesame oil and 1 T. soy sauce. Add salt and pepper to your desired taste.
