Homemade Ketchup with Fresh Tomatoes

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Making homemade ketchup with fresh tomatoes is a great way to take advantage of a late-summer tomato crop. Typical commercial ketchup is high in sodium and has a surprising amount of sugar, but this flavorful homemade version has only about one-third of the sodium and just a hint of sweetness from maple syrup.

Basic Herb Pesto

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Use any herbs you have on hand (or surplus herbs growing in your garden) in this easy and flavorful pesto recipe. While pestos made from single herbs can be wonderful all on their own, it is also fun to play around with combinations of two or more. Some of our favorites are tarragon, chervil and parsley or mint and cilantro.

Quick Sriracha

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

You will be amazed at how easy it is to make your own Sriracha sauce with fresh chiles. Normally Sriracha is fermented, a process which takes days. Here, we've shortened that method but added molasses to get strong, bold flavor. If you have an abundance of chiles in your garden or see them at the farmers' market, this is a great way to take advantage of the bounty. Be sure to wear disposable food-handling gloves while handling the chiles!

Green Enchilada Sauce

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Roasting the tomatillos and chiles in this easy homemade enchilada sauce recipe adds a little time but brings out a deeper flavor that really elevates this sauce over store-bought versions. Plus, making homemade allows you to control the ingredients to make a delicious sauce that meets your dietary needs. Make a double batch so you'll always have some on hand.

Peanut & Fresh Mint Vinaigrette

Be sure to use unrefined peanut oil in this healthy salad dressing--it has a cleaner, smoother taste. Drizzle this vinaigrette on Vietnamese spring rolls or toss it with rice noodles, veggies and shrimp for a tasty noodle salad.

Grilled Corn & Carrot Giardiniera

In this spicy-sweet marinated vegetable recipe, harissa and jalapeño lend quite a bit of heat, so adjust to your taste. Serve the giardiniera with grilled chicken or steak, or on top of your favorite salad for a vinegary bite.

Cilantro Chutney (Kothmiri Chatni)

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Indian chutneys (or chatnis) are savory, vibrant and exploding with flavor, with a thin, saucy consistency. In this green chutney recipe, cilantro creates the basic sauce that serves as a condiment for many Indian snacks, street foods and sandwiches. The serrano chile gives it quite a blast of heat, so use less if you like a tamer sauce. Try this chutney in place of your favorite hot sauce.

Lovage Pesto

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Lovage tastes like cardamom and celery had a baby. If you can't find lovage, increase basil to 1 3/4 cups and add 1 1/2 cups celery leaves. Recipe by Chef/Farmer Stacey Givens of The Side Yard Farm & Kitchen, Portland, OR.
