As the summer heat transitions into an autumn breeze, and the leaves begin to turn shades of red, orange, and yellow, the fruits and vegetables growing in our gardens go through some changes as well. Fall brings the largest and most bountiful harvest of the year, with many cultures and religions celebrating holidays and festivals where food is the main attraction. Some of the most essential fruits and vegetables are harvested in the fall, including apples, pumpkins, zucchini, beets, eggplant, beans, potatoes, and squash.
With so many delicious crops being harvested in the Fall, right now is the best time to get a taste while they are in season. Eggplant and zucchini, two main staples of any Italian kitchen, are in season in the late summer and early Fall in most climates, and at La Bottega of Farmingdale, are a main ingredient in many of our delicious vegetarian paninis. The Foggia, Sicilia, and Potenza all use eggplant and is an excellent choice for both plant and meat lovers alike.
Zucchini is another great tasting and incredibly healthy vegetable packed with nutrients, containing a low calorie count and no saturated fats or cholesterol. La Bottega of Farmingdale uses zucchini in two of our legendary vegetarian dishes, the Terra and the Quattro Formaggi. For all the chicken lovers out there, the Trieste combines grilled chicken with zucchini, mozzarella, and black-olive paste on ciabatta bread, and the Cuneo subs out the black-olive paste for roasted peppers, another staple of the fall harvest.
La Bottega of Farmingdale also offers a wide variety of chicken, steak, turkey, and seafood salads with delicious autumn vegetables. Our salads contain a wide range of fall fruits and vegetables, from beets, artichokes, and peppers to squash, carrots, and chicories. Come down to La Bottega of Farmingdale and try out everything the autumn harvest has to offer.
