Use meyer lemons in this recipe if you can!

Common Ground will have Meyer lemons all winter long, so try using these special lemons. Not only are they more aromatic, but they are also juicier and have a different/less acidic flavor than typical lemons. Once you try these, they'll become your go-to lemons. 

 

Substitute any veggies for what's in season.This recipe will work for whatever vegetables you have in the fridge. Use what's in season like potatoes, cauliflower, turnips, kohlrabi, tomatoes, or summer squash! It will be so tasty no matter what you use.
