How do you name a new dish?

Hi all!  So, I survived two local fairs and I even managed to make some visits to a couple of area farmers’ markets.  My wonderful husband, Bashir, was kind enough to provide all the cooking during this crazy fair season and this is one of his favorite creations.  We are struggling to find a name for it.  After you read this post, let me know what your ideas might be for this wonderful and easy dish!

Local farm fresh ingrediants are a great start!

Since my husband is from Afghanistan, most of the foods he cooks is what he grew up with.  During the week of the Stoughton Fair, Stoughton, Wis, I managed a visit to their farmers’ market which is held on Fridays.  There I picked up some wonderfully flavorful tomatoes and honey candies.  As you can guess, the honey candies are not part of the dish but as a treat for hard working kids.

Upon bringing home these big, luscious beefsteak tomatoes, my husband dug up some potatoes from the garden, grabbed a few onions too and had me find some fresh mint.  I had already purchased some local yogurt and garlic so I started on the sauce that accompanies most of our hot meals.  Bashir set to work chopping and slicing while we sent the kids out to the chicken coop to collect some fresh brown eggs.

YUM!  Bashir first lightly fried up the onions, garlic and potatoes in olive oil and once they were softened, added the tomatoes.  He then added in about 10 large, brown eggs, one of which was a double-yolker!  This was covered and let sit for about 7-10 minutes on a medium heat until it looked like all the eggs were cooked. 

Voila!  Dinner was served!  It was delicious and with it being the peak of growing season here in Wisconsin, the local farmers’ markets are overflowing with wonderful fresh produce. 

Bashir's delicious dinner!
