First of the Season

Big Guy got his wish! Our tomatoes started to come in along with our onions and garlic. Add in the basil and we were able to make a small batch of marinara solely from our garden.

We were both hoping we could hold out a little longer on the tomatoes to make a big batch, but it will come soon. It was just fun to get into it again on a smaller scale.

We decided to make a short rib ragu out of the sauce since we had the perfect amount to make this initial batch extra special. I roasted the onion and garlic, while the Big Guy pulled out the grill to tackle the tomatoes and short ribs. The sauce has taken on a smoky flavor from the tomatoes and short ribs. Life is good!
