Summertime's vibrant vegetables take center stage in this Mediterranean journey led by Camila! She's chosen 3 recipes close to her heart, hoping to share some of the dishes she'll be creating at home to embrace the fleeting stars of summer: eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes. From Sifnos, the Greek island she spent her summer vacation in 2019, Camila will show you how to make eggplant rolls. The peppery dip muhammara is a recipe taught to Camila by a Lebanese friend; she fondly recalls working for him at a cafe on Pier 39 in San Francisco many summers ago. Today, she makes his muhammara nonstop when peppers are at their peak. Pisto manchego has roots in La Mancha (region of central Spain), so though it might look like it has cheese in it, it doesn't (manchego = from La Mancha). This stew is similar to ratatouille, with plenty of peppers, eggplant, zucchini, and tomatoes.
