Usually around this time I start posting a series of post entitled Summer Food. But, what is summer food? What makes a great summer food plate?

This is most certainly a post that is not catching anyone in surprise. This dish featured in the previous post as a companion to the awesome tenderloin.

Green beans, eggplant, okra, zucchini, etc. Although much better it was just a different vegetable in the sauce.
