Recipes for fresh veggies?

We have on hand:

One box of green tomatoes (maybe 5 or 6 pounds?)
One HUGE head of fresh farmer's market broccoli
~Two pounds of red potatoes
~Two pounds of farmer's market red and green bell peppers
~One pound of farmer's market large hot peppers (currently in the process of roasting & freezing some of them)
~ 1 pound of small white onions
One bunch of scallions
One medium-sized zucchini

Some sour cream, lots of eggs, some milk, kielbasa, chicken garlic sausage, and plenty of frozen cubed and shredded zucchini.

What the hell should I cook?! Preferably something that uses up LOTS of the broccoli, peppers and/or green tomatoes.

Also, if you have suggestions of recipe websites, I'm all ears! I can't seem to find one that's diverse enough to satisfy my recipe needs in one go.

Cross-post this bad boy to [livejournal.com profile] food_porn and see what they give you. Those folks are MASTERS.

Also, I'll send [livejournal.com profile] matrushkaka your way. That chick is such an amazing cook-- she could make a chicken bouillabaisse with a jaunty faux rouille out of some pocket lint and driveway gravel.

LOL!! You make me sound like the MacGyver of food.

Let's see ... green tomatoes? Fried green tomatoes, of course. (Damn, that's a lot of tomatoes.) You could pickle a few.

Broccoli - chop up, blanch, toss with a mix of fresh chopped garlic, salt, & olive oil. Simple tasty broccoli salad - served in Italy.

Stir fry veggies.

Potato salad, mashed potatoes, potato soup, hash browns with kielbasa ...

Stuffed peppers. Roasted bell peppers - roast 'em, puree them, and make pepper pesto for pasta. It would freeze well.

Onions last a while in the veggie drawer so use them as needed.

Scallions - grill 'em with a brush of oil, a sprinkle of S&P, and a squeeze of lime.

Zucchini - grill. Or make a frittata. Or zucchini bread. (Good way to use the eggs.)

Freeze the meats.
