Today’s blog post comes from Parla Food’s obligatory biggest fan, Mamma Parla. She is an incredible cook, with tons of restaurant and catering experience behind her. Now she cooks mostly for friends and family–and does cooking demonstrations for the Slow Food Central NJ farmers’ market. Here is one of her simple, healthy summer recipes…and perfect Labor Day BBQ side dish.
