A lovely stillness has set in now that the festivities of Rosh Hashanah are behind us. I’m looking forward to a week of fresh, simple food — dishes that are light, easy to make, and take advantage of the bounty of incredible fall produce available at the market right now.

This is the time for late-summer tomatoes, glistening eggplants, brilliant bell peppers, late-summer squash…

Here are a few dishes to consider making this week, before all this vibrant local produce is just a beautiful memory.
