The end of summer produce

It has now turned cold here in Los Angeles and winter (ugh) is finally upon us.  Heirloom tomatoes had a late start this season and have lasted until a few weeks ago.....

So good on their own, all you need is a bit of salt pepper and olive oil.  If you're "off the cheese" (crazy people do do this , I've been told although I never could) pair with some grilled eggplant for a healthy meal or appetizer.  Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar.
 Another vegetable I'm going to miss for the winter is corn.  On the cob, off the cob, in salads, creamy, in soups....so many options.  For this side dish, I took it off the cob and cooked in chicken stock.  Added chorizo  for a kick and leeks that had been sauteed. Add yogurt as an alternative to sour cream and top with green onions.
