Farm share, week 5
Jul. 9th, 2025 06:13 pm- 2 pounds of beets (I chose all red ones, no Chioggia)
- 4 bunches of scallions
- 12 pickling cucumber (I chose small ones)
- 8 zucchini/summer squash (I chose large-ish ones, and all zucchini, some green and some gold)
- 2 heads of green cabbage
- 2 large bunches of Bright Lights Swiss chard
- 2 enormous heads of frilly red-leaf lettuce
- 1 pound frisée
- 2 bunches of cilantro (swapped for another cabbage and another bunch of chard, given the options in the swap box)
- 8 heads of new garlic
First thoughts: I have no idea what to do with the frisée: I know it’s bitter, enough that I don’t know that I’d like it in salad, and braising can work for heads, but this is loose, so any favorite uses would be welcome. Cabbage slaw with scallions. Cucumber salad (get avocado?). Green salad with cucumbers and scallions, maybe roasted beets, possibly tuna. Start a batch of torshi seer (Persian 7-year garlic pickles). Roasted zucchini.
