Farm share week 18, and Boston Organics
Oct. 17th, 2007 05:43 pmPenultimate veggies...
Boston Organics, small box, one-third fruit.
A thought from the walk home: if I were a much more dedicated-to-presentation sort of cook, I could make two pureed root vegetable soups, one white (yellow onions, white potatoes, turnips, parsnips, celeriac), the other orange (red onions, carrots, sweet potatoes), then swirl them together, perhaps garnished with frizzled leeks and a garlic crouton or two.
- three-quarters of a pound of greens (mix'n'match spinach, mesclun, mizuna, tat soi, and arugula: I didn't get spinach or mizuna)
- two pounds of peppers (green, yellow, and two shapes of red; I got mostly the longer red kind, since they have fewer seeds (read: lighter))
- a big head of red cabbage
- a celeriac (another one of those alien vegetables, like kohlrabi; I wonder what happens when they have border disputes?)
- two pounds of carrots
- a pound and a half of parsnips (yay!)
- a pound and a half of Hakurei turnips (no greens)
- two pounds of sweet potatoes (I got long thin ones)
- a stalk of Brussels sprouts
- a baby eggplant (different colors; I got the regular sort)
- a bunch of dill (? says "spring" to me...)
