Farm share, week 4
Jun. 29th, 2011 07:35 pm- two heads of lettuce (I chose red leaf and a red butter-style head)
- a small head of green cabbage
- a pound of summer squash (I chose a variety of the regular yellow, zucchini, and cousa squashes, little ones)
- a bunch of herbs (a choice of cilantro, basil, or dill; since the basil was gone, I got a monster bunch of dill)
- a head of curly endive or escarole (I chose escarole since I'm not fond of curly endive)
- a bunch of baby red onions with their greens
- a bunch of chioggia beets with greens
- one head of new garlic, with its stalk
- a bunch of kale or collards (I chose collards over curly green kale)
- eight garlic scapes
There were also supposed to be two pounds of cucumbers, but apparently there was a mix-up at the farm, and they'd run out fairly early. I asked about it (seeing a gap on the white board), and got the go ahead to get some extra garlic scapes. I've also emailed the farm about it.
First thoughts: pickle the scapes with the dill; sautee the escarole with the beet greens, onions, garlic, preserved lemon, black pepper, and ground turkey; if there's more escarole, possibly add sauteed escarole to wheat berries with grape tomatoes and some cheese; roasted beets; possibly experiment with collard chips instead of kale; lots of green salad (of course).
Anyone have thoughts about whether I can add more cabbage to a batch already started? I might add the cabbage to my current batch if I sautee some with (vegan) sausages (ie making room in the jar).
