farm share, week 4

[magid]

• 4 pickling cukes
  
• 4 summer squash (I chose zucchini, one of them golden)
  
• a bunch of carrots (plus some extra)
  
• a Napa cabbage
  
• a bunch of little red onions with their scallions on
  
• two heads of lettuce (I chose red leaf)
  
• a bunch of lacinato kale
  
• a pound of garlic scapes (plus as much as I wanted extra, which was... a not inconsiderable quantity)
  
• 6 ounces of mixed interesting mushrooms

First thoughts: roasted summer squash; slaw of Napa + shredded carrot + sauteed bits of garlic scape + peanut dressing; pickled garlic scapes and carrots.

Update, a day later:

*The mushrooms were oyster, shiitake, and lion's mane, which was a first for me, and quite nice.

*Pickled: the vast majority of the scapes, much of the carrots, the onions, plus beets from previous distribution.

*Soup stock from the hard parts of scapes, pea pods, and some mushroom stems.

*The kale was sauteed with onion, some scallions, the mushrooms, fried tofu, and some egg.

*Partly-dressed slaw with the Napa, the rest of the carrots, the rest of the scallions, the rest of the kohlrabi from last week, lemon juice, and Everything But the Bagel seasoning (Trader Joe's). More sesame seeds, sesame oil, etc. possible for dressing.

*The summer squash was sauteed with onion, chickpeas, some tomato sauce, and mozzarella.

*Lettuce likely to be eaten with tuna-sweet corn salad w/pickles.

*Cucumber likely to be eaten with tomatoes and avocado.
