Eat Your CSA – Week Six

May 24, 2017 By Kristina McLean

This week, our boxes include:

  • sugar snap peas
  • carrots
  • napa cabbage
  • cabbage
  • kale
  • chard
  • salad turnips with greens
  • baby beets with greens
  • arugula/salad mix
  • radishes
  • fennel
  • broccoli
  • lettuce
  • garlic scapes
  • scallions

Ideas for Food Prep:

  • As I say every week, you might think about braising some or all of your greens (kale, chard, turnip greens, beet greens). I always combine beet greens with chard because they’re so similar.
  • Wash the lettuce you want to use for salads, so it’s ready to go.
  • Cut up carrots, broccoli, turnips, and radishes to use for snacks
  • Roast the beets to have on hand
  • Have salad dressings (homemade or bought) on hand
  • Go ahead and prep the fennel. Cut up the bulb, use the stalks in soup, chop of the fronds for salads or garnishes

veg: vegetarian
v: vegan
gf: gluten free

If a recipe can very easily be made vegetarian, vegan or gluten free using simple substitutes like non-dairy spread, vegetable stock, gluten free pasta, gluten free soy sauce or a small amount of gluten free flour, or by leaving out an ingredient, I’ve coded them with that in mind. If they include things like mayonnaise, eggs, milk,honey or large quantities of flour, I haven’t coded them as such. I don’t have experience using things like egg substitute, non-dairy cheese or subbing in gluten free flours. Please double check the ingredients for your own safety!

“The care of the Earth is our most ancient and most worthy, and after all most pleasing responsibility. To cherish what remains of it and to foster its renewal is
our only hope.”
