I’m still loving asparagus and I find that people pretty much have their favorite ways of using this fresh spring veggie. Our preference here is grilled or sauteed with garlic and butter. But I also add it to stir-fry and spaghetti sauce as well. I hope you are enjoying these morsels before the summer heat passes us onto other delights.
For those who love radishes, they are simple to add to a salad or sliced and eaten crisp on a sandwich. However, the heat of a radish is one I’m not personally fond of which in turn causes me to find all kinds of ways to use them cooked. I love them cooked! It tames down the heat, but you still enjoy their flavor. I stir-fried a bunch of veggies such as taters, onions, celery, carrots, radishes, spinach, garlic (whatever needed to be used up!) and then added a basic coconut curry sauce to it with some cubed up chicken. There’s a recipe above to guide you if needed, but let it be inspiration for what you end up with.
The spinach is a variety called Olympia and it lives up to its name by having Olympic sized leaves! I have planted this variety before but do not remember the leaves ever getting this big. We have to pick it with kid gloves and wash and bag it gently as the leaves can crack if handled roughly. However, I think they make great leaves for rolling up tuna salad in or as a bread replacement. Either enjoy there ginormous size or rip them up into smaller salad bites.
SUMMER CSA: I will send the every other week members an email notifying them of their placement as either even or odd for the summer pick-up schedule. The summer schedule for every other week even/odd folks is posted on our CSA Pick-Up Site Page. For those that get a box every week, all you need to remember is that Wed is a pick-up day. Summer CSA begins next Wednesday, June 6th.
VOTE: I need to get a vote from the membership on what they prefer for the week of July 4th (wed). Do you want to skip this week and add on another week at the end of the season, or should we deliver as always? Email Heather your preference ASAP.
Wood-Fired Pizza : This Friday night, we have live music on the farm by Jeff White, 6-9pm. We’re only open Friday evening this week, and will start being open both Thursday and Fridays next week, June 7th & 8th.
Eat Well. Smile Often.
