Belated CSA pictures
I'm a little late in posting pictures of this week's veggies but there's a pic under the cut below.
I managed to use everything we got last week, though it took me awhile to get around to making the Swiss Chard. I used this recipe http://www.recipezaar.com/223164 which was really tasty with goat cheese mixed in.
I discovered a few new uses for radishes since I'm not a fan of raw radishes. There was a recipe in my joy of cooking that was a radish and scallion saute (which conveniently used the scallions as well). That was pretty tasty, but the real winner was slicing them thin, spraying them lightly with olive oil and sprinkling a little salt and putting them on a cookie sheet under the broiler for 5 minutes or less, till they were softened and starting to turn golden. They tasted kinda like slices of potato with more flavor. I am excited that we got more radishes this week cause I'm definitely looking forward to trying that again.
I made a rhubarb fool with the rhubarb which was interesting, but I don't think rhubarb is one of my favorite dessert fruits. The asparagus and various lettuces were fantastic, and the mint was very happily used for mojitos.
Week of May 29th:
radishes, scallions, bok choy, long beans?, collard greens, strawberries, bib/butter lettuce, baby spinach, spring mix lettuce.
