I recently got back from a weekend out of town and raced to get everything packed this week. I am going to take a quick break before posting an update on our “farm life”. I wanted to make sure you all got a list of what was included this week though….
Broccoli- We’ve been really surprised how many side shoots these are putting out! With the warmer weather these would be perfect for dipping. Use a recipe you know or try this one.
Snap Peas- Try these is a recipe using mint. These are winding down and this might be the last week so enjoy!
Cilantro
Scallions- This is the first batch of onions harvested. They are super sweet and would be delicious raw on salads.
Romaine Hearts-The hearts of a new favorite “Crisp Romaine”. These are great fresh but would also be a great candidate for Grilled Romaine . We tried this at A Cena and were amazed at how great it was.
Baby Beets- We are really hoping this guys will size up with this warmer weather and more shoulder room. These are excellent cut in half and roasted or pickled over a salad.
Turnips- We’d just slice these thin and thrown them in a stir fry. They can also be steamed and added to mashed potatoes. The greens loose their prickliness when cooked and are great sauted. They are also VERY good for you. These are also the last turnips for a good long while…..I know some of you are probably pleased ; )
Red Russian Kale
Mint- We had to add this because it peas and mint are a fantastic spring pair. Try one of these recipes.
