As of the last time I posted, I had not yet used the chard we received in week 5’s CSA share. That night, Dave sautéed the chard as a side dish for our dinner.
In Week 6 we received:
Our farmer says: “This stuff is tasty and monstrously productive. I like to chop it up and sauté it with garlic and onions, then toss it with pasta, black pepper, some goat cheese and fresh basil. Yum.”
What we cooked:
Yellow squash, sautéed with the onions, and a tomato. Served in a wrap with shredded cheese.
Beet salad: Cook beets, unpeeled, in boiling water for 1 hour. Let cool, then peel and chop. Add 2 cloves of garlic, minced, 1 tbsp mayonnaise, and 1/4 tsp salt. So easy, and so yummy!
I used the lettuce in a salad, and funny story about the cucumbers – I thought they were zucchini. I even labeled them as zucchini to post on the blog! Dave pointed out that they were actually cucumbers, so I used them to make the same cucumber salad I posted about before.
In Week 7 we received:
plus more cucumbers, and more onions.
We used the zucchini once again for zucchini parmesan. I used the cucumbers in a quinoa salad:
Some of the onions were sautéed to go with our schwarma.
I used two carrots in a smoothie I made for Simon and myself. We have not yet used the rest of the carrots or the beans!
And now for a special announcement!
