What's in the box?
This week's boxes should be colorful and flavorful. The strawberries are finally coming into their own with a heady fragrance and a delicious flavor. We will have a brief lapse in the carrots but hope to have some more soon. We have two greens with distinctive flavors. Arugula has a peppery taste that adds a bit of a bite to salads or is wonderful in sandwiches. It is wonderful balanced with a creamy goat cheese. Try it on toasted baguettes with radishes, tomatoes or carmelized onions. We have several nice arugula recipes here.Rapini is another distinctive green that is very popular in Italian and Asian cooking. It is probably one of the most popular vegetables in Hong Kong, but it can be an acquired taste for Americans. It does well in sweeter dishes with a teriyaki sauce or with some heat to the seasonings. Tonight, I am serving one of my favorites Rapini Pizza at our market staff meeting. We are gathering tonight to taste and trade recipes. Look to see some of them in the near future. I have enabled comments on the blog so you are welcome to share some of your own favorite recipes with your fellow CSA memebers. We love to hear how you are using our produce!
