Summer CSA bounty
It is beginning to look a lot like summer with these CSA shares! The raspberries are looking great this week: plump, large, sweet and flavorful. We have been enjoying them fresh out of hand, in smoothies, ice creams and sorbets. Check out Double Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream for a rich and delicious treat. Or for something light and refreshing Raspberry Mint Sorbet.
Everybody gets some of those delicious, tender haricot vert this week. Yesterday, Jeff's mom made a simple pasta salad that was half gemelli pasta, half haricot vert tossed in a vinaigrette and topped with grated romano. It was so good that she had to make a second batch after the tasters were through to have enough for the picnic! We also pumped up an old classic potluck broccoli salad. We added crisp radishes for flavor, color and crunch. Our version is here.
Speaking of radishes, customers have told me that there are some great recipes for them in the current issue of Simple Living magazine. To take the enjoyment of radishes to an art form, visit Molly's blog on radishes as reward. Her photos and descriptions are amazing! Be sure to read the comments to get the full treatment. You will never think of radishes the same way again.
Small Share:
1/2# salad mix, 1 head lettuce, 1 bunch baby bok choy, 1 bn radishes, 1 head broccoli, 1/2 pt raspberries
Medium Share:
All of the above plus more salad mix, haricot vert, broccoli and raspberries. Plus 3/4lb baby spinach
Large Share:
Everything in a medium box plus more salad mix, spinach, haricot vert, broccoli and raspberries. Plus turnips and sugar snap peas.
Some days we need to harvest more than we can take to market. Somethings we are freezing like the raspberries but other things like the broccoli and sugar snaps need to be eaten or composted. We would much rather share the bounty with you. In the next couple of weeks you may find extra produce in your box. Please enjoy it yourselves, share it with friends and family or food bank it.
