CSA Boxes Week 4, Session Three
Happy Holidays from the staff at Willie Green's!
We have done our best to respond to your requests to include your holiday favorites in the boxes this week. Due to demand, we are offering the yams again with the caveat that they are NOT Washington grown. Please call us at (425) 485-4128 if you would like more red potatoes instead. In addition to yams, we received multiple requests for celeriac, Brussel Sprouts, parsnips and pears. Check out Susie's Special Sprouts, a Christmas tradition.
Parsnips are often honey roasted or mashed for the holidays, if you want to try something different, take a look at Savory Parsnip Saute. We finish the recipes for the week with Upside-down Pear Gingerbread.
We also have a new green for you this week. Claytonia. Claytonia is a winter lettuce that grows wild and is often known as Miners lettuce. Ours is cultivated and high in Vitamin C. The leaves are thicker than most lettuces and are almost succulent. They are best served with a mild dressing tath won't overpower it's delicate flavor.
