« Turkey & Cannelloni Bean Soup | Main | Debra's Autumn Harvest Soup »
December 26, 2005
Welcome to Session 4
The recent cold snap and then all this warm rain has brought challenges to the harvest but we still have a tasty assortment of seasonal produce for you. The turnips are very small, tender and sweet, nothing like the huge old turnips you see in the grocery store. These are delicious raw in salads or try them carmelized, a farm favorite! The greens are also tasty and nutritious, after freezing and thawing in all of this rain, they are not as hardy as in the spring. Use them right away. For many folks, it isn't New Years without collard greens. So we have included them this week along with a classic collard recipe, don't forget to enjoy the pot liquor with some crusty bread. Cold and wet weather like this practically begs for a hearty soup, try this one with our creamy cannellini beans. For the large shares, we have sweet dumpling squash, these round and compact squash are prized for baking or holding soups. Try baking them filled with some of your apples and spices, yum!

4 baby head lettuce, 1/4# braising mix, 1 bunch collard greens, 1 bunch baby turnips, 1 bunch carrots, 1 onion from Desert Valley Farm and 2 Fuji apples.
