CSA Boxes Week 2, Session Three
This dry heat is great for the tomatoes. Look for some nice juicy beefsteak tomatoes in your boxes this week. Unfortunately, that is the only fruit for this week's boxes. We have been working up to the last minute to try to get peaches or melons into your boxes but we have been told the peaches are "sticking to the trees" and the melons weren't quite ready to make the trucks in time. They are getting ready to harvest them and they have assured me that we will have melons in the next box.
So on to more goodies in this weeks box. Italian parsley is so much more than a garnish. A couple of years ago, Chef Naomi Kacughi was making tempura at the West Seattle Farmers Market. Jeff hustled over with some of the parsley. It ended up being one of the crowd favorites. My personal favorite use of parsley is Tabouleh Salad. Try out Ed Amato's version. Parsley is great in a variety of salads, I love it in one of my favorite summer salads, Spicy Corn Barley. This corn is so sweet that you can catch Brett eating it raw in the walk-in as his snack!
Willie's Wallas are back and these are some big onions! I sliced up a bunch to tweak my onion ring recipe and ended up using about one large onion per batch. Needless to say the neighbors were delighted in my pursuit to keep the batter ON the onion rings. Read more about my batter tips here.
