Due to lack of interest, we will not be extending the CSA. You can still buy your Willie Green's produce at the University Farmers Market or West Seattle Farmers Market. This is the last Wednesday delivery and there are no more weekend deliveries. Once again, we have enjoyed the feedback and all of the wonderful recipes you have all shared with us. We hope you were as pleased with the winter season as we were. I will be working several of the farmers markets again this year so I will get to see some of you there. Have a good few months we will see you soon.

Lamb's Lettuce (Mache) with Parmesan and gingered scallops
Ingredients for 4 servings
1/2 lb of mache (lamb's lettuce)
8 scallops
4 sheets of brick pastry
50 g (2 oz.) parmigiano reggiano (parmesan)
4 tbsp. grapeseed oil
1 tbsp. flour
Juice of 1 lemon
1 lime
1 piece of ginger root
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
Salt and pepper
Method
Wash and gently dry the 2 baskets of lamb's lettuce.
In a blender, purée one basket of lamb's lettuce with the grape seed oil until you get a smooth green oil; strain.
Roll up the sheets of brick and cut into thin strips, like thin tagliatelle.
Mix into these strips of brick some of the lamb's lettuce oil as well as some grated Parmesan.
Form into small nests, season and place in a 150° C (300° F) oven for 10 minutes to dry.
Make a vinaigrette with the lamb's lettuce oil, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Set aside.
Grate the lime zest and juice the lemon.
Preparing the scallops and finishing the dish
Season the scallops and bread them lightly.
Sauté lightly in lamb's lettuce oil, add the grated lime zest, the fresh grated ginger and deglaze with the lemon juice.
Finish cooking the scallops in the oven for 3 minutes at 150° C (300° F).
Wash and pick over the second basket of lamb's lettuce and season with the prepared vinaigrette.
On each plate, arrange three small bunches of lamb's lettuce with their brick and parmesan nests, the scallops and a couple drizzles of balsamic vinegar.
