Roasted Broccoli

Well, the printed version of this recipe that I slipped in the bag this week for my Sunshine for Dinner veggie subscribers has a major flaw, and for that I apologize. I managed to leave out one of the main ingredients - lemon juice. Whoops. Folks, please add in the juice of half a lemon when you are tossing the broccoli florets with the olive oil. It tastes amazing!

Here is the full, correct (I hope!) version of the recipe. This is pretty much straight up the same recipe that can be found on the site Simply Recipes - my favorite place online to find recipes.

INGREDIENTS

• Fresh broccoli, cut into florets
• Olive oil, 2-3 T
• Minced garlic, 2-3 cloves
• Juice of half a lemon
• Salt
• Pepper
• Parmesan cheese

METHOD

1 Heat oven to 425F

2 Toss broccoli, olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a large bowl till evenly distributed.

3 Spread out evenly in a roasting pan. Roast in the oven for 15-18 minutes. Top with freshly ground pepper and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese

First veggie delivery of 2013!

So amazing! Today is our first veggie delivery from our new high tunnel/hoop house - we picked some delicious and healthful veggies for our customers. If you haven't had a call from me about getting some veggies - don't panic! These early harvests will be limited until we get a better feel for how the crops will recover and how much we will be able to pick each week. I can't rely on the farmer's markets to make up the difference or to add variety, as there aren't many vendors selling right now. So everything in the bag needs to come from Sunshine for Dinner.  As the weather warms, the gardens will be growing faster and I will be able to add more families to my delivery list. So sooner or later, I will be calling.
