The Beginning....
Hi Friends,
First delivery of the season and we are fired up to be bringing you some awesome food! This is week A, so check your schedule if you are a half share to see if you are getting a delivery. If you are a full share, you are lucky to get a bag every Friday for the next 18 weeks! This May has been just as crazy as every other May we have experienced. We have been busy planting, planning, mowing, cutting, building fences, dealing with extreme weather conditions and now harvesting. We are excited to bring you some more unusual items that you can’t just get anywhere. We try to label or describe as many of the items as possible, but if you get something in your bag and just don’t know what it is, please send us an email and we will tell you what the UVB (unidentified vegetable in the bag) is. Also the internet is a good resource for recipes for any of the items we put in our bag, but if you have a particularly good recipe, please add it as a comment below this blog listing. So, now the time we have been waiting for… what’s in the bag? Chock full of flavor, vitamins and nutrition, we are featuring:
- · Our world famous salad mix (over 20 different types of greens and herbs) - We like to tear up the larger pieces and then toss the mixture well with a dressing.
- ·Asparagus
- ·Joi Choi – a white-stemmed pac choi that is great as part of a stir-fry: succulent
- ·Ruby Currant Jam
- ·Dried Shiitake Mushrooms – soak in water, milk, broth,… until tender and then use like fresh mushroom. Don’t forget to use the soak juice in another recipe.
- ·Asian Braising Greens Medley – a mix of Hon Tsa Tai, Komatsuna and Yokatta-na. All can be prepared by lightly sautéing.
Enjoy!
