Okay, the list is in for our first CSA share. And it's a doozy:
- green star lettuce
- baby kale
- radishes
- salad turnips
- English greenhouse cucumbers
- scallions
- broccoli raab or baby spinach
- Asian greens mix of mix of kyona mizuna, hong vit (pink stem radish leaf), red komatsuna (dark maroon leaf), ho mi Z and green wave (spicy mustard greens) and corn mache.
- bok choi
- herb pots
Um, well, I've had lettuce and scallions and spinach and bok choi and probably most of the herbs. Not big on cukes at all but will try one in front of the kids and hopefully pickle the rest--Bud will really like that. Lambeth, any suggestions for those? How do you make a proper English cucumber sandwich? I've never made nor perhaps even eaten radishes or turnips or broccoli raab. What in the world do you do with those? Luckily, I have some cookbooks (okay, more than some, but most of them haven't been vegetable-oriented until recently) I can consult, and, well, another one on the way called Greens Glorious Greens which came highly recommended. Otherwise, Mama has ideas for the greens, which can be sauteed, and the bok choi (bat chai, she says), of course. Herb pots will be fun.
I'll post how we eat our way through the box and what we all think, including recipes either successful or failed. It's going to be a really interesting next few months.
