Week 7
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Green Zest, Spinach, Arugula,
Cucumber, Bunching Onions, Genovese Basil, Mix of Sweet and Purple Basil and
Snow Peas
Basil abounded this week. The
Genovese makes a wonderful pesto and the mixture of sweet and purple would be
excellent in a topping for fish. Here is my favorite:
Using a sharp knife make numerous
slashes across the fish on one side, making sure to not go all the way through.
Mix the zest of one lemon and some chopped basil together and scatter it over
the fish. Push the mixture into the incisions, really rubbing them in. Then
lightly coat with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Either bake or BBQ until the fish is
opaque and flaky. Try not to overcook it as it will become dry and lose a lot
of it’s flavour.
The kids and I also loved having a
cucumber salad last night out of chopped cucumber, olive oil, lemon juice,
chopped basil and a light seasoning of salt.
Have a wonderful weekend!
