Week 21
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Spinach, Rutabaga, Beet Greens,
Lacinato Kale, Rainbow Swiss Chard, Potatoes, Celeriac, Garlic and Rosemary
This week is a bit of a mix with the
end of the season drawing near. For those who do not know what Celeriac is,
it’s a root vegetable with a celery taste. It is wonderful in stews, boiled and
mashed with potatoes and grating into a slaw salad with cabbage, carrot… Just
about any root vegetable can go in it.
My favorite easiest dressing for
coleslaw:
Start small as you can always make
more. For two people I usually use ½ cup of mayonnaise and then slowly add
pickle juice mixing until a desired consistency is reached. Add salt and pepper
to taste. Then add your coleslaw and toss it together. If you think you need a
little more dressing just make some more in a separate bowl and then pour over
the salad.
Another great side dish is rutabaga
or potatoes roasted with rosemary and garlic. Dice up the root vegetable, mince
the garlic and add some copped rosemary. Mix in a casserole dish with some
olive oil and bake until tender at 350 degrees.
Next week the delivery will be on
Thursday as Friday is Halloween. It will also be the last delivery for this
season. My thoughts are already on next season and I am looking forward to your
ideas on what you would like me to grow for you in 2015.
Have a wonderful week!
Your Farmer,
Amber
