Week 2
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Mixed Kale, Zesty Greens, Red Kitten
Spinach, Purple Top Turnip, French Breakfast Radish, Pac Choy, Mantilla
Lettuce, Pablo Lettuce, Yugoslavian Red Lettuce and Asparagus.
Spring is the season of greens,
usually meaning lots of salads. The colors of these lettuces always makes us
happy and will easily brighten any meal.
The spinach, kale and zesty greens
can be eaten as a salad. Also try them sautéed added to rice dishes or soups,
or as a topping on a sandwich instead of lettuce for a little zip.
The boys and I enjoyed our turnips
raw this week, they taste like a mild radish. A great little appetizer before
dinner.
The asparagus is wonderful on the
grill bringing out a nutty flavour. Also it easily steams or sautés in a pan
with butter. Just break off the bottom of the stalk so you only eat the tender
parts. Unfortunately the asparagus is quite limited this year on the farm. I’m
planting more roots this year for an increased harvest next year.
If you have any questions please feel
free to contact me.
Your Farmer,
Amber
