Week 6
Here are some of the items you may be
receiving in your delivery this week:
Mesclun, Arugula, Assorted varieties
of Kale, Garlic Scapes, Chives with their edible flowers, Rhubarb and Bull’s
Blood Beets
I hope you are all enjoying a
wonderful weekend. It looks like the beautiful sunny weather is to continue.
This week brings Garlic Scapes! I’m
sure this is a new vegetable to most of you. It is the flower head from the
garlic plant which is snapped off to put the plant’s energy back into the bulb.
Delicious in salads and stir-fry’s, it also makes a fantastic pesto to use on
pasta or chicken.
Garlic Scape Pesto
In a food processor place:

Squeeze of lemon
Pulse the mixture until it starts to
blend and then slowly add some olive oil until the mixture combines. Season to
taste with salt and pepper.
