CSA 2021 - Week #4

Happy Summer Solstice! We're harvesting an amazing share for you this week with beets, sugarloaf chicory and scallions. Enjoy!

This week's harvest

NOTE: The fruit share begins in August.

Scallions
Fresh green onions should be the star of the recipe.  Try scallion pancakes (recipe below) or grill them for 1-2 minutes over low.
Uses: Raw/Cooked
When to use: Within 5 days

Buttercrunch Lettuce
Crunchy and sweet!
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge.
Uses: Raw
When to use: Within 3 days

Boston Lettuce
Soft, thick leaves make this early season variety really special.
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge.
Uses: Raw
When to use: Within 3 days

Bok Choi
Eat the whole veg - leaves and stem!
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge. Separate the roots from the leaves
Uses: Raw/Cooked
When to use: Within 5 days

Parsley
We love parsley in salads and soups.  It freshens up dishes with a wonderful flavor.  You can also stick it directly into a storage container (or bag) and put it in the freezer.  Break off and chop up a handful to add to soups in the future!
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge.
Uses: Raw
When to use: Within 3 days

Red Beets
They're here at last! The beet greens are my favorite greens, so don't toss them!  You can cook them like spinach - excellent steamed with olive oil or butter and salt.
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge.  Separate the roots from the greens.
Uses: Cooked
When to use: Within 5 days

Sugarloaf Chicory
This is a cousin of radicchio.  It has a slightly bitter flavor, which I love in salads paired with a sharp cheese and olive oil, lemon juice and fresh garlic.  If you're not a fan of bitter greens, saute it and it will mellow.
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge.
Uses: Raw/Cooked
When to use: Within 5 days

Japanese Salad Turnips
Enjoy raw or cooked - no need to peel.
Storage: In an airtight container in the fridge.
Uses: Raw/Cooked
When to use: Within 5 days
