| Farm Share 3 - Snap peas, carrots, baby beets, salad turnips, bokchoy, herbs (choice of parsley, marjoram, or dill), greens (choice of kale or chard), garlic scapes, mesclun, pea shoots |
While most of these vegetables are familiar, a few may be new to our farm members. Garlic scapes are basically scallions that taste like garlic and are quite versatile. Try roasting or grilling them with garlic or sauteed with eggs. Snap peas - just eat them, shell and all. They are good with your favorite dip as well. Remember that the leaves of the turnips and baby beets are edible and delicious. And nutritious. There are lots of recipes for all these items. My favorite salad turnip recipe is, "slice and eat".
By now it may be starting to be a challenge to use up all your farm share. Or not, depending on how often you like to eat green things. Many items can be kept for longer than 1 week and many can be preserved for the winter. One of the simplest things to do with your herbs is to either dry them and store in a jar for the winter, or chop them up, put in a freezer bag, and freeze for later. Come winter you can enjoy the taste of fresh dill or parsley in your omelets.
Any time you have questions or ideas, just get in touch with your farmers.
