More veggies (and sorry about the late list)


Apologies to all for the lateness of the list. I'm sure you've figured out most of what's in your bag of veggies for this week, but, just in case, here you go:

Full share
bag of salad greens (mizuna, lettuce, red mustard, arugua) with edible chrysanthymums
broccoli
Melissa savoy cabbage
garlic scapes and spring onions
herbs (dill, pepper grass, cress) and carrots
one of the following: guay lan, green beans, cauliflower, or beet(s)

Half share

If you've never had garlic scapes before, they're the long, curly, green stalky things, and they're delicious:

They're great sliced up and served as a side dish - they're a little like garlicky green beans. I like to cut them into 2-inch lengths, blanch them (that is, drop them in some boiling water for a minute, then dunk them in cold water to stop them cooking any further) and add them to an Asian-style noodle salad with some matchstick carrots, green onions, and a sesame oil and rice vinegar dressing. There's some good reading on garlic scapes here, here, and here.

Happy eating!
