abracanabraYes, I will destroy your friends page all by myself.
Click through to see notes on what's what. Our half of a CSA share from Harmony Valley Farm. The amount of produce is picking up again after the storm damage, I think. Contents: Fresh Italian Red Garlic, Green Top Beets, Fennel, Snow Peas, Collard Greens, Strawberries, White Scallions, Cauliflower, Green Leaf Lettuce, Basil (choice item). Seeing the last of: strawberries. New this week: beets, fennel, collard greens.
What I made
Beef and Snow Pea Stirfry. Used from CSA: snow peas from last 2 deliveries, plus 4 garlic scapes, 1/2 head fresh garlic, and 1 purple scallion. Was deliciously spicy.
Chicken with Sauteed Onion and Fennel and Fennel Cream - made with chicken, used dried milk substitute for whipping cream. Was not good, but that's probably my fault for lacking sufficient good technique. Used from CSA: 1 1/2 white scallions and fennel. I thought was a little better shredded with spaghetti the next day, but Phil disagrees.
Cauliflower Cheddar Gratin with Horseradish Crumbs - added green beans because of inadequate cauliflower. Used cauliflower, 1/2 white scallion from CSA. Made at the same time as the above, which made everything more complicated.
Classic Pesto. Used all the "choice" basil plus about a cup picked from the basil plant planted from our herb pack. Used about twice as much garlic as called for, added a bit of lemon juice and fresh-ground black pepper. Very good.
Greens with Currants and Couscous. Used collard greens and beet greens, fresh currants from our backyard instead of dried, Italian sausage instead of merguez (any spicy sausage would do), and dried parsley instead of fresh cilantro (I *hate* cilantro).
