FALL CSA week 5

Use first: Lettuce (green and red), cilantro and hakurei tops

Up to a week: sweet peppers, curly kale, carrots, joi choi, and red radish (large share shown)

Garlicky Ginger Joi Choi

Ingredients

▢
1 1/2 lbs joi choi bok choy or pak choi

1 1/2 tablespoons light flavored olive oil

3 cloves garlic minced

1 teaspoon fresh ginger peeled and then minced

3 tablespoons water

course sea salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions

Trim the very end off of the joi choi and then gently separate the leaves from the center. Leave the little baby bok choy intact in the center. (The little center pieces were perfectly tender - we loved them.) Rinse clean under cold running water. Drain and set aside.
In a COLD frying pan, add the olive oil, the garlic and the ginger. Then turn on the heat to medium. When the pan is fragrant, add the joi choi and toss very well to coat each and every leaf with the garlic and ginger oil. Increase heat to medium high and continue tossing (fast!) for about 15 seconds. Add the water and cover for 1 minute. Season with salt and drizzle a bit of sesame oil on top. Enjoy!

Steamed kale with ginger-infused carrots

Subtle ginger notes, sweet al dente carrots and steamed kale create the perfect veggie side dish.

By Sarah F. Berkowitz

YIELD: SERVES 6

PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES
COOK TIME: 30 MINUTES

Kale makes you wonder – where was it hiding before all the foodies and nutritionists discovered it and turned it into everything from smoothies to chips? Seems like every few years a new wonder food turns up on the shelves, and like well-behaved consumers, we all go crazy over it.

Let me tell you folks, this one’s worth the hype. With a perfect 100 on the ANDI scale, kale is the absolute best food you can feed your body. But now you’re left with the challenge of figuring out varying ways to serve it so no one gets bored.

This kale recipe is simple – it takes just a few minutes to prepare, cooks quickly, and its bold colors make it an attractive side dish at any meal. If you’re a fan of ginger, go ahead and grate some fresh pieces straight into the pot while it’s cooking. That’ll take your ginger infusion up a notch and yield an outstanding fresh and kicky taste.

INGREDIENTS

1 pound carrots
1/2 pound kale, chopped
1 teaspoon dried ginger
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

DIRECTIONS

Peel carrots and remove ends. Slice into nickel-width bias-cut slices and place into a large pot. Season with ginger, onion and garlic powder.

Cover carrots with water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and allow carrots to cook 20 minutes. Drain water.

Add kale and stir on low heat until kale is wilted. Taste and add more seasoning, if desired. Serve warm.
