WHAT'S IN THE HARVEST BOX THIS WEEK
Grown on our farm using organic farming
methods: broccoli, squash, spinach, greens mix, cauliflower, green beans, onions, raspberries, chard and carrots.
Blenheim apricots from Mike Cirone in See Canyon..."dry farmed" for great flavor.
Use this week's
spicy greens mix ( contains mizuna, red mustard, pac choi and leaf broccoli ) to make a zesty salad. Mix in some of spinach to tone down the flavor if desired.
The
Romano Italian green beans are some of the most flavorful of all the green bean varieties...but they may benefit from a few extra minutes of cooking ( as compared to the Blue Lake varieties ) to make the Romano bean more tender.
Cooking the Rainbow colored chard:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Stir in the sliced garlic, red pepper flakes, and chard stems, and cook for 3 minutes until the flavor of the garlic mellows and the stems begin to soften. Stir in the shredded chard leaves, cover, and cook 5 minutes over medium-low heat.
A simple and delicious way to prepare the
zucchini squash.
.cut the squash lengthwise into stripes about 1/4 inch thick, cover with a little olive oil and seasonings, put them on a hot bar-b-q grill or under a broiler for 5 to 10 minutes on each side until brown and crispy
