Hey ya'll,
Good stuff in the basket these days, here ya go:
Mountain mint -- Very menthol-y, with a hint of the oregano oils... find a way to yum it. Mixed drink? Mediterranean lentils with yogurt and crisped onions?
Swiss chard -- all kinds of uses... you don't know you betta ask somebody!
Mixed salad greens -- exactly as stated
Zucchini and pickling cucumbers -- If you got a huge zuke, only one or two pickles for you... otherwise, a handful of pickles and a medium-sized zuke
Red Russian kale -- share your recipes with this good stuff, if you find surprising ones... we tend to just roast it with oil and salt :)
Green beans -- Self-explanatory
'UFO' aka Pattypan squash -- these roast amazingly, building some umami almost comparable to mushroom (soup, etc.)
New Zealand spinach -- experiment... not a true spinach, more of an edible succulent... a slightly tang flavor. Let me know if you find a special recipe for it
Genovese basil -- we prayed and prayed we'd be able to get this out with red tomatoes, but they just started flowering and we can't wait any longer! If the flavor on the flowers is too strong, let them steep in a ramekin of olive oil, and just have flavored olive oil to use later (sandwiches, etc.)
Beef share people are getting either stew meat cubes, or cubed steak this week.
As always, it is an extreme pleasure to grow food for your family!
Matt
