Basket #2... full of fun!

Full of food, for you :)

So here's what we got for you all this week:

NEW FRIENDS

French breakfast radishes -- such a nice, mildly peppery flavor, and the texture right now is amazing... just the right amount of crispy and juicy! FUN FACT: you can actually stir-fry the leaves... mince 'em up first!

New Zealand spinach -- not a true spinach, more like a variety like Malabar. good fresh but I'm always finding I have to salt em a bit, to make em really tasty

Blue kale -- just... yum. Slice up into bite-sized pieces, massage salt, olive oil and a squeeze of lemon in, let it sit and tenderize for 10 minutes, and enjoy!

Lambs Quarters -- can treat like spinach, eat fresh on a sandwich, bake on top of a pizza, or pan-fry for a few minutes in olive oil and garlic. Avoid the stem!

Dandelion greens -- definitely need to find a cooked greens recipe for these, to take the bit of sharpness out. Very great specimens, harvested before the rosettes have bolted!

OLD FRIENDS

Head lettuce -- Arugula -- Kohlrabi

Please send me great recipes, as you discover them in your experimenting and cooking! I'd like to start sending out a mid-share-week blog, with a couple of good recipes from ya'll :)

Until next Thursday, friends!
