June 17 CSA Share
July 3rd, 2009Cabbage starts this week. Somewhere in my giant pile of clipped recipes, I’ve got a couple for cabbage that I want to try. Though I’m not that big of a fan of coleslaw, this recipe (which I linked to last year) is pretty good. Of course, that is for red cabbage, and we received green cabbage this week. I once tried making sauerkraut, but my lackadaisical approach and faulty memory made it somewhat of a disaster. I ended up tossing the entire pan, complete with towel and National Geographics (for weight) into the trash – what a waste!
Half share from June 17, 2009.
This week’s photo may look a little sparce. It is just half of the produce, as I was not able to get a photo of the full share. We actually received two cabbages, one bunch of baby turnips (so double what’s in the photo), two pounds of cucumbers, two heads of lettuce, and three onions (two white, one red). Additionally, what looks like parsley in the photo is actually cutting celery, an herb that I’ve never used before. It smells and tastes like celery. Above the onion is a lemon cucumber. This is one of my CSA’s specialties. It tastes like a normal cucumber, but is round and yellow instead, so it would yield nice big slices for a cucumber sandwich.
