We got several things today that I think of as difficult to use: kohlrabi (pictured), radishes, and bok choi. I’m really more of a summer vegetable person. But I’ll come up with something. I have a pretty good recipe somewhere for sesame radishes. Other goodies received: strawberries, kale, green lettuce, and green garlic. We will need to eat the strawberries soon – they mold very quickly. Shouldn’t be a problem…
For supper last night, I made asparagus and mushroom risotto and baked italian tofu, served with a green salad. I’ve started using the red-leaf lettuce from Wednesday, and also used up the asparagus. For dessert, I made a crumb-topped strawberry pie with the berries I got that day. Everything turned out really well! But I am concerned that I’m not going through the greens fast enough…
The first share of the year! Here’s what we got: asparagus, strawberries, red-leaf lettuce, green lettuce, bok choi, tatsoi, green garlic, and turnips. The share was supposed to also have kale, but I think maybe we got extra lettuce instead. Tatsoi is a new one for me. It’s an Asian green that is pretty similar to kale, so I will probably use it in the same way. The bok choi and turnips will be the most difficult to use – I’m not that fond of either.
