What’s in the box?
dill
cilantro
radishes (large and medium shares)
celery (Seward small shares didn’t get celery)
spinach (large and medium)
brussels sprouts
greens mix for braising
onions
garlic
carrots
sweet peppers (large and medium)
cauliflower
black futsu squash (large and medium and Seward small shares)
Notes on the box.
The greens mix is bigger this week and well suited for braising. Or you can chop it up and use it for salad.
Black Futsu squash is one of our very favorites. The skin is tender and edible. It’s excellent cut into half moons and roasted, or it makes a nice stuffed squash. Roast as you would acorn or delicata squash.
Remove tops from carrots and radishes before storing.
Brussels sprouts time! If you think you don’t like brussels sprouts because of memories of mushy over-steamed ones that look kind of washed out and gray, you should give these a try! It’s all about how they are cooked. Can’t go wrong with cutting them in half, tossing with olive oil, roasting them and serving them with bacon!
Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.
Deneb, our natural rind gouda style cheese. Lovely and approachable. Great for a cheese board paired with honey or jam, toasted nuts, and cured meat. Or grated on top of stuffed squash.
The garlic dill quark is our market favorite. Quark is a German style cheese, similar to chevre, but made with cows milk instead of goat milk. It’s great on crackers or bagels, but also on just about everything else. You can put it on top of scrambled eggs or baked salmon. Or you can serve it with radieshs as a veggie dip, or with roasted veggies. You can’t go wrong!
