After a long and painful fresh veggie-less winter, our CSA has finally returned. And we are in pure ecstasy eating food that tastes surprisingly like, well, food.
In our very first crop this week came:
- Asparagus
- Spinach
- Mesclun Greens
- Arugula
- Spinach
- Radishes
- Bok Choi
- Sweet Salad Turnips
- Fresh Strawberries
- Rhubarb
- And Frozen Blueberries
Not half bad for week one.
And with said bounty we made a Vegetable Lasagna with zucchini, share arugula and spinach, and a vegan’s nightmare’s worth of ricotta and mozzarella.
We had several mesclun salads with greens that taste incredibly unlike store-bought salad, with radishes and Oh My Goddess Dressing.
For dessert, we’ve made Strawberry Rhubarb and Basil Compote to serve over vanilla ice cream. (No, I’m not even a little kidding).
We also made Blueberry Muffins (with lemon zest), Coconut Soup with Rice Noodles, Tofu and Bok Choi, we roasted asparagus with garlic and lemon, and even tried sautéing sweet salad turnips. Those, while counterintuitive via their namesake, were surprisingly delightful.
Still more dishes to be made, as our loot has yet to run out. Doing a little dance now. Actually, doing many, many little dances.
What came in your share this week?
