Last night's harvest was like plucking living art from the dirt. Here' s the line-up for your second week's box:
Spring Onions
Can we say "ooo la la!"?
chop up the green bits to sprinkle over stir fries and salads. The height of culinary luxury has arrived.
"This is every cook's opinion
no savory dish without an onion
but lest your kissing should be spoiled
your onions must be fully boiled"
-Jonathon Swift
Baby Bak Choi greens for saute' or snacking!
Mitzuna
another lovely asian green to saute in olive oil and toss with new potatoes and salt and pepper, or for stir fry, fried rice, pasta, risotto, or omelet filling!
"The greatest delight the fields and woods minister is the suggestion of an occult relation between man and vegetable. I am not alone and unacknowledged. They nod to me and I to them."
for braising or saute'.
a few boxes are without mustard greens this week.

French Breakfast Radishes
dip them in butter and sprinkle with salt and pepper...add to salads, stir fries, and tuna salad. Revel in that magnificent color!
Buttercrisp Rosette Lettuces
serve as a bed for roasted chicken, tossed in a vinaigrette.
CRUNCH!
dress up your salads and sandwiches
Poetry for the palatte. I am now starving. You have fresh arugula? and radishes? and onions. Be still my heart...

Jen Baadte here...what a great basket today! Love the mitzuna! We had a great asian chicken salad tonight with the bok choy, the spring onions and the asian cabbage! Yum! So good.
ReplyDeleteWOW, I wish I lived in Gowen, Michigan! Food never looks as good or sounds as wonderful as Mrs. Farmer makes it look via her photography and sound via her poetic descriptions of their harvests!
