Howdy everyone!
In this week's share there was
1 head of lettuce. Just enough for one round of tomato sandwiches. The next plantings look good, so we should be back on the lettuce wagon again soon.
2 green peppers.
1 lemon cucumber. The round greenish-yellow sphere with slightly prickly skin. Slice it like any other cucumber. Just like the lettuce, the next planting of cucumbers looks promising. For now it is a cucumber drought.
2 hot peppers. Pick up some cilantro and limes at the grocery store! It's time to make salsa. Dice up your onion and hot pepper add salt and half a lime's juice, mash those with a fork - to let the salt and citrus mellow and meld the flavors. Then add the diced tomato and chopped cilantro. taste for S&P. enjoy with some tortilla chips or tacos or nachos,etc.
1 pint of little tomatoes. perfect for a salsa or a fresh tomato pasta dish. For a corn and tomato salad with basil and garlic croutons. for a traditional green salad with your one lettuce and one cucumber.
5 slicing tomatoes. BLT. Mozzarella and tomato and basil. A few cranks of salt and pepper on the tomatoes is essential. a whisper of balsamic vinegar and tasty extra virgin olive oil are the other crucial ingredients to a fabulous insalata caprese (chop the basil and stir it in a little dish with the olive oil before adding - then it won't turn brown).
zucchini and summer squash. I tried to post a million ideas on the website. They are recipes that other farms that use our website host, smallfarmcentral.com, have posted and shared with all of us. Thanks, fellow veggie growers! Simple things are delicious. Basil is always a great addition with summer squash. I tend to add diced squash to just about everything I put in a sautee pan. A frittata I made the other day came out fantastic!
potatoes. If you haven't tried a potato salad with these yet, I recommend it. Any other method will be just fine, too. You could do an Indian style curry with the onions, peppers, potatoes and maybe even some summer squash. Serve w/ rice. voila!
Little onions. for cooking, salsa, grilling, whatever.
parsley. add it to potato salad, a frittata, any pasta sauce, tuna salad, tabouleh,
That's all!
