Dad & Mary arrived last Thursday, which is farm share pickup day. Last week's box included:
spring garlic
kale
arugula
green leaf lettuce
cilantro
dill
spinach
napa cabbage
bok-choi
radishes
In addition to the contents of our box, we also bought a bunch of peas at the farm stand. On Saturday morning we went to the Farmer's Market and bought more peas, some scallions, and haruki turnips. The Brookfield Farm stand was offering samples of the turnips and once I tasted them I just couldn't pass them up. They were so delicious raw and unadorned. I was happy to see that we got some in Week 3's box yesterday as well!
I have to admit that I didn't get too creative with farm share cooking this week since we had visitors. The menu included lots of salads (of course) featuring the arugula and spinach. I made veggie sandwiches on everything bagels for lunch that included (among other non-farm share things) green leaf lettuce, and thinly sliced radishes and turnips.
On Tuesday night I made Stir-Fried Bok Choy and Cabbage, and served that along with chicken and leftover potatoes from the clam boil. The greens were delicious! It looks like we got another huge bunch of bok choi in this week's box, so I'll have to do some searching to figure out what else to make with it.
We also had leftover clams and broth from the clam boil, so on Thursday night I made the best clam chowder ever. I don't think I will be able to use clam juice and canned clams again!
I saved the small bunch of kale from last week since I knew we would get more in this week's box (which we did). Since we still have peas left and got more turnips, I might make this over the weekend.
Happy eating!!!
