Sorry for the late post (we can blame that one on mama)! The solstice heat has finally kicked in and the plants are lovin’ it. The green house tomatoes are booming and the outside ones are coming along (slowly though). The greens are finally in true abundance as well…so nice! So for the week you received:
Collard greens: one of our favs..our friend who traveled to Brazil told us of a simple and delicious recipe. Saute 3-4 cloves of garlic in olive oil till brown. Then remove the garlic and after thinly slicing (and de-steming) your greens lightly braise them in the garlic infused oil until tender and bright green. Serve along side of some pinto beans and rice.
Dill: Some of you might not know what to do with so much of this fresh herb, but it will soon be a staple to your meals. Add it fresh to salads especially potato salad, dilly beans and rice, or just dry it by hanging it upside down and use later as needed (maybe for your pickles).
Spinach
Salad mix
Sweet peas: these might be all you see until the fall. We had a bit of a crop failure this year but we will soon be seeding more for the fall.
Strawberries
Napa cabbage: these guys are a little under-developed but we wanted to add something else to your basket. So.. fine dice them and add as a last finishing touch to your stir-frys for some bright green crunch.
Enjoy and have a great summer week!- SWF
