Kohlrabi can be steamed, roasted, boiled, or baked. It can also be eaten raw – try combining it with apple, carrot, onion, and parsley to make […]
Garlic scapes are enjoying a new-found popularity. We got some in this week’s share. Not a whole lot, but enough to enjoy. The New York Times posted an article today on the virtues of The Scape (and garlic in general). There is a recipe for White Bean and Garlic Scape dip that only requires 3-4 […]
While I’m not vegan (or even a strict vegetarian), I often enjoy the recipes at VeganYumYum. This one for Sweet Chili Lime Tofu with Wok Steamed Collards and Quinoa looks delicious, and you can substitute our CSA kale or swiss chard for the collard greens.
