Weekly Blog on Grant Family Farms CSA - Week15

The CSA posts are a bit backlogged due to a hectic work travel schedule but, not to fear, I've still been cataloging the weekly basket (with a little help)!

Week 15 is one of the largest baskets of the year, including:

  • Baby Greens
  • Giant Beet
  • Yellow Onion
  • Cipollini Onion
  • Carrots
  • Parsley
  • Green Beans
  • Zucchini
  • Eggplant
  • Tomatoes
  • Corn
  • Celery
  • Cabbage
  • Spinach
  • Romain Lettuce
  • Watermelon
  • Musk Melon

All this produce made it into several different dishes and salads. One of my go to dishes with all of this produce is a simple vegetable succotash - dice up all the veggies and saute with garlic, olive oil and fresh parsley until tender. This is a great way to utilize a lot of produce in a healthy, satisfying dish. The cabbage was made into a fresh slaw to accompany barbecued salmon. And the corn was roasted on the grill. I still haven't found a use for a beet of this size - probably would be best juiced.
