Weekly Blog on Grant Family Farms CSA - Week21

This was a great harvest week - hard to believe its November with fresh greens like these. Additionally, this week's basket included these beautiful red skinned carrots that had amazing flavor - probably the best carrot I've ever tasted.

  • Baby greens
  • Spinach
  • Onions
  • Cabbage
  • Lettuce
  • Chard
  • Beets
  • Carrots
  • Leeks
  • Green chilies
  • Cauliflower
  • Butternut squash
  • Cilantro

I had a couple of heads of cabbage from the past several weeks, so i used them for a braised cabbage dish. Remove the tough core from the cabbage, then slice into wedges. Arrange the wedges in a glass baking dish. Add sliced onion and carrot. Sprinkle on salt, pepper and red pepper flake (you can also add other herbs - I had extra thyme that worked perfectly). Then drizzle on olive oil. Add chicken stock to prevent the dish from drying out.. Tightly cover with aluminum foil and bake for 2 hours on 325 degrees. After an hour flip the cabbage wedges. Raise the temperature to 400, remove the foil and cook until the top begins to brown.
