Farm share, week 16

Pickup was in the rain, so the veggies are drying out before I put them away. Also, the timing meant that I picked up during the waning hours of RH, which is definitely less than ideal. Ah, well.

  • 2 pounds of carrots (I eyeballed it, not using scales on yomtov)
  • 2 heads of cauliflower
  • 4 onions
  • 4 heads of garlic
  • 2 heads of Napa cabbage
  • 6 scallions
  • 8 green peppers (I chose long thin ones over bell-shaped ones)
  • 16 smallish tomatoes (I managed to get some yellow ones, not just all red)
  • 2 huge heads of red-leaf lettuce
  • 1.5 pounds of spinach (there was a bag already filled; I don’t know if it was the full amount or half, but again, not with the scales, so this is fine, whichever it is)
  • 2 big bunches of French breakfast radishes with their greens
  • take what you want herbs and hot peppers (amusingly on the whiteboard as “hot peps”; there was a kind I hadn’t seen before, that the site coordinator (Martin) didn’t know either, sort of a longer, smoother habanero; in any case, I didn’t need more, especially not in the rain, so I chose none)

First thoughts: sauteed radish greens with spinach and garlic. Fridge-pickled radishes. Roasted cauliflower. Stir fried Napa with onions, carrots, and tofu, plus seasonings like ginger, soy sauce/miso paste, scallions. Scallion pancakes. Big green salads with lettuce and tomatoes (or open-faced sandwiches) to use the lettuce. Roasted peppers.

Farm share, week 15

I think this is the heaviest share so far this year.
  • 4 pounds of purple-skinned potatoes
  • 4 pounds of sweet potatoes
  • 4 yellow onions (I chose the largest I could see)
  • 4 heads of garlic
  • 2 medium heads of green cabbage
  • 6 smallish Italian eggplants
  • 6 big green peppers
  • 4 large stalks of broccoli with their greens (large enough that I’d consider calling them heads)
  • 24 small red tomatoes
  • 1 pound of basil (half swapped for 2 more onions)
  • 1.5 pounds of mixed salad greens
  • take-what-you-want hot peppers and herbs (I chose Hungarian hot wax peppers, jalapenos, and some cayenne, leaving the habaneros for those who don’t have Scotch bonnets in their fridges, also a bit of tarragon, a bunch of parsley, and some red shiso)

First thoughts: stir-fried broccoli with tofu. Chicken baked with onion, cabbage, and apples (I’d thought of this originally with red cabbage, but I’ll use what I have), maybe also the tarragon. Roasted eggplants, peppers, and tomatoes. Colcannon. Baked sweet potatoes. Some kind of dessert-like dish incorporating sweet potatoes and apples?
