cellioToday's haul (a week early because of holidays; next one in three weeks):
- barese (a member of the Swiss chard family? described as similar to bok choy and good in stir-fry)
- six Crimsom Crisp apples
- 2 bulbs garlic (the other pile of garlic in front is delayed from last week)
- shallots (a couple large and a few small)
- five carrots (three large), counting the "Siamese carrots" there as two
- one watermelon radish, named for its distinctive coloring when you cut it open, which I haven't done yet
- six beets
- six golden potatoes
- one butternut squash (smaller than last week's giant)
- 8oz maple syrup
- 2 pounds spelt flour (they recommend brownies and chocolate-chip cookies)
I'll use some barese, shallots, garlic, and maybe shaved carrots in a stir-fry. Some of the barese might go into a tofu hot & sour soup (I have a crock-pot recipe to try). I'll make the recommended brownies and maybe cookies. They included a recipe for a salad of roasted beets and apples that I'll try. I'm not sure whether to eat the radish raw (in a salad) or do something else with it.
In followups from last week: the celeriac with peas was tasty; the celeriac mash (with potatoes and horseradish) was ok (under-horseradished); I used a little of the daikon radish in a salad and pickled the rest (yum). And the butternut squash I roasted. We had some of the goat cheese with dinner tonight.
