Week Four of 2014

Later in the summer the farm will not be able to provide basil, so they potted basil for us to grow and have for use all summer.

We got...

Beets, Broccoli, Cabbage, Chard, Cucumber, Head Lettuce, Salad Mix, Scallions, Snow Peas, Summer Squash,  Zucchini, Basil, Parsley, Basil Pots

My ideas...

Beets and Basil – Golden Beet Pasta with Basil-Almond Pesto

This recipe calls for Golden Beets, but I’m sure the striated Chioggia Beet would look great in this dish.

Broccoli – Sweet Sesame Noodles with Chicken and Broccoli

Cabbage – Cabbage Slaw with Tangy Mustard Dressing

We needed a slaw for the July 4^th Holiday!

Chard and Parsley – Spinach and Ricotta Ravioli

I have some wonton wrappers I need to use so I’m going to replace the spinach with chard and try this recipe.

Cucumber – Shaved Cucumber Salad

Snow Peas – Seared Scallops with Snap Peas and Pancetta

I’m going to try the snow peas as a substitution for the snap peas.

Summer Squash and/or Zucchini – Chickpea and VegetableTagine
