CSA: Week 4

Lynne Robinson, Hewitt, New Jersey

Last week we found beets (again) in our distribution, lovely baby salad greens, and for the first time—green beans.

I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed we are not getting more each week. I know the weather and the woodchucks have been challenging, but still, we hoped for more. However, I must say that everything we get is top quality. I was really hoping for more chard as we had planned to make the Leek and Swiss Chard Tart for our upcoming dinner party. So on Wednesday I headed off to the farmer’s market and bought some there. They only had a curlier leafed chard with white stems and I didn’t think the flavor was as nice as the red.

The peas just didn’t make it. They got some kind of disease and were not looking good because of all the moisture and Pedro said he never wants to give us anything that is not up to his standards. I don’t blame him!

The green beans were just enough for Rick and I to have as a side vegetable. The greens we used several times as a green salad, and once as a bed for the beets which I oven roasted. So, no new grandiose recipes this week, just eaten plainly. Delicious though!
