DiStribution WEek #22
Every other week shares/Senior pick up on odd weeks.
this is the box that will be available
at our Boston Distributions on Thursday
Red Kale: The red kale continues and sweetens as the temperatures drop. Make a pretty kale salad or cook it up.
Brussels sprouts: More sprouts. Break them off their stem, give them a good soak and rinse. Stir fry them up with the garlic for a delicious side dish.
Sweet potatoes: They just keep getting sweeter the longer they cure. So good roasted up. Do not store in the fridge, the cold will damage them. Best stored in a cupboard, pantry or on your counter.
Lettuce heads: More late fall lettuce Great for sandwiches and salads.
Parsnips: A relative of carrots, they have a mild buttery floral flavor. Make them into fries, roast them or add them to soups and stews.
Gold potatoes: These potatoes are tasty and slightly waxy making them a great candidate for adding to soups. They were a little challenged this year by drought and grass and they have some blemishes you will need to cut out. Still tasty though. Best stored in your fridge for long term storage.
Leeks: Delicious mild oniony flavor. Makes great soups or saute them up with the kale.
Carrots: Just dug carrots on the smaller side of things. Frost sweetened, they are great for snacking.
Red cabbage: These take a while to head up but they are finally ready. Crunchy and sweet and adds color to everything.
Curly parsley: A frilly parsley. This parsley is delicious and flavorful for cooking. Put in soups and stews, sprinkle over salads.
