CSA Week Seventeen

News from the field:

Brrrr! It is getting downright cold at night now, and the few veggies left in the field aren’t very happy about it. But all good things must come to an end, and considering that the ground is typically frozen solid by early November, we don’t have much left to the growing season.

But thanks goodness for cold hardy greens. The fall salad bounty continues in your basket this week. We should enjoy it while we can!

In the Basket:

Brussel sprouts – The trick to these is not to overcook. They’re great roasted with bacon or sliced in half and stir fried in a very hot cast iron skillet or try Beatrice’s recipe below.

Napa cabbage – This is good for fluffy cole slaw, especially with peanuts or an asian type dressing. Or try Chris’s very popular recipe on the back!

Garlic, romaine or arugula, spinach – Rather than take up space with ideas for these, I thought I could squeeze in another recipe!
