Week 6 Veggie List & Ideas

Another Round of Pasta a l'Olio Likely This Week!

Week 6 of our CSA farm share and we’re getting more spring onions and green garlic, no surprise at this time of year. Sounds like another week for Pasta a l’Olio, possibly adding the oyster mushrooms we’re getting. A few sundried tomatoes would be another tasty addition.

More fava beans, broccolini, sugar snap peas and watercress.  Does anyone have a new idea for watercress? I only have one watercress recipe, and the watercress is more of an accompaniment than an ingredient. Any watercress recipes out there?

Broccolini

Carrots

Cauliflower

Fava beans

Green garlic

Kale (Red Russian or Lacinato)
