NOTES ON THE GOLDEN EARTHWORM VEGGIE SHARE
What a spectacular box of fall greens! Escarole (the frilly lettuce look-alike) is a member of the endive family, less bitter than you would expect, and can be eaten raw in a salad or cooked. The link below to Martha Stewart’s primer on escarole is great for those unfamiliar with this delicious green. Mesclun Lettuce Mix and Boston Lettuce will provide you with a week’s worth of delicious leaf salads. Baby Bok Choi is a favorite, braised or cooked alongside tofu in many Asian dishes. Japanese Salad Turnips can be eaten raw or cooked. We like to slice them up and sprinkle them with a little sea salt. The green tops are delicious when sauteed with garlic and olive oil. Kohlrabi may be new to many of you too! Try slicing thinly and enjoying raw, or roast them (recipe below). Toscano Kale—thank goodness this one is back for the fall! I need my daily kale fix and this variety is perfect steamed with garlic and umeboshi vinegar (my favorite way to eat it), or baked into kale chips or thrown into soups. A lovely bag of tender Arugula and a box of Baby Yukon Gold Potatoes round out the shares. Wow! I can’t wait to get into the kitchen this week.
