NOTES FROM GOLDEN EARTHWORM
This week’s delivery is the official “CSA Week #1” delivery. Note that last week was a special early “Pre-Week” delivery to make up for the Thanksgiving conflict that will occur in November.
Don’t forget to wash the Lettuce Mix before serving! The Salad Turnips are delicious sliced raw in salads or sprinkled with sea salt for a simple snack. And don’t forget to eat the tops! Turnip tops are so delicious – simply saute with olive oil and garlic. They wilt down quickly – similar to spinach. Bok Choi is traditionally eaten in stir-fries, but you may want to try the simple braising recipe below. Romaine Lettuce is perfect for a Caesar Salad and the Arugula is delicious as a salad or cooked in the (totally fabulous) recipe I share below. Finally, Red Kale is my favorite type of kale because of its sweet flavor and delicate leaf texture. (Galen agrees and eats it raw!) I prefer to eat this kale variety raw in a salad (see recipe below) or very gently steamed. I’ll share my favorite ways to prep kale in an upcoming newsletter. I think this is enough to get you started for now! -Maggie
