NOTES FROM GOLDEN EARTHWORM
Can I just start out by saying that the baby carrots in this week’s share are to die for? We have been enjoying them for dinner for the past 4 days. I snip off the tops (leaving about 1/2 inch of the greens) and give them a good scrub. With skins on, toss them with some good quality olive oil, salt & pepper and spread out evenly on a baking sheet. They roast quickly (about 12-15 minutes) in a 425F oven. Let them brown in spots and shake the pan half-way through to flip them over. Even Baby Farmer, who officially turns 6 months next week, has been chowing down on them! I’m also loving the fennel this week. If you have any escarole left over from last week’s share, you can make the escarole, fennel and white bean salad recipe that was in last week’s newsletter. If not, you may want to try it sliced thinly in a salad with avocado and red onion. And if the fennel flavor is jut not your thing…try braising it! Cooking the fennel mellows out its flavor. See my braising recipe below. More beautiful lettuce and some cooking greens round out the share for most folks. The other items in the box are make-ups from past weeks, so check our past newsletters for cooking tips and recipes.
Stay cool this week! -Maggie
