Farm Update: "We have had two light frosts the last two nights, and it's been super cold... the tomatoes are still hanging in there, but that's why we harvested so many on Sunday." ~ Natalie Here's the share for Wolf Pine Farm, Week Fourteen.
Cooking Greens - Here's a recipe inspired by Wolf Pine Farm, chard & chickpeas with feta. For other recipe ideas, see the Leafy Greens recipes but if you can't use the greens for a day or so, I really recommend doing a quick cook right away as in Greek Greens.
Lettuce Mix See all the recipes using lettuce and other salad greens, plus, do you know how to make salad dressing?
Dill While using the Search Box (see it? way at the top right of every page?) to look for dill, the first recipe I pulled up was for a lentil salad and go ahead, laugh! literally interrupted writing this to go make it for supper, although sadly, without dill since it doesn't like the heat in my small herb garden. But you -- you have dill! Ideas include roasted carrots with dill, or borscht beets, a pea salad or either of these beet or zucchini recipes.
Cantaloupe or Watermelon - Says Natalie, "Something for everyone, though perhaps not both" - Two options here, both combined with vegetables for salad, both favorites of mine this very summer, Watermelon, Cucumber & Feta Salad and its cousin, a Lemon, Blueberry & Feta Salad with a gorgeous honey and lime vinaigrette.
Tomatoes - Says Natalie, lots of tomatoes, like six pounds plus 2 pints of cherry tomatoes - Check for recipes for perfect summer tomatoes. If you've not yet had panzanella, now's the time, so the season doesn't pass you by. And there are two versions of tomatoes with fresh mozzarella -- one with good vinegar, the other with good olive oil. Just this week, I remade an easy tomato & rice salad: delicious.
Broccoli - See all the broccoli recipes. My favorite broccoli recipe on the site is Broccoli with Pancetta & Parmesan but I recently remade this BBQ Oriental (don't be put off by the name, it's grilled vegetables) and it was delicious.
Carrots - See all the Carrot recipes but I'd be tempted to tuck some (along with potatoes and maybe beans) into this salmon chowder. For something rich, there's the ultra-dreamy Creamy Carrot Puree. You could also do the very gorgeous Mashed Potatoes & Carrots.
Beets There are (so far) 41 beet recipes on A Veggie Venture. Yes, I love beets for their flavor but more than that, once they're cooked, they're the most amazing convenience food. In fact, all the recipes that call for cooked beets are noted with
Garlic - Presumably, you'll have no trouble using up fresh garlic. But if you've not had it before, what a treat you're in for! I do really recommend the garlicky beans, however.
That's all for the week! Let me know how this works for you by leaving a comment, below! Otherwise, see you next week!
