CSA Update -- The Haul

Update 2: Sara is quick in response! I sent her an email and, in fact, what I have labeled as kale below is actually raab. The kale is in the second photo. I've corrected my mistakes with strikethroughs. :)


Update: I may have the kale and broccoli raab switched around. I'm not sure. Anyone know?

Sara already warned us that this week's box would be small. But here's what we got:

(Left to right) Kale Broccoli raab and oregano.

(Left to right) Green onions, lovage and broccoli raab kale.

I can't wait to try these out. Sara, as promised, did give us some recipes to help us navigate new veggies — broccoli and broccoli rabe on bruschetta and carrot salad with parsley, lovage and mint. Two more recipes were included though we didn't receive any of the ingredients — beets and their greens with marjoram and pine nuts and hot roasted cauliflower.

I'll probably dry some of the oregano for future use since we already have fresh oregano of our own in our garden. It's coming back beautifully.

If we don't think we can eat all the kale I'll freeze some of it.

I think we can eat all the onions, but I'm not sure what to do with the lovage. I may have to dry some of it too to make it last until I can figure out how and where to use it.
