May 13, 2011



In your boxes this week, you'll receive some of the following:

Rhubarb
Spinach
Eggs
Arugula
Lettuce
Radishes
Parsley
Spring Garlic Shoots
Carrots

David is encouraged by the recent weather and things are really taking off in the fields: radishes, green onions, lettuce, zucchini, turnips, peas, and potatoes are all in the pipeline. And all the fruit trees, according to our farmer, are finally in riotous bloom.

Spring Garlic

Use spring garlic as you would chives, but expect quite a bit more punch. It is a great addition to marinades, vinaigrettes, and salads. For a very simple fresh tomato sauce, finely dice a whole tomato and toss with three tablespoons minced spring garlic, one tablespoon of very good olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper.
