White Russian Kale
The rain was very beneficial this past week and the new transplants and sprouting seeds loved it out in the field. This week we have: Kale (white, purple, and dinosaur) Romaine Head Lettuce Asparagus Fresh Herbs (thyme, sorrel, oregano) Basil Plants Last night we had Asian-Style Saute greens with our fresh fish for dinner. It was an easy and yummy way to eat the kale coming in. Asian-Style Saute 2 TBSP of sesame oil (we used olive oil, in the house) 3-4 cloves of garlic, chopped 1/2 pound mixed greens, coarsely chopped 1 TBSP vinegar 1 TBSP tamari freshly ground black pepper Heat oil in wok or large skillet to moderate heat. Add garlic and saute 2 min. Remove garlic and set aside. Saute the greens until just wilted. Remove from heat, and stir in vinegar, tamari, pepper, and garlic. Serve immediately. Great as a side dish or with rice. Makes 2-4 servings. From From Asparagus to Zucchini, by Madison Area Community Supported Agriculture Coalition
