Week 7 share from the Little River Market Garden CSA

CSA Share 7

Bunch pretty, fat carrots with a huge jungle of carrot greens attached

Loose assorted radishes (watermelon, black spanish and breakfast)

1 huge bunch kale

1 bunch mustard greens

1 bunch Chinese leeks

2 bunches Yukina Savoy

3 stalks lemongrass

Leftover hon tsai tai and papaya from last week

What I Made With My Share

Gnocchi with toasted garlic, walnuts and hon tsai tai, which wasn’t half bad.

Another pho-ish bowl incorporating carrot, radish, yukina savoy, lemongrass and Chinese leeks. Yum.

A kale, lentil, apple and onion salad with pomegranate molasses vinaigrette, which was light and tasty.

A mostly inedible dish involving mustard greens, a chickpea mash and the remaining Chinese leeks.

The Best Thing I Made This Week

The pho-ish. I’m not going to bore you with another faux pho dish so soon, so no recipe this week. I’ve been busy attempting to work out while mulling a possible move over this week, so haven’t remembered to write any recipes down.

Up Next Week

I still have the dreaded papaya hanging around my fridge, and rumor has it we’re getting more next week. I spent this week ignoring the papaya to deal with the sudden greens jungle that had taken over my fridge. Ok, and I just don’t want to deal with it.

I also have some errant carrots, a ton of carrot greens and some assorted radishes left over to deal with at some point.

New To Me Veggies

Yukina Savoy

Yukina Savoy is a brassica, similar to bok choy or tatsoi (but larger). I think it’s even tastier than its more familiar counterparts and hope to get this green again.
