CSA week #7. July 9, 2012.

WHOA! It’s a MEGA box this week!

1. NEW! Fennel!  Leaves that look like dill, and the crunchy “bulb.”  You will LOVE our Fennel salsa recipe!  Click on “Fennel” in the left column to find it.  Use this “salsa” with chips, on top of a bed of lettuce, on fried fish or chicken, or just on its own as a salad.  SO good!  Also google fennel recipes to see some amazing carmelized onion and fennel recipes.  That’s what I’m making for supper tonight!
2. Broccoli
3. Cauliflower
4. Lettuce
5. Hakurei Turnips (with tasty leaves!  Try sauteeing these leaves with green onions in butter or bacon fat, and then top with salt or the fennel salsa!)
6. Green Onions (the thinnings from where our storage onions are too crowded)
7. Zucchini and Summer Squash
8. Rainbow Chard
9. Cilantro — use it for the fennel salsa!
10. Chamomile   \
11. Mint                 | —>   all three of these herbs can be hung to dry in a
