Week Four

After a lot of cooking with our week three box we were excited to see our next box, and also hoping for some good salad veggies. We've had a heat wave here so any chance to avoid turning on the oven/stove was appreciated.

Week four box:

Red butter lettuce
Agretti
Cucumber
Green onions
Fingerling potatoes
Broccoli
Red Russian Kale
Blackberries
Cherry tomatoes

Most of this deliciousness has been put to good use in salads including the lettuce, cucumber, green onions, and kale. However, we've also cooked up a couple new dishes! The following is from Bearclaw:

The first of the three delicious dishes created by this lovely bunch of vegetables was an egg scramble which made for an incredible breakfast. It turned out way better than expected. I first chopped up the broccoli, kale, green onions, walla walla onion and orange pepper, seasoned the whole bowl of veg.

Then I tossed it all into a pan and cooked for about 10 minutes and set it aside while I began cooking some eggs. Then after about a minute or two of cooking the eggs, I combined it with the eggs and then the ultimate ingredient to all meals, cheese. Lo and behold a delicious veggie scramble.

The next meal was a simple pasta dinner with Italian Argetti. What better way to use an Italian green than in a meal that breathes Italian. Pasta. I prepared the pasta and sauce while sauteing the argetti. The result was this hearty dinner. Highly recommended use for argetti. 

The final meal produced using these vegetables was a recipe we experienced a few years ago from a friend. It was a bleu cheese potato salad. Can't go wrong with a potato salad with lots of bleu cheese.
