2009 CSA, Weeks 3, 4, 5
Jul 2nd, 2009 by Jess
Even though I’ve slacked a bit in posting about our CSA, we’ve actually been keeping up pretty well with the food we’ve been getting each week. The only food we struggle with are turnips. We’re drowning in turnips. I’m not a huge fan of the taste, and I need to do some research on creative ways to use them. I did find a fantastic recipe for using up leafy greens: Swiss Chard Gratin. It’s a gratin, and has a good amount of cream and butter, so it’s not the healthiest. Still, we used up every single one of our greens in it. Even the greens from the turnips and beets, which usually just go into the compost pile.

I wish you could cook for me!! That swiss chard gratin sounds yummy!
It was yummy! I’ll probably make it again with some different veggies from the CSA (what doesn’t taste good in a gratin?) ;-)
