Bulk List<\/strong>
This week we are starting the 2009 bulk list — a price list for extra produce items that you can buy. For many items we have planted enough produce for a CSA of 125 members (we have 105 this year). This extra will hopefully be available throughout the year.<\/p>\n

For now, scroll to the bottom of the blog for this week’s offerings. If you wish to purchase any items, please email me your order. Orders are filled on a first come, first serve basis and are subject to availability. Your order will be delivered to your distribution with a payment ticket. You can leave your money with the distribution coordinator.<\/p>\n

Swiss Chard<\/strong>
As Rebecca said, our favorite green. There are many recipes for it out there, a favorite of the CSA being Stuffed Chard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Herbs-Oregano and Italian Parsley<\/strong>
Unfamiliar to many as a fresh herb, oregano is a great addition to many cooked vegetarian dishes. It adds a savoriness to a dish. It is especially good with greens like chard. Italian parsley is good as a flavoring for soups and stock when cooked. It’s sweetness and fresh flavor are best appreciated when added as a garnish, or cooked at the very end of a dish.<\/p>\n

Snap Peas<\/strong>
We have to say that this year is a good year for peas. Despite sitting in the cold, wet ground ground for several weeks before germinating, they did not rot and produced as good a stand as we’ve had in awhile. They are great fresh, just string them and eat them.<\/p>\n

An alternative is the recipe below, created by our intern Lori Watley. It is very simple, fresh and crunchy. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n

Julienne Snap Peas<\/strong>
1\/2 lb snap peas
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
juice of 1\/2 lemon
1\/4 tsp red pepper flakes
3 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (sunflower and pumpkin are good too)<\/p>\n

Put the sesame seeds in a small pot or skillet over high heat. After they warm up, shake the seeds around to prevent them from burning and toast them to a golden brown. When you can start smelling them you are close<\/p>\n

String the peas (see photo) and then cut lenghtwise into thin strips. Mix with seeds and remaining ingredients.<\/p>\n

It is good right away, or after a couple hours of marinating. We also added some julienned hakurei turnips.<\/p>\n
