CSA member Amy shared her recipe for French “peasant” beets with us — a recipe that ended up in the Food52 cookbook! These look amazing and are perfect for this time of year, when beets and chard are both in and both gorgeous.

RECIPE: Vegan Creamed Kale from nourishingmeals.com

RECIPE: Vegan Creamed Kale from nourishingmeals.com:

This recipe for vegan creamed kale is seriously out of this world. If the idea of “creamed” kale makes you think of limp vegetables in a blah sauce, prepare to be delighted. We love this best over sweet potatoes, but we don’t have any now, so we’re eating it for dinner this late May night on top of baked potatoes. It’s also great on brown rice or any other grains. And it’s great with other veg! You’ll be getting broccoli in your CSA shares soon — this would be a great way to prepare it.

Thanks so much to our friend Christina, who found this recipe forThe Farmers Market at St. Stephen’s newsletter. We’ll have our celery at market this afternoon — come buy a bunch or two and give this a try. Braising is one of our VERY favorite ways to cook vegetables, especially vegetables that seem a bit bracing when they’re raw.
