Looks scrumptious and it might be possible to make it with all local ingredients (beets, apples, onions, garlic, dill) in late summer or early fall, when the apples start coming in but the frost hasn’t yet killed the dill!

This recipe has been tempting us for a long while now. Next summer, we swear!

Just onions, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, and butter!  We think it would be especially delicious on pizza, topped with just about anything else that’s in season at the same time as onions.



We were featured in an NPR story by Nicole Spiridakis last year. Read her great explanation of and approach to eating from a CSA share, read an interview with us, and then make all of the amazing recipes:

  • Wilted Greens With Caramelized Red Onion And Toasted Walnuts
  • Herb Pesto
  • Farm Egg Souffle With Vegetables
  • Catch-All Herb Salad With Lemon-Sage Vinaigrette
  • Roasted Red And Sweet Potatoes With Green Beans And Garlic
  • Maple-Oatmeal Fruit Crisp
  • Pickled Carrots

Our favorite version of ratatouille. Something about the dual cooking method — this starts on the stovetop and finishes in the oven — seems to make the vegetables extra sweet.

Love garlic scapes. A new “recipe” I tried at our Memorial Day cookout: chopped some Yukon Gold potatoes, onion, and scapes, tossed in olive oil and salt/pepper, then wrapped them in foil and put them in the smoker along with the pulled pork. Amazing!

This one also comes from our friend Stephanie. Not sure of the original source — please pass it along if you know it!

Green Soup: The Original
Serves 4-6

Ingredients

* 1 bunch chard or spinach, (8 oz)
* 1 bunch kale, (8 oz)
* 4-5 green onions, sliced, white and green parts
* 1/2 cup loosely packed cilantro
* 1 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
* 1 medium Yukon Gold potato (5 oz)
* 1 medium yellow onion
* 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
* Marsala or dry sherry (optional)
* 1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
* 2 1/2-3 cups any basic vegetable broth or canned vegetable broth
* Freshly ground black pepper
* Cayenne
* 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste

Garnish
* Fruity green olive oil

Optional Garnishes
* Crumbled fresh white cheese
* Croutons

This one takes a little while to bake up, but the ingredients and steps are simple as can be. One of the best examples we know of the whole being greater than the sum of its humble parts — in this case: chard, bread, onions, garlic, bread, cheese, broth, salt, water. SO GOOD.
