The Last Two Weeks!
We're in the home stretch of the 2018 season! Next week will be our last week of CSA deliveries until our Winter/Spring season begins on January 9th. If it feels like the fall/winter produce is piling up on you, worry not! Most of it - with the exception of leafy greens - has a long storage life. Kohlrabi, celeriac, carrots, potatoes, parsnips, cabbage, apples, leeks and even turnips (if you cut the tops off) will keep for weeks if not months in your fridge. Winter squash and onions will hold for most of the winter in a cool, dry place as well. Our hope in these last couple CSA weeks is to fill your crisper and countertop with crops that will continue to feed you and your family and friends into December, and maybe even beyond.
I've been especially inspired in the kitchen this week (getting home by 5:30 really helps - man, I love winter!) and I've made a few dinners that made me want to invite all of you over, especially those of you who have winter squash piling up as centerpiece decor. I love this recipe from Six Seasons: Roasted Squash with Yogurt, Walnuts and Spiced Green Sauce. I had to buy some cilantro to make the green sauce, but it makes enough that you'll have leftover to re-purpose for chimichurri-esque fish or lamb or steak (that's tonight's dinner plan!). There are some other awesome recipes in Six Seasons: A New Way with Vegetables that make inspired use of hardy fall and winter veg (also spring and summer produce!), so if you don't own the cookbook yet you might drop a hint with Santa.
