CSA Harvest Guide : June 16 : Week 4

This week we hope to harvest: Chinese Cabbage, Carrots, Peas, Lettuce, Broccoli Raab, Oregano, and Purslane.

We are still working to create a recipe page for all the veggies we are growing. Below is a chart for this week's vegetables that do not have their own category under 'recipes'.

Vegetable Description Washing/Storing General Use
Broccoli Raab
Purslane Purslane is a sprawling, succulent plant that grows naturally around Spoutwood. It's stem is reddish and thick, with dark green oblong leaves. It has a sweet-sour flavor. The whole plant is edible; stem and leaves. Store unwashed in a plastic bag, wrapped in a damp paper towel, in the crisper compartment of the fridge. To wash: submerge in cold water and swish around, drain and let dry, before preparing. Purslane is a great addition to salads. Chop the stem and leaves and toss with other leafy greens. Below is a simple recipe for purslane potato salad.
Oregano Oregano is an aromatic flavorsome herb. It is a nutrient dense spice; it is a good source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids. Store oregano in a slightly damp paper towel in the fridge. Try freezing it in ice cube trays with stock or water. The 'oregano cubes' can be added to soups, or stews. It is a great addition to Mediterranean and Mexican cuisines. Enjoy it chopped sprinkled over pizza. Try sauteing it with mushrooms and onions for an easy, tasty side.
