Week 2

I was away for most of week 2 of our farm share, but we received the following:

romaine
cabbage
fava tendrils
collard greens
parsley
chard
carrots
chioggia beets

S. made a salad with the cabbage, romaine, and some of the carrots while I was away.

I returned home yesterday, and for dinner I made a quicker collard greens recipe. It came out pretty tasty, but S. is not a fan of sweet-savory combinations so next time I will leave out the maple syrup. I was pleased to find a collards recipe that a) didn't take two hours, and b) didn't require a hamhock. Where does one purchase a hamhock?

For a main course I made some pasta using the fava tendrils. I modified this recipe, leaving out the peas, and with basil instead of mint. It was delicious, though didn't really pair all that well with the collards, and S. and I each brought the leftovers to work for lunch today.

I still have the rest of the carrots, beets, chard, and parsley, and there is another pick up tonight... But we'll figure it out!
