In this box we got baby bok choy, peas, salad mix, kohlrabi, walla walla onions, and a "braising mix" which I'm guessing was a kind of kale.
This blog is to keep track of what new things we're trying and how to incorporate new vegetables into our meals. Like all new projects, week 1 has proven to be easy and fun.
My husband made a lasagne, instead of pasta noodles, he added some of the "braising mix" greens and ribbons of zucchini. The rest of the lasagne was the usual meat (sausage) cheese (mozza and cottage) and garlicy tomato sauce, with sundried tomatoes thrown in too.Plenty of Italian spices. Without the usual pasta to absorb the liquid, you have to make the sauce very thick to compensate. It was delicious.
Some of the braising mix also made it into our scrambled eggs along with basil, salt, pepper and sundried tomatoes.
The baby bok choy was added to a pork tenderloin stir fry, along with a walla walla onion, carrots, and broccoli. We had ours with lettuce and the kids enjoyed it tossed with linguini noodles. The marinade/sauce was a mix of soy sauce, balsamic, garlic, red pepper flakes, pepper and a squeeze of ketchup (for the sugar and thickness). I was out of ginger, otherwise that would have been in there too. The kids have just been eating the peas straight and raw.
What a great idea Karli. I will read it every week for ideas on using the vegetables.
