As I mentioned in my last post, Vermont Valley had to skip a week of deliveries due to the extreme heat and drought we are having in Wisconsin. The heat has broken a bit, but we still have not gotten any rain. Even so, this week’s delivery is gorgeous variety of tasty veggies. I can’t wait to get started eating them!
We got:
- Sugar snap peas
- Onion
- Fresh garlic
- Cucumber
- Fennel
- Tomatoes
- Kohlrabi
- Eggplant
- Green beans
- Swiss chard
- Lettuce head
Looking this over, I’m thinking the lettuce, tomato, cucumber, kohlrabi and fennel will make some fantastic salads. Kohlrabi also makes an excellent dipping vegetable for hummus. Swiss chard is highly nutritious and can be used much like fresh spinach. I admit this is not one of my favorite veggies, so I may end up juicing the chard. We’ll see. Eggplant is delicious grilled, but a grill is probably the only kitchen appliance we don’t own. So, I will probably roast it in the oven. I’m not sure about the rest yet, but my plan is formulating. More tomorrow!
