Tantre Farm Share, week 5

Bottom row: scallions, 2 quarts shelling peas, beets and greens, fava beans, Asian greens
Top row: 2 kinds of lettuce, parsley, a lone yellow zucchini, broccoli


This week's share seems a little small, but we're having beautiful cool weather for we humans so I guess that's the price we pay. It works out fine with me since we won't be here the whole week and I would have had to give away a bunch of stuff otherwise.

Menu plan
  • The fava beans and some of the peas will go into this recipe for sizzling halloumi to be served with good bread.
  • A salad with lettuce, beets, some more fresh peas, scallions, parsley, feta and walnuts will be my lunch for a couple of days.
  • Stir fry of Asian greens, yellow zucchini and scallions with a lot of ginger, served with rice and kim chi and maybe a fried egg.
  • Super basic broccoli this week: just steamed with butter. I'm hoping the girl-critter who eats broccoli will participate in its consumption.
