Could anything be so delicious? I think not! Today we recieved the first delivery of this summer's bounty. We belong to a CSA - Community Shares Agriculture. It's a convenient way of getting organic produce while supporting local farmers. The best part of it is, the produce is better than anything you can buy in the store because it is mostly harvested the morning it is delivered. My box today was filled with ramaine lettuce, leafy green lettuce, cilantro...
...that I will dry and store away for winter. Granted, nothing beats fresh herbs but I'd end up using dried in the winter anyway so I might as well feel confident in knowing the dried herbs I'm using are organic. ...succulent, ripe strawberries, potted thyme, bok choy...
...which I cooked tonight in our chicken and broccoli stir fry. Bok choy is a Chinese celery so you can pretty much use it in any of your recipes that call for celery and it tastes wonderful and crunchy. ...and zucchini!
I cannot wait to cook it up and eat it. My favorite way to eat zucchini is very simple. I slice it up into rounds and place it in a baker in the oven with pats of butter all over it, salt, pepper and garlic. Actually it tastes great without the garlic too. I cover it and bake it at 350 until the rest of my dinner is cooked. LOL I just realized I never paid attention to how long I cook it. I like it soft so I guess about a half hour - 45 minutes would do it since that's about how long it takes for dinner to usually be done. But I'd check it if I were you and see if it is cooked to YOUR liking. |
