Hellgate CSA Week 18

This week we still got what I think of as a summer-fall hybrid. Summer veggies like tomatoes, peppers, beans, and eggplant, then fall veggies like asian greens and beets, plus classic fall fruits like apples and pears. We also got some prune plums, which are beautiful. Well, everything is beautiful. We got:

1 pint mini tomatoes
1.5 small beets
1 pound green beans
.5 pounds eggplant
1 bunch asian greens
1.5 pounds sweet peppers
2 pounds pears
1 pound mutsu apples
1 pound yellow delicious apples

I also picked up a meat and dairy order – a mock tender (for braising!), a pound of ground beef, a pound of chorizo, some marrow bones, and a dozen eggs.

I went ahead and roasted the beets with thyme and garlic. They are in the fridge, and I think I’m going to chop them up and eat them with goat cheese and walnuts. The tomatoes will be snacks. I hope to make ajvar with the eggplant and peppers, too.

The apples have served as desserts, just raw. I want to make some sprouted wheat muffins with the pears. I can only imagine how tasty those pears will be in that recipe.

Happy eating!
