Culinarium CSA Week 3

Filed under: Foodicus and I — fongga @ 19:01 pm

I picked up my share friday as opposed to thursday, due to time conflicts.

LARGE share:
>Eggplant – 1 lrg / 2 sml pc- received 2 medium sized pieces.  I had to cut off the head of one piece as it was soft and mushy.
>Watermelon- no show
> 2 pc. Head lettuce- received one whole head of roman lettuce instead, lots of washing and drying.
> 1 qt. All blue potato
> 1 bunch beets, red, round-  1.5-2″ dia.  beet tops thin and many leaves not usable

>1 bunch green onion
> Tomato – 2 lrg / 4 sml.  – no show, received a green pepper
> 1 qt sunchokes- looks like ginger root.  should be interesting
> 1 pc. Hubbard squash- 1 piece sphagetti squash substitute

Oct 19 followup-  So I cooked the peppers, eggplant and the blue potatoes in a moussaka recipe from the Joy of Cooking.  The blue potatoes looked cool while I was prepping them, and they turned into a purple yam colour once cooked.  I also tried a piece of the sunchokes which was quite tasty, though subtle.  I’ll be using that with some cooked beets in a root salad for dinner this week while I’m at school.  M suggested it as a nice change from the usual sandwiches I end up eating. Below left is a cross section of the moussaka and the bottom right is a cross section of a blue potato.
