The produce in the share is getting more diverse as the weeks go on! This week’s recipes use minimal additional ingredients other than what’s in the share and common cooking staples. The roasted vegetable recipe is a delicious way to incorporate all the vegetables. The kohlrabi is sweet and crisp, and gets even sweeter when roasted. Kohlrabi, just like turnips, broccoli, and other members of the brassica family, tastes the sweetest closest to the date it was harvested because bitter-tasting compounds begin to form in the vegetables over time. Once again you have either a green zucchini, yellow zucchini, or yellow squash in the bag. The summer squash is used in a wonderful sautee recipe. This dish can be made into a meal by adding some sausage, either crumbled or links. The basil should be stored covered in plastic, so it doesn’t wilt, and on your countertop, or only briefly in your fridge since it doesn’t like cold temperatures. have a great week!
