This is the final week of the CSA. I am not doing the winter share this year since it is basically a 7 week extension of the summer season and since 3 of those weeks are holidays I will not be around to use the food. I will miss it until June! The veggies ended with a bang, Brussels sprouts! The fish, not so much. The dreaded bluefish!
This week’s share:
1 bunch Red Radishes
1 head Broccoli
1 head Green Boston
1 stalk Brussels Sprouts
1 lb.Red Fingerling Potatoes
1 Arrowhead Cabbage
1 bunch Hakurei Turnips
2 pcs. Eggplant
Last week I used the monkfish to make a chowder. Oh my god, it was so good! They don’t call it a poor man’s lobster for nothing. I followed this recipe with a couple modifications. I left out the bacon, I used a hot pepper instead of the bell pepper and used chicken stock instead of fish stock. It was so good. The non-fish eater went back for seconds!
