More exciting news, I’m going to Belgium at the end of the week! I will be eating chocolate and waffles and drinking beer for the next week. Look for a recap once I return!
Now let’s get down to business. This week’s pickup was a perfect early Fall share. String beans and broccoli were two things I contemplated picking up at the farmers market but didn’t since I was going to be away I didn’t get any so I was very happy to see them. Plus 2 heads of lettuce and 2 hot peppers, great week!
This week’s share:
1 bunch Cilantro
1 bunch mixed Beets
1 head Broccoli
1 head Green Romaine
1 head Red Boston
2 Hot Chili Peppers
1 lb. String Beans
1 Acorn Squash
I whipped up a batch of corn soup using a whole bunch of CSA and farmers market veggies. I made it with a pint of cherry tomatoes which I ran through the food mill, 2 ears of corn, scallions, garlic and a chili pepper. I sautéed it all together, then added chicken stock and simmered for a bit. I pureed it, returned it to the heat and added a splash of cream and a handful of cilantro. The last corn soup I made as way too sweet for my tastes but this was just perfect. I ate 2 bowls for dinner.
