I've been writing Facebook notes about my CSA and decided to do something a little more formal. Here it goes!
this week's pickup was stellar again. i scored:
a bunch of cilantro
2 pounds of heirloom tomatoes--i got some that look like the red version of green zebra plus some larger red ones
1/3 pound salad greens
3/4# tomatillos
a rutabaga (!)
2 pounds potatoes
a cantaloupe
2 summer squash
6 ears of corn
a head of cauliflower
a green pepper
3 amazing red Italian frying peppers
1 cuke
those frying peppers were incredible. i actually kept the seeds to try saving them for next year. they look similar to cubanelles but are intensely sweet. i used them tonight--i caramelized an onion from last week's pickup, adding the red pepper at the end along with a slivered huge clove of garlic i picked up at the farmer's market. i made a pizza on the grill, which i think i've not mastered to my liking (see more below) with sliced tomatoes, grilled chicken sausage, the sauteed peppers/onion and some fresh local mozzarella. we also had a salad with a cuke and more tomatoes.
the corn has been stellar--i actually had some friends over last weekend for dinner and had some of the csa corn and some other corn from a farm near work and kate traded her farm-near-work ear for a csa-ear! and we've been getting 6 ears a week for several weeks--we've been really lucky.
so my new pizza technique: i've been making the Easy Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough, which is SO EASY to roll out. I use half the dough for a pizza. I grill one side directly on the grate, then flip and top. I've been cooking the heck out of it on the second side, which makes it really nice and crispy and mottled. DELICIOUS!
