Squash

Red White Blue Potatoes

Fresh Onions

Red, white and blue potatoes, garlic scapes, and the combo of Thai basil and lemongrass are all part of your CSA share this week. Garlic scapes are the top shoot that would eventually turn into a flower. They are delicious stir fried, steamed or roasted. With the consistancy of an asparagus sprig, they can also be chopped and added to your favorite dishes. For a simple roast, toss the scapes in oil, salt and pepper, lay on a pan and roast at 350f for about 30 minutes.
