Share Notes
- Celeriac: Also known as celery root, it is a variety of celery grown for its edible bulbous root crown. Don’t be intimidated by this odd looking vegetable, because it’s delicious flavor and culinary flexility make it a favorite here on the farm. You can grate it up fresh to use in a slaw or remoulade, add it to a classic fall veggie roast, boil and mash it up with potatoes, slice thin and saute, or add it to just about any soup for a tasty result. For an additional bonus the bulbs include their tops this week, which are very similar to celery and can be used much the same way. The tops are know to have a stronger more intense flavor than celery, so make sure to taste first.
- Sweet Peppers: It’s been a great season for peppers, but at the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Enjoy these last colorful tastes of summer, while you enjoy the bright crisp autumn weather this week.
- Winter Squash: That’s right, it’s winter squash time, and this week you can do your Delicata dance. The Delicata in particular has relatively thin skin (so thin you can eat it, no peeling needed) and a creamy and nutty flavor making is great for baking and steaming. Delicata should keep for several weeks in a cool and dry part of the kitchen away from direct sunlight, although due to its thinner skin is known to not keep for quite as long as all the other thicker skinned winter squashes.
