Share Notes
- Escarole: A member of the chicory family, escarole is a broad-leaved endive with broad, pale green leaves that look similar to a leafy butter lettuce. Escarole can be eaten lightly cooked or raw in salads. The outer and darker green leaves have a stronger flavor that lend better to cooked dishes, and the inner and lighter green leaves have a more mild flavor great for fresh salads. A favorite and simple preparation is to sauté the leaves lightly (3-5 minutes) in bacon grease or butter and season with salt and pepper. It can also be added to soups like a hearty Italian white bean and escarole soup.
- Kohlrabi (giant): Get ready for this fall flavor delight, it has been a favorite among the farm crew this past week. The Kossak kohlrabi in your share this week is not only huge in size, but also also big in delicious flavor. With crisp, juicy, mildly sweet flesh it is really great raw. See the recipes from Katherine for some great ideas.
- Potatoes, Sangre: The potatoes in your share this week are Sangre, which have a deep red skin and white flesh. Their average size this year is large, so get ready for some big and delicious taters.
