Sweet 100 Cherry Tomatoes

What's in the Box 2013

Below is a list of what is planned to be in our shares for a given week. These are our best guess based on how the fields and crops are looking several days before harvest. Sometimes crops we've been counting on get destroyed by hail, or a heat wave can push a crop past its prime before we have a chance to pick it. Sometimes deer or gophers harvest more than their “share” and sometimes we just make a mistake in our estimation. If you see a 'mystery' item on the list, we don't mean that you'll be mystified by what it is, only that we are playing it safe because we're not sure if we'll have enough of a certain item for everyone, and want to keep our options open about the substitutions we'll make. We figure that it's better to surprise people than disappoint them. And if we're unable to put one item in the box, we will fill that slot with something else. Think of the 'what's in the box list' as a guide, but be prepared for small surprises, and trust that we'll do our best to give you the best we can coax from Mother Nature. -Andy

Summer Squash with Basil

Aunt Joan's Zucchini, as remembered by Julia

1.5 pounds summer squash, mixed or all one variety
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tablespoons olive oil
some chopped fresh basil
grated fresh parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

Thinly slice the summer squash. Heat oil over
moderate heat in medium-large frying pan. Add the
minced garlic, and let cook for just a few seconds,
don't let it brown. Then add the squash, spreading out
in the pan so it can all cook evenly. Once the first
layer is browned up a bit, stir it around the pan, letting
the still-uncooked squash hit the oil below for a little
browning. You can add a bit more oil at this point if
you like. Add some salt and pepper to taste. Once it's
all cooked (7-12 minutes), remove to a serving dish
and top with the fresh chopped basil and the
parmesan. Serves 3-4

Carrots

Carrot Yogurt Soup
adapted from Sunset’s Make-Ahead Cookbook

2 T cooking oil
1 large leek or onion, chopped (leek should be cut in
half, cleaned and then white and light green parts
chopped. The dark green parts can be tossed or used
to make stock.)
1 garlic clove or 1 stalk green garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon each curry powder and flour
3 cups stock: chicken or vegetable
3 large or 6 medium carrots, scrubbed and sliced,
(peeled if you like)
1 cup plain yogurt
cayenne pepper, ground
1/3 cup chopped, toasted salted peanuts

Heat oil in 3-4 quart pan over med. heat. When oil is
hot, add onion, then garlic, stirring, until onion is soft.
(About 10 minutes). Add curry powder and flour;
continue to cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add
broth and carrots. Cover and simmer until carrots are
tender when pierced (15 to 20 minutes)

Blend with immersion blender, food processor or
regular blender with 3/4 cup of the yogurt until
pureed. Season to taste with S and P and cayenne
(use sparingly!). Let cool; cover and refrigerate for up
to 1 day or freeze for up for 4 months.) Thaw
overnight or defrost in microwave.

To serve: Serve at room temperature or hot. Garnish
with peanuts, yogurt, and if you like carrot curls you
can make by using a vegetable peeler and ‘peeling’
long carrot curls from a carrot. Put these curls in a
small bowl of ice water to help them stay curly and
crunchy before you serve them in the soup.

and pepper, with 1/2 cup olive oil in blender.) Gently
mix all ingredients. Serve. (The avocado is optional
but delicious)

Japanese Pickling Melon

Japanese Pickling Melons

Andy: "They're like really big cucumbers."

Kitazawa Seed Company: "As its name suggests,
this family of melons is ideal for pickling, and that is
the most common method of preparation in Asia.
Considerably larger than Western cucumbers, young
melons can be eaten raw or added to a salad as you
would a cucumber. More typically, they can be
baked stuffed with beef, pork, chicken or vegetables.
Pickling melons also make a tasty vegetable in their
own right alongside seafood or in a stir-fry.

Salt-Pickled Vegetables
(From Japanese Vegetable Cooking by Lesley
Downer)

Simple salt pickling consists of layering raw
begetables with salt to make a crisp and pungent
pickle. Any firm vegetable may be pickled in this way.
Use pure sea salt or rock salt for the best flavor.

4 pickling cucumbers
1 to 2 tablespoons salt

Wash and trim the vegetables. Halve the cucumbers
lengthwise and scrape out the seeds; cut into 1/2-inch
lengths. Pat the vegetables with paper towels to dry.

Rub the salt into the vegetables. Put them into a
ceramic bowl and cover with a plate to fit neatly
inside the bowl on top of the pickles. Set a weight
such as a jar of water on the plate.

Leave the bowl in a cool, dark place for 3 to 4 days;
the brine will quickly rise above the level of the
vegetables.

To serve, remove a small amount of pickled
vegetable; rinse and gently squeeze, then cut into bite-
size pieces. Serve in very small quantities with rice.
The remaining pickles will keep in a cool place for 2
to 3 months in the brine.

Potatoes and Root Vegetables
by John Midgley

3 medium carrots
4 tablespoons peanut or safflower oil

1-2 fresh chili peppers, sliced, optional
salt
4 tablespoons oyster sauce (optional)
3 teaspoons sesame oil & soy sauce, each

large heavy skillet; when it begins to smoke, toss in
garlic and ginger. Stir once then add kohlrabi and
carrots; toss and cook 2 minutes. Add green onions
and chilies; stir-fry 1 minute, then pour in ½ cup
water. Cover, reduce heat and cook 5 minutes.
Remove cover and toss in a little salt and the sesame
and soy, and oyster if using. Serve with rice.

Collard Greens

Sauteed Collard Greens
Gourmet, December 1998

Some people favor collard greens boiled until they
are meltingly tender, while others prefer them to
retain some bite. This recipe satisfies the taste of the
latter group.

2 1/2 lbs.
2 cloves
1 tbsp.
1 tbsp.
1 tsp.
collard greens
garlic
unsalted butter
olive oil
fresh lemon juice, or to taste

Remove and discard stems and center ribs of collard
greens. Cut leaves into 1-inch pieces. In a kettle of
boiling water cook collards 15 minutes and drain in a
colander, pressing out excess liquid with back of a
wooden spoon.

Mince garlic. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat butter
and oil over moderately high heat until foam subsides
and stir in garlic, collards, and salt and pepper to
taste. SautŽ collard mixture, stirring, until heated
through, about 5 minutes.

Drizzle collards with lemon juice and toss well.
Serves 4

Okame Spinach

Sesame Spinach with Ginger and Garlic
Gourmet September 1997

1 garlic clove
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon grated peeled fresh gingerroot
1 bunch trimmed fresh spinach

Mince garlic and in a small dry skillet toast sesame
seeds over moderate heat, stirring, until golden. In a
heavy 6-quart kettle heat oil over moderate heat until
hot but not smoking and cook garlic and gingerroot,
stirring, 30 seconds, or until fragrant and golden.

Add spinach by handfuls, stirring, and cook until just
wilted. Serve spinach sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Fava Beans with toy truck

Our Favorite Fava Beans from Julia and Andy

2 pound favas, taken out of the pods
1-4 cloves of garlic, chopped AND/OR:
1/2 cup onions, chopped
olive oil

S & P The simplest version: sauté the favas with the garlic in the heated oil. the shells will come off in the
pan, they are a lighter green, and the whole thing can
be eaten like that. (Season with S & P)

Version #2: Put the light green favas (that have been
removed from the pod) into boiling water for 1-2
minutes. Remove immediately, rinse in cold water.
Take the outer shell off each fava bean, so that you
have just the bright emerald green bean. Then cook
just the inner brighter green beans in the heated oil
with the garlic for 2-3 minutes, then eat. We like both
versions, and which one we do depends on if we
have guests or willing children to help in the extra
step of Version #2.

Sugar Snap Peas

Snap Pea Salad with Miso Dressing
The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook
Serves 4-6

Table salt for the pot
½ pound sugar snap peas, untrimmed
½ pound Napa cabbage, in thin ribbons (about 3
cups)
4 ounces radishes (4 medium-large) julienned, or
quartered and thinly sliced
3 large scallions (about ½ bundle), white and
green parts only, thinly sliced on bias
3 tbsp. sesame seeds, well toasted (300-degree
oven for 5 to 8 minutes)

Sesame-Miso Dressing
1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 large garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp. mild yellow or white miso, plus up to 1
tbsp. more
2 tbsp. sesame seed paste or tahini
1 tbsp. honey
¼ cup rice vinegar
2 tbsp. toasted sesame oil
2 tbsp. vegetable or olive oil

Blanch sugar snap peas:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, and
prepare a small ice-water bath. Boil the sugar
snaps for about 2 minutes, or until just barely
cooked but still crisp. Scoop them out with a
large slotted spoon, and drop them in the ice-
water bath. Once they’re cool, drain and pat dry.
Tim ends and cut sugar snaps on bias into thin
slices. Toss in large bowl with cabbage radishes,
scallions, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Make the dressing:
Whirl all ingredients, using the smaller amount of
miso, in a blender until smooth. Taste and adjust
the ingredients – use the extra tablespoon of miso
if desired. Don’t fret if it is a tad salty, and try to
resist the urge to compensate with extra honey.
The sugar snaps have a mellow sweetness to
them that balances well with a saltier-than-normal
dressign.

Assemble the salad:
Toss salad with half of dressing, and taste. Use
more if you desire. Sprinkle with remaining
sesame seeds.

Escarole

Julia’s Escarole Sausage Dinner Soup

up to a pound of sausage of just about any kind
(half a pound, even a quarter pound is fine for the
flavor, you could also use 2-4 slices bacon here,
and of course this is easily skipped for a vegetarian
version.)

1-2 onions or leeks cleaned and diced
2-6 garlic cloves minced or roughly chopped
1-2 cups cooked beans (white, pinto, garbanzo....
yes, it’s fine to use a can of beans!)
1 can diced tomatoes (about 2 cups or 15 oz.)
2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
Parmesan rind, if available
2-5 cups cleaned chopped escarole or other
cooking green such as chard, dandelions, kale,
spinach...

lots, then remove the sausage for just a bit. Add
the onions to brown in the sausage drippings and
cook until transluscent then add the garlic and cook
for a few seconds more. Then quickly add the beans
and tomatoes and broth and parm. rind. Add the
sausage back and bring the pot to a low boil. Then
add the cooking greens and cook through. (3-4
minutes for escarole, less for young spinach, more
for kale or collards....) Serve.

Wild Arugula

Arugula, Watermelon Radish, and
Sauteed Mushroom Salad

2 large bunches of arugula, coarse stems discarded

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
fresh lemon juice from one large or two small lemons
Parmesan curls made with a vegetable peeler
S & P

Brussels Sprouts

Brussels Sprouts Salad
(Heidi Swanson, 101 Cookbooks)

Shredding the sprouts on a mandoline gives them a
wispiness that is harder to achieve with a knife.

1 1/2 pound brussels sprouts, freshest you can find
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 - 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1/3 cup fresh chives, minced
2-3 big pinches of salt
1 1/3 cups hazelnuts, smashed just a bit and toasted
2 ounces hard, salty, aged cheese, shaved (pecorino,
dry aged jack, Parmesan, etc)

Shred the brussels sprouts whisper thin using a
mandoline, or alternately, a knife. Five minutes before
serving, place the shredded sprouts in a large mixing
bowl and toss gently with the olive oil, lemon juice,
thyme, chives, salt, and hazelnuts. Taste and adjust the
seasoning, adding more lemon juice if needed, keeping
in mind the cheese will bring a salty element to the
salad. Add the cheese and toss once or twice to
distribute it evenly throughout the salad. Serves 4 - 6.

Young Leeks

Aromatic Leek and Potato Soup
from Almost Vegetarian by Diana Shaw

4 large boiling potatoes, peeled and quartered
2 large leeks, cut in half, cleaned, and sliced into long,
thin strips
4 cups (1 quart) water
1 cup buttermilk, or 1 cup low fat or nonfat plain
yogurt, whisked until light and thin

Garnish:
S & P to taste
1 cup minced fresh herbs: parsley, chives, cilantro,
chervil, dill, or a mixture

In a large saucepan, combine the potatoes, leeks, and
water. Bring to a boil over med-high heat, cover, and
turn the heat down to med-low. Simmer until the
potatoes are tender enough to cut with a spoon, and
the leeks are equally soft. This should take about 40
minutes. In a blender or food processor (or julia’s
favorite: with an immersion blender!), puree the
vegetables in the cooking water, doing this in batches
if necessary, then return to the saucepan if you’re not
using an immersion blender. Add the buttermilk or
yogurt, and heat hte soup slowly over low heat,
uncovered, until just warmed through. Season with S
& P, and serve warm, sprinkled with the fresh herbs.
Or, chill the soup, covered, and serve it cold. Serves
4. Per serving: 260 calories using non fat yogurt, fat .7
