Serving Suggestions:
- Every year I remind our members of the Ratatouille recipe from America’s Test Kitchen which is a quintessential CSA recipe. You’ll have just about everything you need this week (but use canned tomatoes, not the fresh!).
- We should see some hearty greens for a few more weeks. If you’re looking for a use for this weeks swiss chard, try this white pizza from NYT Cooking. I had never made a white pizza and I surprised just how good it was. I made a few swaps: CSA spinach for the kale, half & half for the cream, and a cast iron skillet for the sheet pan. It made for a great new way to use up some greens that wasn’t just a salad or sauteed.
