From Bob:
I’ve been on the lookout for new chicken-on-the-bone recipes recently and stumbled upon this recipe for Portuguese Style Roasted Chicken. It was a great way to use up some of the CSA items I’ve been collecting lately: hot peppers, garlic and potatoes. The smell as it was roasting was fantastic and although I burnt the potatoes a bit it still came out very good.
I also found this useful page from the NY Times that features a bunch of different variations on booking bone-in chicken pieces.

Hope you are enjoying your shares this week! I made mine into this awesome Martha Stewart recipe that we do a lot. It used my potatoes from last week, both leeks, carrots from a few weeks ago, herbs and the chicken! It was delicious!

CSA Week 17
From Shana:
Roasted Beans
What to do with all these string beans? My kids prefer to eat them raw, which is fine by me, but I need a little more. I stumbled across a suggestion to roast them, which I hadn’t done before- and they were delicious! I even added some of the extra Lima beans and they were delicious and crispy! Here’s what I do:
- Toss beans in olive oil
- Liberally salt and add any seasoning (I add powdered ginger and some dried herbs from earlier in the season)
- Put in a hot oven, I do 425 and watch and take them out to turn them frequently. They should slightly browned and crispy
Enjoy!
