weeks four and five!

[photo: garlic scapes at play]

So, the boxes for weeks four and five arrived like this:

week 4: kale, baby pac choi, kohlrabi, greens (mustard or turnips), lettuce, green garlic, basil

week 5: fennel, cabbage, potatoes or broccoli, mizuna, baby swiss chard, garlic scapes

I'm really awful at following recipes, so here's what I made this up for the fennel (sorry, no photo—we consumed it on the quick):


Alliterative Fennel, or
Figgy Fennel with Feta and Fronds

prep:
slice 2 fennel plants (bulbs, stems, and fronds—reserving fronds for later)
slice 3-4 figs into small parts
crumble feta (to taste)
pick 8 basil leaves from backyard patio—chop into bits

cook:
sauté fennel bulb and stem in your favorite oil until texture shifts
add fig to coat it in oil and warm it to temperature of fennel
add fronds and basil mix in for even distribution (for a minute or so)
garnish with feta
