CSA: Week #6 Pickup
The week #6 CSA basket contained new goodies compared to previous weeks and a new vegetable for me. The basket held blueberries, spinach, broccoli, red spring onions, and rhubarb! Blueberries at last! I have never purchased or used rhubarb in a dish, so I am excited.
When I got home from basket pickup, I immediately googled rhubarb preparation. I have eaten rhubarb pie, but I wondered if it could be a savory dish. Most savory dish suggestions involved chutneys and jams. Most everything else leaned toward the sweeter end of the spectrum. We are celebrating Father’s Day for my father-in-law on Friday night, and now I am considering a strawberry rhubarb crumble or cobbler. I might go with the crumble since it is generally easier.
As for the broccoli, I am taking last week’s broccoli and this week’s broccoli and making a low-carb broccoli salad. I love broccoli salad, but all the sugar does not love me. I tracked down a recipe that cuts the sugar with a stevia substitute and adds some sesame oil for a different twist. I hope it turns out well.
We will devour the blueberries as snacks throughout the week, and I expect the spinach to make its way into salads and maybe a frittata. I will probably freeze part of the red spring onions and use the rest in various dishes.
It should be an exciting week!
