Recipes of the week:
Greetings Members!
The crew has been very busy this week picking for our wholesale sales and moving the irrigation around the farm to keep everything growing and watered.
Here is a reminder of how to care for your organic broccoli you should soak it in a sink full of cool water and 1/2 cup of salt. (start with warm water until salt is dissolved). I also put a heavy pie plate on top with a filled water jug set in it, to hold the broccoli under the salted water. Leave it soaking for 15 minutes and when you remove it if there any inch worms they will be at the bottom of your sink and not in your broccoli dinner. Rinse well with cold water before storing in a plastic bag in the coldest part of your refrigerator. Some years they are more prevalent than other years, but we never know. I have been soaking mine for the last 2-3 weeks and have not found any yet this season. That also means Farmer Joe is keeping ahead of controlling any cabbage/broccoli pests with organic sprays. Then your Broccoli will keep for almost two weeks when properly stored.
We hope you have enjoyed our weekly recipes. We really like trying them and so far they have all been as much fun to make as they are to eat. I have used several web sites that are our favorites and I thought I would share those sites with you. I just list the ingredient/s that I am looking for and the site usually pops up a few recipes from which to choose.
epicurious.com, wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes, allrecipes.com, and here is another great web site put out by VT intervale food hub using many of the local vegetables we also use. http://www.intervalefoodhub.com/recipes
Have a fun time looking for new recipes and trying them too.
