All we do is harvest,so all you need to do is cook,eat, savor and enjoy! More Kettle chitter chatter some other time, here are some great recipes and resources, at this stage of the game, it is all about the veggies people!
Not in the mood for your kale right now? You definitely will be in December. Snatch up the freshness and put it away for a snowy day. Freeze your greens! Boil a big pot of water, chop up your greens, submerge them in boiling water for about 30 seconds, dump the whole pot into a colander and run the blanched greens under cold water. Squeeze out the excess moisture and toss them in a freezer bag. Check back in a few months and enjoy in soup or stir fries.
Don’t let an elaborate recipe slow you down,with a little bit of creativity (All greens are interchangeable and let’s face it, a shallot is really just an onion) and the willingness to try some thing new, you can make it all happen with the bounty of your CSA share!
These are just a few of the resources that I check in search of recipes. Nose around, try some recipes and report back. Any winners will be great newsletter material.
Now get cookin’ good lookin’!!

Roasted Tomato Salsa

5 large tomatoes, whole, not cored or cut in any way
1 hot pepper
2 cloves garlic, skin on
1/4 cup minced white onion
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 bunch cilantro
Make sure your kitchen is well ventilated. Put a piece of aluminum foil in a heavy sauté pan (preferably cast iron) and set it over medium-high heat. Place the whole tomatoes, chile, and garlic cloves in the pan and dry-roast them on all sides until well charred and soft. The garlic and chiles will be done quickly; the tomatoes may take 10 minutes or longer to cook.
Peel the garlic and stem the chile. Place the tomatoes, garlic, and chile in a food processor with the onion, salt, and cilantro. Pulse until the salsa is smooth and taste for seasoning. The salsa will keep, refrigerated, for several days. Reseason before use.
