JuLY 9, 10 & 11
This week’s share contains some specialty crops I wait all yr for…like escarole and fennel! Escarole seems lots like lettuce, nevertheless it’s not– and shouldn’t be eaten uncooked like lettuce (until you pair it properly with a particular dressing) as a result of it has a barely bitter taste. Prepare dinner it and the bitterness disappears! Similar for the fennel. I occur to like its licorice-like taste, however should you do not, simply prepare dinner it! Strive one among my favourite recipes beneath. Bon appetit!
Have a wonderful week, buddies!
