JuLY 9, 10 & 11
This week’s share consists of some specialty crops I wait all yr for…like escarole and fennel! Escarole seems loads like lettuce, nevertheless it’s not– and shouldn’t be eaten uncooked like lettuce (until you pair it nicely 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 in the event you do not, simply cook dinner it! Attempt certainly one of my favourite recipes under. Bon appetit!
Have a phenomenal week, buddies!
