Week #2 of our CSA share contained Erbette chard, leeks, spigariello greens, winter squash, agretti, Chantenay carrots, fennel and radishes. Already we have made a yummy curry, using roasted winter squash, carrots, onions, and the spigariello greens. The greens are an heirloom Italian veggie, and are a relative of broccoli. Quite tasty, like a mild broccoli, with a really great texture and beautiful green. We’ll totally be able to use the chard and leeks. Agretti is like baby tumbleweed, and we’re game, so we’ll try some in a salad and some sautéed up with pasta. I think that I don’t like fennel, but I will roast some and try it. And, really, radishes are only good on spicy meat tacos.

We’re both really enjoying the mystery vegetable challenges, getting introduced to new veggies, and the ease with which healthy greens are getting incorporated into our diet. I love the little emails from the farm too.
