What to do with them? How to Store? Recipes below!
garlic – we don't need to tell you who to use up this little gem.
(keep in a dark/dry place)
zucchini - we want to try these zucchini pickles
(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)
kale – have you tried our kale Rueben sandwich recipe yet?.
(store in the fridge)
carrots – this carrot salad recipe looks good.
(Remove the carrot tops (they leach moisture from the roots) before storing them both in plastic bags in the fridge)
cucumbers – so fresh and crisp! we enjoy them sliced with a little salt.
(store in the fridge)
basil – we're nearing the end of the basil season, enjoy with tomatoes while you can!
(tuck it into a glass with an inch of water and keep on the counter)
beans – beans beans beans! We love beans! you should really try pickling some!
(store in a bag in the fridge)
tomatoes – aren’t they gorgeous!? You should try out the tomato galette recipe below.
(store on the counter, never in the fridge)
peppers – one sweet and one hot.
(store in the fridge)
scallions – we want to try this pan fried tofu with scallion sauce
(store in the fridge once open)
ground cherries – definitely not a cherry, they don't have a pit! remove the papery husk and then pop the whole, orange-coloured fruit in your mouth. We think they have a tropical flavour.
(store on the counter and eat within a few days)
swiss chard - both the stems and leaves are edible! We like to chop and saute the steams for a few minutes (with garlic and or onion) before adding in the chopped leaves, saute a minute or two more. Sometimes we add a splash of jerk marinade, sometimes a squeeze of fresh lemon.
(store in a bag in the fridge)
