What to do with them? How to Store? Recipes below!
tomatoes - whatever you do, don't put tomatoes in the fridge!
(store at room temperature, ideally in a single layer, out of the sun. We've also found that storing them stem side down (yes upside down) makes them last longer, as their skin is very thin on the bottom)
zucchini - recipes below!
(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)
dill – delightful in this potato crust frittata
(store in the fridge in a glass with a bit of water in the bottom)
cilantro – if you're not going to use now, chop up and freeze for later.
(store in the fridge in a glass with a bit of water in the bottom)
basil – snip the tips and submerge them in a bit of water (a glass will work), leave on the counter.
carrots – you know the drill. Roast them, sauté them, juice them, cut them into sticks and dip into something tasty.
(Remove the carrot tops (they leach moisture from the roots) before storing them both in plastic bags in the fridge)
garlic – enjoy in your favourite recipes.
(store it in a warm-ish, dry, dark place for best results)
beans – beans are easily one of our most cherished vegetables. We suggest steaming or boiling them for a few minutes and finishing them off with a little butter.
(store in a plastic bag in the fridge)
cucumber – We like to roughly peel and slice our cucumbers and eat them with a sprinkle of salt. They’re also good marinated in a bit of white vinegar and water; quick pickles!
(store in the fridge in your crisper)
kale – see below for the best kale salad recipe EVER!
(store in the fridge in a plastic bag)
shishito pepper – usually quite mild but occasionally one will be spicy. We chop them up and add to our morning veggie scramble, or stir-fries. See below for a quick and easy blistered shishito appetizer recipe.
(store in the fridge)
beets –this chilled beet soup is amazing! so nourishing and refreshing.
(store in the fridge, remove tops from bottoms)
