CSA Farm Share 2015: Week 6

So much! I made a big batch of squash-potato latkes. Arugula pesto. A lot of basil pesto, because all that basil I got added up to a pound of leaves after trimming. Whoa. Also been using the grilled garlic scapes in hummus, mostly eaten with cucumber spears. Giant batch of marinated kale because that all was a lot of kale. I now have a crapton of onions so I think a big batch of caramelized onions to freeze is in order. (The pestos and leftover latkes are already frozen. The hummus doesn’t last long enough to freeze.)

Week 6

  • 2 lbs Fava Beans
  • 4 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes
  • 6 large Onions
  • 6 assorted Summer Squash (Zucchini, Cousa, and Yellow)
