Week 2 2012

Week 2  2012

May 14, 2012 and May 17, 2012

This week you will find the box looks pretty similar to last week’s box.  We hope that you are enjoying all the fresh greens and salads!  The other night I made “Pink Orzo” for dinner and it was a big hit; especially with Evaline.  She asked Adam and I if she could please have our beets to give her bowl a brighter pink hue.  The recipe is below.

This week’s box:

Romaine Lettuce

Bibb Lettuce

Arugula

Mustard

Purple Mustard

Beets

Beet Greens (red stem)

Oregano

Cilantro

Mint

Parsley

Enjoy!

Pink Orzo

Start by cooking 2 cups of orzo. 

Clean 2-3 beets and cut into thin slices then in half.

Add the beets to the orzo AFTER you have drained the water, but while it is still very hot.  This will allow the beets to soften and give the orzo a bright pink color.

In an different skillet sauté:

1 T cooking oil

½ red onion cook until glassy

salt to taste

Add 6-7 thinly cut mushrooms; cook until tender

Lastly, toss in 3 garlic scapes (chopped into tiny pieces) and a splash of tamari

Fill everyone’s bowl with orzo and top with the mushrooms.
