Last Day of June for CSA Pick-up

Posted on by

A veritable bounty of veggies picked up at Wolfe Spring Farm today. Also had the pleasure of showing our good friend Milly Robertson and her delightful boys around. We checked in on the piggies, chicks, chickens, 2 week old kid goats, and doggies.

I spent the last 3 hours chopping, sauteeing, roasting and prepping it all. Hubs nearly killed me when I turned on the oven since it’s a toasty 90 degree day.Will post later on what I prepared from the bounty below.

What do you do with Garlic Scapes?

Aside

We have picked up garlic scapes from our local CSA for the past few weeks and I know everybody says “use them just like garlic,” but I grew bored of our standard take on spaghetti all’aglio olio with garlic scapes in place of regular garlic. So I searched online and found a recipe for Scape Pesto. What can I say, but delish. Sooo addictive, and much more interesting than regular pesto. Basically, you use scapes in place of garlic, and you can use different types of nuts.

I used pistachios, which was also handy because I had some shelled pistachios on hand that had seen better days. The pesto was a “forgiving” way to use them. Check out the recipe I used on Epicurious. You can also use almonds, as in the recipe linked to in the first paragraph.
