So, I am in a food sort of mood - some of you may know this state as "hunger" - and recently, I've been ~inspired. By VEGGIES. Big T and I have been LOVING our farm share (I say this every time, but BEST. WEDDING GIFT. EVER. ♥___♥) and through it, we've done new things! New things with veggies!
We've already made bok choy (it was just like in a restaurant - DELICIOUS AND PERFECT; I'm still wicked proud of that), roasted beets and radishes (the result was alarmingly-colored, ngl), made fresh PESTO (D E L I C I O U S), as well as zucchini/summer squash/kousa ribbons (SO. GOOD. Holy crap) and sauteed arugula and spinach. Also, we've started putting garlic scapes into EVERY! SINGLE! DISH! (Garlic scapes are my new love. We are kind of obsessed. It's awesome.)
But - I want more ideas! And advice! What do YOU guys make with veggies? I'm a pretty decent cook, but I'm not, like, super-creative, and I'm looking for input. The veggies we've been getting so far have been: hakurei turnips (they are tiny turnips! SO CUTE!), arugula, spinach, MINT (what do you do with mint! HELP!), bok choy, radishes (we need help with those; I've always hated eating those things raw), beets, various lettuces, CHARD (SO EXCITED; HELP!), and, you know. Garlic scapes.
A lot of garlic scapes.
So, give me your recipes! Veggie recipes! Anything at all, we will take it. We are having an AWESOME VEGGIE SUMMER. We just need a few recipes to spice things up and move them along.
SHARE! WHILE MY STOMACH CONSUMES ITSELF B/C LUNCH TIME IS ALMOST HERE, BUT NOT HERE YET. *growls*
