The kids and I picked up our bi-weekly King’s Hill Farm box today and I was delighted to see that I had a second bonus box to cart away.
This more slender one was filled with a colorful mix of heirlooms, or as Future Farmgirl calls them, “fancy tomatoes.”
Fancy indeed. And delicious. I chopped a couple right up, mixed them with the last of my torpedo onion, and a fresh red bell pepper. I sprinkled the mix with sea salt, drizzled some olive oil and splashed a bit of garlic infused balsamic vinegar on top. I let that sit for a few minutes, then served up a bowl with goat cheese. That hit the spot.
I can’t wait to dig into the rest of our CSA box this week. I already tossed some whole jalepenos in the freezer. No way I’ll be able to use up all 8 or so that made it into this week’s box.
We’ll see if I can find a good way to use those purple potatoes too. Those beauties are too colorful to peel.
Looks like I’ll have to try my hand at eggplant and maybe come up with a celeriac soup. I’ve still not had much luck cooking eggplant, so I’m a little intimidated.
But I was delighted to see the beets, complete with greens. That is definitely on tomorrow’s menu.
