things we got:
arugula
strawbs
swiss chard
two kinds of beets
lettuce
so lucky me, i have only ever used strawberries and lettuce in my life. and arugula once on a portabella burger i guess. so week number one of csa already requires some delicious new adventures.
the first thing that was born of this box was one of the fastest/healthiest/deliciousest/cheapest dinners ever to be created. this happens to be a completely blind attempt and a vaguely described recipe jeremy remembers having at a vaguely described uncle's house.
scrambled eggs and swiss chard.
ingredients
butter or olive oil
1 clove of garlic, minced
big handful of swiss chard
crushed red pepper
6 eggs (3 whole and 3 just whites), whisked with a fork
shredded cheese
directions
1. in a frying pan, saute the garlic in the oil for 30 seconds.
2. add the chard and a quick shake of red pepper. cook until the greens are wilted (about 3-5 minutes). my "cooking" involved stirring a bit, covering the pan for about a minute, then stirring some more.
3. add the egg mixture to the pan and cook just like making regular scrambled eggs. perhaps 2 minutes?
4. ploop onto plates and put some cheese on the top! also salt and peppa if you desire.
this was a good amount for two people. we used some cheddar and some gruyere, both of which were delicious choices.
oh and fun fact. swiss chard and beet greens are interchangeable!
