Recipes
GARLIC SCAPE AND ALMOND PESTO
This is great on pasta or as a spread on bread. I make a bunch and freeze it for winter.
Makes about 1 cup
10 garlic scapes, finely chopped
1/3 to 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan (to taste and texture)
1/3 cup slivered almonds (you could toast them lightly, if you’d like)
About 1/2 cup olive oil
Sea salt
Put the scapes, 1/3 cup of the cheese, almonds and half the olive oil in the bowl of a food processor. Whir to chop and blend all the ingredients and then add the remainder of the oil and, if you want, more cheese. If you like the texture, stop; if you’d like it a little thinner, add some more oil. Season with salt.
If you’re not going to use the pesto immediately, press a piece of plastic against the surface to keep it from oxidizing. The pesto can be stored in the refrigerator for a couple of days or packed airtight and frozen for a couple of months, by which time tomatoes should be at their juciest.
Market News
Hello!
We hope you all have an enjoyable Memorial Day Weekend. It has been just lovely out, perfect for time spent outside with family and friends. This certainly ushers in the first days of summer, with higher temps and very long days!
This transitional time between spring and summer brings on a big diversity of lovely produce. The lettuces and greens are still doing well, and we will be seeing more carrots, beets, and even the first cucumbers and cherry tomatoes in the coming weeks.
The flowers are bountiful this week, and we have a selection of bouquet sizes and prices for you to choose from. Don’t miss out on getting a bouquet or bunch of sunflowers for yourself or for a friend.
And of course we have John’s great strawberries! What a delicious crop it has been! Please remember to let us know if it looks like we have sold out before you were able to order some. You can tell us how many pints you would like in the comments section of your order, and most likely we can get them for you!
Thanks so much for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
John and Tallahassee
