Week 19

After this week there are two more weeks of the CSA.  There will be collard greens, fennel, baby pink turnips, carrots, leeks and more winter squash to look forward to in the last two boxes.  

Delicata Squash - What's not to love about this squash.  It is a great size, easy to cut and among the sweetest squash out there.  The thin skin can be eaten.  We like to roast rings or half moon slices in a single layer on a cookie sheet but anyway you like to prepare squash will work.  

Napa Cabbage - Some of these will be quite large.  They do keep very well for something so tender.  One food blog I have really enjoyed cooking from this summer is Woks of Life.  I just pulled it up and searched napa and they have a handful of recipes if you feel like something different.  The only one I read was the one for Sichuan Napa and the story with the recipe was brief but interesting.  I have made at least a half dozen recipes and all have been well written and delicious.  My two favorites are probably the beef chow fun and the pad see ew.  They are very similar and the best part of both of them is the noodles.  I have been buying them at Hong Phat.  They are a fresh rice noodle right next to the check out.  They are easiest to work with the day you buy them.  They have the most amazing texture.  It is springy and chewy and tender and I can't get enough of them.  Napa is easy to use.  It is great both raw and cooked.
