CSA Week Two!

Lettuce

Mesclun Greens

Chard

Kohlrabi

Sage 

Strawberries

8-Grain bread (I signed us up for a bread share and it is wicked expensive but I don’t care, because HOLY CRAP that’s good bread)

So far: Chicken with Sage Leaves, which I bastardized from a similar recipe for pork chops from Best of the Best.  I hardly ever use that book–I find it weirdly intimidating–but this actually came together pretty quickly and was, as a bonus, totally gorgeous. Basically you mash up some of the sage with some butter and cut little pockets in the chicken breasts to put it in. Then you brush some full leaves with olive oil and flour (it makes kind of a paste), stick them to the chicken, and fry the whole business up in some olive oil until it’s nice and brown. Finish in the oven. I think Tom was kind of impressed. 

We inhaled the strawberries again (well mostly I did), and I’m going to roast up the kohlrabi to go with some sammiches on the aforementioned ass-kicking bread. I’m also all over this recipe to use for the chard. 

Have I mentioned I love summer? Because I do.
