CSA Week 7

This is a bit overdue, but here's a quick update from last week.

CSA shares look similar this week to last, and we'll add to that a nice succession of lettuce mix, parsley, and kale.

Some of you have been wondering, as this time of year begs: just what DO you do with big zucchini and pattypan?

Zucchini for breakfast?  New school/traditional remix.

How about the old breakfast classic, Toad in the Hole, with zucchini instead of bread?  This could also work well with smaller zukes if you slice them on the bias/diagonally.  Simply slice your zukes (or pattypan, for a fun flower shape), cut a hole out of the middle, and toss in a hot frying pan with oil/butter.  When the zuke is about half-cooked, crack an egg into the middle, let cook, flip, and presto!  I added chopped scallion and lots of salsa Lizano for kicks.

Other ideas for big zukes: grate and freeze for wintertime zucchini breads, cube and cook into seasoned lentils (thanks, Koala!), eat fresh with dip (think Turkish yogurt dip-- plain greek yogurt mixed with finely chopped garlic and fresh dill.  YUM.)  Zuke latkes, shoestring zukes marinated in balsamic vinagrette... Have at!
