I definitely went over board this time. I must have been really hungry when I made this purchase, because in addition to ordering the harvest box, I also ordered quite a few other things:

CSA Harvest Box

  • baby lettuce mix – a bag of delicate lettuce leaves
  • spinach – one pound of crisp spinach leaves
  • lacinato kale – also called dinosaur or black kale
  • asparagus
  • radishes
  • scallions
  • strawberries

CSA A La Carte items

  • english cucumbers
  • sugar snap peas
  • yellow hothouse tomatoes
  • scallions (Oops. This was a mistake. I guess I should have looked more closely at the contents of the harvest box. Not sure what I’m going to do now with 2 bunches of scallions.)
  • red swiss chard
  • farm-grown shiitake mushrooms
  • strawberries (I knew the 1 quart that came with the harvest box would be gone in no time.)

asparagus

This is by far the easiest way to quickly cook asparagus. And, it just happens to be delicious too!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 lb. asparagus spears, ends broken off
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp cream balsamic vinegar
  • 1 pinch of sugar
  • Salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Rinse asparagus in water and pat dry.
  2. Heat oil in a non-stick large skillet over medium-high heat. Add asparagus, and saute for about 5 minutes.
  3. Add balsamic vinegar and sugar, saute for another 2-3 minutes, or until the asparagus are crisp-tender.
  4. Season with salt to taste.
