18 Weeks of Crop Share - Week 3

Hey everybody!

So rather than just sharing what we got in our food box each week I've decided instead to share what we did with some of the items in our food box :)

The first and least complicated was lunch on Tuesday:
We had a somewhat traditional European meal of smoked havarti, spicy cherico and spelt bread (and some butter for the bread). The bread was from our food box but it was all delicious!!

Next I whipped up a Strawberry Mint Salad:

Check out the hyperlink above for ingredients and directions!

The next one was made by Alexandre, he put together a Kale soup of sorts. I'll do my best to describe each picture but to be honest my largest participation in this was chopping ingredients as they came and consuming the end product :D 


Fry the garlic and either oil or butter!

Add the onions to fry!

Cut the stem out of the kale and chop it up, toss it in the pot with the garlic, onion and butter.

Chop the tomatoes, garlic scales and green onion, while the kale cooks

Add the broth to the pot!
Add the tomatoes, garlic scapes and onion to the pot :) 

Not sure what was put in the blender... more to follow on this one! I'm certain there were white navy beans in there and some other kind of white beans... and their juices from the cans, maybe that's it? 

Pour the contents of the blender into the pot, mmmm needed a bigger pot since he doubled the recipe!

Last step: ENJOY! I think this is the recipe he used :) 

How do you try new things and incorporate them into your meals? What's your favourite recent new find?
