May 23, 2021 Hooray for Spring Veggies! By Linda Dansbury
Pea plants are starting to flower which means tasty sweet pods aren't far away.
What a delicious start to the season! Here are a few things we enjoyed this week:
Green garlic, turnips, kale - made the Kale Rice Bowl- one of my staples for weeknight eating. A note on the ground pork that goes in it: the flavor of the dish is so much better when flavorful local pork is used. We added a new twist this time - we cut a few turnips into matchsticks and added them just as the meat was browned - resulted in a very nice crunch.
Radishes, turnips - made a dip I found a couple of years ago: Radishes with Goat Cheese Dip - it calls for a food processor, but you really don't need one and I use Greek Yogurt instead of the sour cream. This dip is great with all sorts of veggies, so try it for your Memorial Day cookout as a yummy appetizer.
