Last weekend was a bit crazy: good friends of ours got married and we had all sorts of things to do... all fun things, though! However, I did find time to pick up my week seven produce bag from the farmers market. In the bag I found: a HUGE kohlrabi (yes, HUGE... it was about three times as big as the others I've received), a bunch of beets, a bunch of green onions, a spring onion, a bag of red potatoes and the smallest, cutest carrots, ever!
Although I haven't done much with most of it (yeah, I've been putting it all off this week...), I did FINALLY find a new way to enjoy kohlrabi: I roasted it with small yukon gold potatoes and garlic cloves tossed in extra virgin olive oil, a little salt, and a lot more pepper. Set the oven for 450F and roast for 20 minutes, then stir the mixture and roast for another 20 or so minutes, stirring once or twice more. Perfect! I paired that with lemon and dill baked salmon... it was a fantastic meal!
Tonight I think I'll be making buffalo chicken with a crisp lettuce salad... very simple and flavorful. The guys from work taught me how to make buffalo sauce: it's just cayenne pepper sauce, a little butter, and a little whiskey that's been reduced to at least half. Yum!
The rest of the produce will be used in the next couple of days... pickled beets, cooked carrots, onions in the salad and roasted potatoes and kohlrabi again.
Sorry this is so short and to the point... I'm a little distracted today. I start my new job on Monday and am meeting with my mentor this afternoon.
Thanks for reading! Have a delicious day!
