Weekly Farm Challenge 5/31/12 - 6/7/12

We joined a CSA this summer and will now have a weekly challenge to use the ingredients from the farm.   (Recipes provided upon request).  We must pick something that we received and make a dish with it (edible or not).  This week we received:  strawberries, rhubarb, swiss chard, spring greens, bibb lettuce, leaf lettuce, spinach, pea shoots and parsley.  So, what did our creative girls come up with???

Grapes attempted and conquered rhubarb and strawberries to create a Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler

and it tasted as good as it looks!

Couscous had an excuse for indulging in garlic by preparing Swiss Chard with Garlic and Oregano

Good thing she lives alone - there was ALOT of garlic, but it was yummy!

Saucy also tried her hand at the intimidating tart rhubarb and the beautiful local strawberries to make this Almond, Strawberry, Rhubarb, Banana Bread!

Looks delicious - still waiting for the final tasting report!!
The verdict: "Different but good.  It was a tropical morning treat with all the fruit flavors!"

Stay tuned for next week to see what the farm's bounty brings us and what new and exciting dishes we create!
