Hi all,

Another day, another CSA share! Nicky and I are hanging out in the kitchen writing in front of the fire this while every one else sleeps. We’ve tried some great new recipes lately that I’ve included here today – Hope you enjoy them!

Hard to believe, but the next share (February 10^th) will be our last! Enjoy those sweet, crunchy carrots while you can.

Thanks,

Christa, Mike, Lizzy and Nicky

Recipes

Roast Turnips

2 lbs. turnips

1 Tbsp. olive oil

Salt

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Trim and peel the turnips. Cut larger turnips into large-ish bite-size pieces. Put turnips into a baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Use your hands or two large spoons to toss the turnips to coat them thoroughly with the oil. Sprinkle with salt. Add pepper, dried rosemary, parsley or thyme (Optional)

    Roast turnips until tender and browned, start checking on them after about 30 minutes. Depending on the size and age of the turnips, it may take them up to an hour or more to get completely tender.

Clapshot with Bacon and Nutmeg

A flavorful, slightly spiced potato and turnip dish from North/Northeast Scotland. Perfect with roast meat, or double up the helpings and serve as a tasty supper.

    1 1/3 pounds potato, peeled and quartered

    2/3 pound turnips, cut into chunks

    3 tablespoons butter

    1/4 cup milk

    8 strips bacon, cooked and crumbled

    1 pinch ground nutmeg

    Salt and ground black pepper to taste

    Place the potatoes and turnips in a large saucepan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 20 minutes.

    Drain the potatoes and turnips, return them to the saucepan and mash until creamy. Add the butter and milk and beat until fluffy. Stir in the crumbled bacon and season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper.

1 ripe avacado, diced

1 Tsp finely chopped red onion (or yellow)

3 Tsp lemon juice

¼ cup hemp or flax seeds

3 Tsp chopped cilantro leaves

¼ tsp sea salt
