a salad made of rainbow chard, dinosaur kale, sorrel, arugula (and arugula blossoms!), green onions, and lettuces (yes, a lot of greens!) meshed well with blue cheese, dried apricots, and almonds. paired with grilled asparagus and grilled bread - clean, fresh flavors.
strawberries and rhubarb pulled from the garden made a refreshing tart. i cobbled together a couple different recipes to create it. and now i realize i didn't even get a picture of the finished tart...we ate it right up after this ridiculously large pan of paella. and by we i mean at least 14 people.
besides these lovely meals, we've been discovering new growth in the gargen. the first carrot, baby zucchini and delicate blossoms, sugar snap peas, and broccoli. we let one broccoli plant go to seed, but will see what to do with the stalks.
ate this little guy a few moments later. crisp. sweet. yum.
speaking of sweet and crisp...snap peas are coming along!
if you followed any of last season's zucchini posts, you might recall some of our squash getting to the size of a small child. we'll work on that this time around.
a lot going on for a little bud of broccoli. i'm guessing it will be worth it in flavor.
