CSA Week 9

In our ninth CSA box we got: 1 head cabbage, 1 small head broccoli, 1 tomato, 1 green bell pepper, 2 conchos jalapeños, 1 small eggplant, 2 lb Red Norland potatoes, 2 fresh sweet onions, 1 bunch carrots, 2 lb zucchini, 3 patty pan squash, 1 zapalito squash, 2 cucumbers, 1.5 lb green beans, 2 heads green leaf lettuce, 1 bunch chard, 1 head garlic, 1 bunch curly parsley, 1 bunch basil

Isn't that a gorgeous spread?

Here's the plan:

Italian Pasta Salad (2 cups cooked macaroni, 3/4 cup chopped salami, 1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese like mozzarella, asiago, or blend, small head of broccoli chopped, 1 carrot chopped, learned handful of grape tomatoes quartered, 1/4-1/2 cup mayo, 1 Tbsp parsley chopped, to taste: garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper

Fried rice: 2 cups long grain rice, like Jasmine, cooked, 2 cups cooked and cubed Andouille sausage, 5 eggs, 2 carrots chopped, 1 bell pepper chopped, 1 sweet onion chopped , 3 cloves garlic minced, 1 jalapeño moved, 1 zapalito squash chopped, 3 scallions chopped, 1/2 bunch cilantro chopped, season liberally worth soy sauce, sesame oil, and Chile sauce (e.g. sriracha)

Garlic-parsley mashed potatoes, Parmesan-basil roasted green beans, baby back ribs

Chinese chicken salad with shredded chicken breast, shredded cabbage, scallions, pepitas, almonds, cilantro, jalapeño.  Similar to this, but doctored.  Poach the chicken in water seasoned with parsley, a few smashed garlic cloves, and salt

Pasta with chard, garlic, chevre; crab caught by Jeremy in the Puget Sound; grilled patty pan squash; side salad of lettuce, tomato, sweet onion, carrot

Zukanoush! I don't see the point of the chunks of zucchini on top, and I'll incorporate the eggplant in there too
