Cooking & Storage Tips

Rhubarb is a sure sign of spring! It's actually a perennial vegetable, and its colorful stalks are super tart. If you don't have frozen or fresh berries, try making this rhubarb compote (recipe by Martha Stewart), which you can freeze, or serve over yogurt, ice cream or pancakes!
It's exciting to see the first spring radishes in this week's share. I like to serve them raw with butter and salt, but I also love to toss them with a little olive oil and salt, and roast them.
Also, there are some baby radish greens atop the radishes...you can eat those, too! They're a bit spicy, and I like them best wilted with other greens, but you can chop them and throw them into a salad, too.
Slicing cucumbers make a great snack as well. Slice into rounds, or into sticks, and sprinkle with a little salt.
As usual, the mesclun is the most perishable item you're receiving, so serve up some salads early in the week.
Collard greens are in the cabbage, broccoli, and kale family! These will be relatively tender, since they come from a greenhouse, so they're best lightly sauteed, or wilted as in our recipe below!
