CSA delivery 6/2/2008
More green stuff. In the boxes this week:
green onions (scallions)
radishes
sorrel
mint
sweet marjoram (winter-hardy oregano)
pea shoots
Mint and sweet marjoram can be used fresh or dried. Quite a few of you
mentioned mojitos and mint juleps. . . nice ;) I'll keep that in mind
for future CSA deliveries. Please keep the feedback coming, it gives
me direction for how to put these orders together.
recipe ideas:
sorrel: This is a common European vegetable. Here in the States it's
used as an herb. It's like a lemony spinach. Great in potato soup, egg
or fish dishes. Here's a blog that mentions it:

pea shoots: delish thrown in salads. Also it's great in a quick stir-
fry with garlic, ginger, and soy. Taste like peas, even the tendrils!
Lots of nutrients in this one.
sweet marjoram: use it fresh or let it dry for later use. It's great
for all sorts of meats and egg dishes. Also great as an herb vinegar
or herb butter. Here's a link: http://www.superbherbs.net/Sweetmarjoram.htm
