I just got my first CSA package and I am so excited!
CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture, and each Tuesday between now and mid December, I will pick up a selection of produce, which comes from a local farm.
Today’s bounty was pretty straightforward:
6 potatoes
6 onions
4 ears of corn
1 head of lettuce
2 pounds of plum tomatoes
16 heirloom cherry tomatoes
1 bunch of lemongrass
Hmmm. Lemongrass. There is the challenge I have been hoping for!
When I signed up for this program last spring, my goals were to support a local farm, always have fresh produce on hand, and to expand my horizons by having to experiment with a vegetable or fruit I was not used to using.
I am going to spend a little quality time with my Asian-fusion cookbooks, and will share my recipe(s) using lemongrass with you shortly.
