Notes: Rhubarb!

Last week it was Spargel (asparagus), this week it is rhubarb. My spring dreams are coming true! Rhubarb is quite tart on its own so it is typically paired with strawberries and a lot of sugar for a sweet dessert. However, here in Wisconsin it will be another month before local strawberries are ready so this early rhubarb will be used in a relish to go over meatloaf in place of ketchup. I’m looking forward to trying it out. What is your favorite way to use rhubarb? Sweet or savory?

CSA Breakdown: For those of you also using Keewaydin Farms this spring, here is a breakdown of how I will use each piece of produce this week. You certainly don’t need to make the whole week’s worth! This is a jumping off point for you so that none of those awesome veggies go to waste. See the first CSA post from this season for details on how I structure the plans. 

Salad mix: tossed salad to serve with pizza
Green garlic: mashed potatoes, egg scramble
Green and red scallions: bok choy salad, quinoa salad, egg scramble
Radish: quinoa salad, the greens will be used in place of spinach in the meatloaf (yes I put greens in my meatloaf – sneaky!)
Potatoes: mashed with olive oil and then add finely chopped green garlic and season with salt/pepper; you could also use in stone soup. I already have a batch of soup in my freezer so I’m not making it this week, but a lot of the ingredients can be substituted with CSA produce
Rhubarb: relish to top the meatloaf. I’m trying this out and will add the recipe if it is tasty
Mizuna: Chop and add into the bok choi salad
Cilantro: vinaigrette to dress lentils
Bok choy: bok choi salad with peanuts and sesame dressing. I like to grill some grass fed steak and slice it to put on top
Swiss chard: chopped and added to egg scramble. Cook until leaves are just wilted. You can use the stems too!
