CSA Challenge: Met!

The CSA Challenge for this week has ended, and I’m please to say it’s also been met. Tonight’s meal was a grilled NY Strip with corn on the cob (not from the box), combined with a fresh vegetable medley of yellow beans, fennel, cauliflower, onion and garlic sauteed in Spicy V8 juice.

So here’s the tally for the week:

  • Yellow Beans
  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Minature White Cucumbers
  • Fresh Garlic
  • Fresh Cipollini
  • Salad Mix
  • Snow Peas
  • Yellow Summer Squash
  • Fennel
  • White Currants
  • Red Currants
  • Chard (left over from last week!)
  • Sautee Mix (left over from last week)
  • Italian Flat Leaf Parsley (left over from last week)
  • 1 Pint Strawberries (left over from last week)
  • Garlic scrapes

The fun and once again challenge part is that all of this starts again tomorrow, when I once again pick up my produce box.

    Irene - how were the veggies sauteed in V8? Is it something that you have done before? Any tips? Sounds intriguing — I have never tried it.

    Hi Jen,

    I make veggies in Spicy V8 juice all the time. It’s really pretty simple - instead of cooking the vegetables in olive oil or some other sort of oil, I throw them in a pan and add enough V8 juice to coat the bottom, plus a bit more. Then I just “sautee” as usual, adding more V8 juice as needed to keep the vegetables moist.

    I usually use this method for zucchini and summer squash because those vegetables absorb the liquid so well. But it works with any kind.
