Garlic Scape, Radish and Chicken Stir-Fry

Red Hook CSA member Stacy Cowley’s “Operation Veggie Decimation” blog probably struck a chord with many of us who have been vaguely alarmed by the increasing amount of vegetables in our fridges. As I scanned the internet for ways to use my garlic scapes last week, I found a chicken stir-fry recipe that called for scapes and radishes, as well as optional snow peas or sugar snap peas.

Since I still had both types of peas from previous CSA shares, this recipe from Fresh Earth Farms was the winner for a weekend dinner. Though cracking open a beer at 11 am as I peered into the vegetable crisper caused a few raised eyebrows, I assured everyone that the beer was for marinating the chicken. After all, the vegetable bounty hasn’t driven me to morning drinking…yet. –Josie Rubio

Ceviche Salad

It seems like it has been a long time coming, and then finally, our first CSA share. And what a bountiful selection it turned out to be.

I took an early trip to Prospect Park to supplement what I knew we wouldn’t be receiving in order to push along a theme I had been working on: Strawberry Radish Scallop Ceviche.

This dish pushed my efforts to the next level; the results, along with the wine pairing, turned out to be extraordinary.

There is sweetness in the peas and the scallops, spice in the radishes, garlic scapes and jalapenos, crunch in the lettuce, peas and radishes, fruitiness in the strawberries and the limes. Like our first CSA share – lots of things going on. - by Jason Adams
