July 13th & 14th Produce

July 11, 2011 by Oahu Fresh 1 Comment

This week’s bag has a great new fruit in it:  lilikoi!  We are happy to have some of Kamaaina Land’s wonderful lilikoi for you this week, along with hydroponic lettuce, tomatoes, tatsoi, corn, and green onions.

Lilikoi, also known as passionfruit, is a tropical fruit found in many backyards in Hawaii.  There are many ways to incorporate lilikoi into your desserts, smoothies, cakes, or just by itself!  If you are not familiar with lilikoi, please take a look at this link for some background and ideas on how to eat it!

Lilikoi Butter from Lavalily…this looks like a really good blog.  Just discovered it, but I am sure to be back often!

Grilled Halibut with Tatsoi and Spicy Thai Chiles

Heirloom Tomato Salad with Goat Cheese Crumbles

A little bit about arugula… from Star Advertiser

Enjoying the recipes we post?  Let us know what you think and what you would like to see!

July 5, 2011 by Oahu Fresh Leave a Comment

July 4th greetings Oahu Fresh members!  Hope you had a wonderful holiday.  As summer progresses, more and more wonderful veggies are coming to us from our busy farmers.  This week’s bag is stellar:  lettuce, cherry tomatoes, eggplant, haricot verts, baby arugula, and bananas!  Here are a few ideas if you need inspiration.

Baby Arugula salad with mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, and chicken bonus:  at the bottom of this post, you will find several more links for arugula recipes!

Haricots verts with frisee and bacon You could search for frisee as called for in this recipe, or you could mix some of your hydroponic lettuce and baby arugula instead!

Haricots verts a la dijonnaise a simple salad with herbs, hard boiled egg yolk, and cucumber.

Jersey pizza with roasted garlic and arugula This recipe calls for making your own dough…not hard, but you could easily use a prepared crust or french bread.

Prosciutto and Fontina Panini with Arugula Pesto You could add a little lettuce and cherry tomatoes to this and one of the haricots verts salads on the side…& voila, you’re done!!

Stir fry eggplant and basil an easy recipe!

Ratatouille

June 29th and 30th Produce & Recipes

June 28, 2011 by Oahu Fresh Leave a Comment

Aloha Oahu Fresh Members!  This week we will feature a bag filled with nutritious locally grown lettuce, braising greens, tomatoes, long beans, Ewa onions OR eggplant, and papaya.  Below find inspiration for cooking some of the items that will be in your bag this week!

Braising Greens with Soy and Garlic

Spicy Shrimp with Ginger Garlic Long Beans This recipe is not difficult and the reviews are very positive.  Add a few halved cherry tomatoes for color and extra flavor and make some rice on the side!

Cherry Tomato and Tofu Salad Super simple…this recipe has only one step, which is to make the vinaigrette.  If you don’t care for tofu, substitute mozzarella, or for more protein, serve the salad with tilapia, shrimp, or salmon.

Lettuce and Tarragon Soup Similar to watercress soup, this is a wonderful new recipe to try.

Don’t forget to send us your creations or ideas for combining your Oahu Fresh veggies!

June 15th & 16th bag items and recipes…

June 13, 2011 by Oahu Fresh Leave a Comment

Aloha Oahu Fresh members!  Mushrooms return to your bag this week thanks to Fung Yang of Small Kine Farm.  We’ll also feature braising greens from Nalo Farms, cucumbers and tomatoes from Ho Farms, wonderful hydroponic lettuce from Maunawili Greens, and Pit Farms corn.  Some ideas on how to use your  produce are listed below.  Please let us know how you like to prepare your Oahu Fresh veggies–we’d love to post your recipes on our site or in our newsletter!  Bon Apetit!

Braised greens with mushrooms This recipe uses shiitake mushrooms but any would be good.  If you like to try the fennel as well, you can often find locally grown fennel at Whole Foods Market.

Chicken, mushrooms, and tomatoes with Port Wine!   Wow…this looks great!! and it’s easy to cook…

Cucumber Yogurt Salad a wonderful addition to chicken wings or any other hot/spicy food.

Caesar Salad Homemade caesar salad tastes better than anything that comes bottle, so when you have a little time, try this recipe using your hydroponic lettuce.  It doesn’t have to be romaine!
