Featured Item: Cabbage from Aloun Farms
Cabbage is among the most versatile vegetables. It can be served raw as a crunchy coleslaw, braised on the stove and added to a stew, roasted in the oven, cooked in the slow cooker, grilled, sauteed, and even pickled into kimchi! It is low in calories and packed with healthy nutrients like fiber, Vitamin C, Calcium, and antioxidants.

This week’s plant based meal box:
A refreshingly tasty libation for those hot Hawaiian afternoons
The combination of lettuce, tomatoes, and cilantro in the Feb. 2-3 bag makes me think Mexican! So in that spirit, I’m posting a few Mexican- and South American-inspired dishes. Cucumbers make me think of refreshing summer drinks so a few of those recipes appear too. And remember, we are now selling locally raised beef from the Big Island.
Use your Green Growers tomatoes and Nalo Greens cilantro (and maybe some avocados left over from the Jan. 26-27 bag?)
4 servings, about 1 1/2 cups each
Active Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients
Preparation
Picadillo This is a Cuban recipe, not South American, but it’s a wonderful dish. Use your tomatoes in this one, serve with rice and black beans, and have the leftovers in a tortilla with some lettuce the next day!
Cucumber Sandwiches The pictures of these sandwiches are great and making me hungry….
Refreshing Cucumber Water An innovative way to use up some cucumber and it’s good for you!
Cucumber Cocktail…with rum Uses your cilantro too!
Cucumber Cocktail…with vodka If you have mint leftover from last week this one is perfect!
Tangelo Scones This recipe calls for 6 Tangelos so you may need to cut in half.
Chilled Cucumber, Basil, and Mint soup
Enjoy your bag and please let us know about your creations!
