This Week’s Box Featuring Eggplant from Ho Farms – Week of February 14

February 14, 2022 by Amy Buglione

Featured Item: Eggplant from Ho Farms

eggplant1

Eggplant is a species of nightshade grown for its edible fruit.

Preparation

Most eggplants can be eaten either with or without their skin. However, the larger ones and those that are white in color generally have tough skins that may not be palatable. To remove skin, you can peel it before cutting or if you are baking it, you can scoop out the flesh once it is cooked.

This Week’s Box Featuring Cabbage Farms Aloun Farms – Week of February 7

February 7, 2022 by Amy Buglione

Featured Item: Napa Cabbage from Aloun Farms

Napa cabbage is a type of Chinese cabbage originating near the Beijing region of China that is widely used in East Asian cuisine. Since the 20th century, it has also become a widespread crop in Europe, the Americas and Australia. In much of the world, it is referred to as “Chinese cabbage”

Napa cabbage can be eaten raw in salads. It has high water content and takes on a sweet and juicy flavor when cooked, picking up other flavors from the food it’s cooked with. Since it softens as well, it’s frequently added to stir-fries and soups in the last stages of cooking. 

Be sure to thoroughly rinse napa cabbage before preparing it. Allow it to drain in a colander. You will also want to remove the stem, cutting the bottom inch or so from the base of the plant. You can either cut the entire head in half lengthwise or leave it whole before chopping it into strips. Depending on how it’s to be used, another option is to pull off individual leaves, as you would green cabbage.

In addition to incorporating it into traditional Chinese recipes, you can also use napa cabbage to line a bamboo steamer. This will help prevent food from sticking to the bottom when cooking.

This Week’s Box Featuring Bok Choy from Ho Farms – Week of January 31

January 31, 2022 by Amy Buglione

Featured Item: Bok Choy from Ho Farms

Bok-choy

Bok Choy is a type of Chinese cabbage. Chinensis varieties do not form heads; instead, they have smooth, dark green leaf blades forming a cluster reminiscent of mustard or celery.  Bok Choy contains tons of Vitamin A and a strong amount of Vitamin C.  Actually, chinese cabbage was ranked second for nutrient density out of 41 “powerhouse” fruits and vegetables in a peer-reviewed US Center for Disease Control study.

Preparation

First, trim off the bottom of the stalk and discard. Wash the bok choy under cold water.  Dirt tends to collect toward the base of the stems so make sure you run water through that area.

Separate the leaves from the stems with a sharp knife, making two piles. Cut the stems into 1/2 inch pieces.  Since the leaves cook more quickly than the stems, you’ll want to stir-fry them first.  Add to any stir-fry – the stems will take about six minutes to cook and the leaves about three.

This Week’s Box Featuring Collard Greens – Week of January 17

January 18, 2022 by Amy Buglione

collard greens

Collards are very nutritious (high in vitamins K, A, and C, as well as calcium, iron and fiber) and have been linked to lowered cholesterol.

Preparation

Remove the stem from the bunch. Use your non-dominant hand to hold the leaves together. With your dominant hand, cut about 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the bottom of the stem, separating the leaves.

Soak the leaves in water. Add a little salt to the water. Salt is abrasive and helps in the process of scrubbing away dirt and impurities. Gently scrub the leaves with your hands and rinse.

Cut out the spine from each leaf. Lay each leaf out flat on the counter. Use a sharp knife to cut along the spine on each side, separating the leaf into two parts and completely removing the spine. Stack the leaves so the flat, cut sides all line up.

Roll the stack of leaves lengthwise. You may need to form several stacks to get tight rolls.

Cut the greens into ribbons. Slice each roll into 1 inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Separate the pieces with your fingers, letting them unravel into long strips.
