Ingredient Spotlight: The First CSA Share of the Season!

Yesterday afternoon D and I walked down to the Newbold neighborhood to pick up our first CSA veggie half-share of the season. We opted to join up with the Lancaster Farm Fresh Cooperative CSA (Community Supported Agriculture), which offers certified organic produce from over 75 Lancaster County family farms. From now until October, we will get weekly boxes of produce. This week's box included:

1 Bag Loose Bagged Baby Mizuna - from Echo Valley Organics
1 Bunch Cooking Mizuna - from Hillside Organics
1 Bag Baby Bok Choy - from Green Valley Organics
1 Bunch Rhubarb - from Little Brook Organics
1 Bunch Scallions - from Railroad Organics
1 Package Whole White Mushrooms - from Mother Earth Organics

I've never heard of mizuna or cooked with bok choy before, so the cooking adventures are going to start early! We opted to use some of the baby mizuna as a topping on our bean tortillas last night and it added a nice flavor. It had a fresh, peppery flavor that tasted similar to arugula.
