Recipes

 Now that the season has started, you might be wondering "What is a garlic scape and what do I do with it?" Or maybe, "I need a new recipe for kale." A terrific collection of recipes can be found at the Mariquita Farms website. Mariquita Farms is a CSA in Watsonville, CA. Their recipe pages contain pictures, descriptions and some photo essays for a variety of vegetables and fruit. Try Roasted Garlic Scapes or Giant Crusty and Creamy White Beans with Greens using veggies from this week's share. Mariquita Farms Recipes |
