Farm Updates:
This week we are featuring something referred to as “Rapini.” While similar to broccoli rabe, these tasty bolted flowers come from our Asian greens, Tatsoi and Mei Qing Choi (bok choi).
While plants that have gone to flower are usually considered more bitter and fibrous, these edible leaves, stems, and flowers are surprisingly mild, sweet-tasting, and have a great crunch! We owe these tasty treats to them having grown in a greenhouse instead of out in harsh weather. You can enjoy them just as you would broccoli rabe sautéed with garlic, roasted until crispy, or even blended into a fresh pesto with sesame and ginger.
Another fun addition this week that you don’t find very often is white sweet potatoes! Murasaki sweet potatoes from Sassafras Creek Organic Farm in Leonardtown, MD, have white flesh, reddish skins, and can be cooked just like traditional sweet potatoes. Their flavor and sweetness are about the same as the orange variety, but their texture is slightly drier, making them perfect for fritters, hash browns, or roasting to crispy perfection.
With winter coming to an end, we have been busy preparing our spring fields as we look ahead to the first day of the new season on March 20! It’s been a cold winter, and while it is bittersweet to be coming up on our last share, we do hope you can join us for our Main Season to see what each season at Clagett has to offer.
