braising mix.
In this week's box, you'll find the start of some exciting summer vegetable bounty! We've harvested our first round of tomatoes, which to us symbolizes the heart of the summer. There's just a sample on your box this week - more tomatoes to come!
Braising Mix - An excellent, beautiful addition to stir-fry! The mix includes items such as Hon Tsai Tai, Komatsuna, Red Russian kale, Southern Giant and Red Giant mustards, and Tatsoi. Also great wilted as a bed for fish.
Cucumbers -
Cabbage
Romano Green Beans - Also known as Italian Green Beans, these are a little meatier than regular green beans.
Cippolini Onions - Small, flat Italian onions. Perfect for roasting whole in the oven or on the grill.

French Fingerling Potatoes - Silky-smooth, cranberry-red skin covers moist yellow flesh marbled with red, especially just under the skin. Fingerlings are ideal for roasting, particularly in the juices of other foods, and give cooks sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic variations on the potato theme. Also try parboiling and then grilling them, or use them in salads. Or simply dice and fry them and eat them as a snack food.
Chives - Add to your fingerling potatoes dish!
Broccoli - Thanks to our friends at the Learning Farm for this delicious broccoli! Stems are delicious too, peel and cook just like broccoli.
**EGGS NOTE: We have eggs! This week, our Lake Bluff and Grayslake CSA members will receive a dozen eggs with their share. Next week, Deerfield and Milwaukee CSA members will receive eggs. After next week, we'll have eggs for sale at our farmers markets in Lake Bluff and Deerfield.
Some other items that we hope you'll enjoy this week:
