First CSA veggies of the season

[geekchick]

Here's what's going to be in the first box, apparently:

• garlic scape
  
• pac choi
  
• radishes
  
• squash
  
• broccoli
  
• mustard greens
  
• sorrel
  
• lettuce
  

There's also oregano if I want it and let him know by tomorrow morning. I don't know what variety of squash or lettuce yet. Yes I have a cookbook or two (or twenty four) and tend to like things like broccoli best when they're raw, but would absolutely love to hear about your favorite recipes using some of these things if you feel like sharing.

Edit: What I ended up with: four garlic scapes, four radishes, one yellow summer squash, two heads of broccoli, mustard greens, sorrel, Tokyo Bekana, mizuna, oregano, one small pac choi which might've been the last one. I think most of the leafy greens will just end up in a big salad. Sorrel is...interesting. Good interesting, but interesting nonetheless.

Ok, we're jealous--how did you manage to get the broccoli and squash? ;-)

I already posted a sorrel iced tea recipe.

The garlic scape was delicious grilled on a sheet of aluminum foil with a little olive oil.

Oh, and if you need help distinguishing what is what (so you don't accidentally make tea out of the mustard greens thinking they are sorrel, the way I did), I've got pictures up at http://pics.livejournal.com/free_of_whip/gallery/0000k314
