CSA Week One
Michelle’s Raw Kale “Caesar”
2 bunches of greens (preferably kale, but can use collards)
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
juice of 1 lemon
3 or 4 tablespoons of olive oil
salt & pepper
parmesan
Slice the greens as thinly as possible. An easy technique is to roll several leaves together, then slice. Mince the garlic as finely as possible, and add a little salt. Mix the greens, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil, scrunching with your hands to soften the greens. Marinate for at least a few hours, or overnight. Adjust the seasoning to taste, adding more salt, pepper, olive oil or lemon juice. Grate a generous amount of parmesan over the greens, mix, and ENJOY!!!
More GREENS!
2 bunches greens (if combining, do chard/bok choi OR kale/collard )
2 cloves garlic
1/3 large onion
¼ cup raisins or prunes
¼ cup cashews or pine-nuts
2 tbs. olive oil
1 tbs. red wine vinegar
salt
Mince garlic, chop onion and greens. Heat oil in pan on medium heat, and add garlic when hot. Add onion 30 seconds later, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 4-6 minutes, then add greens. Cook for another 4 minutes and add vinegar and raisins. Cook for 2 minutes. In a separate pan, toast cashews until golden brown. Add to the greens mixture and serve with rice, quinoa, or pasta. Salt to taste…..

It’s week one, and we are happy to get the CSA ball a rollin! Please remember to start bringing your own bags and leave the box with us. Also, flowers are not quite ready yet. Other than that, it’s a go. Lots of spring goodness happening this week. Eat your greens people!! We have been looking forward to this all spring. We are now at the Sebastopol Farmers Market on Sundays and will be at the Occidental Farmers Market Friday evenings, starting this week. It’s a swell time down in Occidental and we would love to see you there! Thanks again.

Hi
I love the raw caesar kale salad. I heard about it from a raw cook in Sebastopol and made it just the other night. I could eat this every day!
No one believes how good and tender kale can be using the massaging
method. Hurrah for kale. We would love to visit your farm soon.
