Swiss Chard
Check out our blog post with lots of suggestions for preparing chard.
Shishito Peppers
Our favorite way to serve Shishitos is to lightly toss them in olive oil, add salt and pepper and either pan fry them or if you can, throw them directly on a hot grill for a few minutes each side, until they blister. The perfect summer snack. Not a snacker? Try these recipes:
Meatballs with miso and shishito peppers over udon (we’ve made this a dozen times)
Fairy Tale Eggplants
Fairy tales are a dainty, adorable variety of eggplant. Smaller, sweeter and much less bitter than their larger ubiquitous cousins, you can substitute them for regular eggplants in any recipe or try one of these:
Eggplant with Cashew Butter and Pickled Peppers (use your purple bells here, too)
Mustard Greens
Here are a few ways to enjoy these spicy, nutrient-packed leaves:
Beans
We still maintain that there’s nothing better than fresh beans from the farm, but if you’re tired of eating them raw, fire up the oven and try this roasted bean recipe
