CSA Reboot - Mess o' Greens & Roasted Roots

Oh happy day; we've rejoined the CSA! Back on board with One Straw Farm for 2015, and we're into week two of the season. Lately I haven't been inspired for new & exciting & complicated dishes, but you don't really need complicated with these ingredients. As before we are getting a bunch of leafy greens in the early deliveries, so:

 

Sauteed Chard, Kale, Turnip & Kohrabi Greens with Garlic Scapes
- Remove the chard stems & chop separately.
- De-stem, wash & chop all the greens.
- Slice the garlic scapes into small diagonal pieces.
- Saute chard stems & scapes in olive oil for a couple minutes.
- Add greens in batches, as they wilt down. Saute until tender, 5 minutes-ish.
- Season with salt & pepper. Add a few dashes of balsamic vinegar & a drizzle maple syrup to taste, maybe some hot sauce.
(I would go back and add some minced garlic to this too. The scapes are super-pungent when raw, but mellow quite a bit when cooked.)

Roasted Kohlrabi, Baby Turnips & Potatoes
- Peel kohlrabi & turnips, cube them and some potatoes.
- Toss with some olive oil, salt & whatever spices you want. I used a garlic/herb blend & smoked paprika.
- Spread on a baking sheet & roast at 450 for 20-30 minutes or until browned.
