Many of you have gotten sorrel in the past and did not know what to do with its tangy flavour

Sorrel also called szczaw, is traditionally used in soup. Martha Stewart has a great Potato Sorrel soup( I process the potatoes as she does, I leaave them rough)

Here are some ideas for you : I put greens in my omelets and sorrel is good that way too.

Sorrel Omelet

Sorrel Humus

Potato Sorrel Soup

Sorrel and Almond Pesto Pasta  Sorrel Pesto: on crusty bread, on pizza, make as a dressing, over pasta or over cooked vegies.

MIZUNA:

Sauteed Mizuna with garlic and fish sauce

Mizuna with sweet vinegrette

Here’s a quick reference for several yummy ways to use  Mizuna: https://www.google.com/search?q=cooking+with+mizuna&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

Parsley: I make pesto with it and I use Walnuts . It goes with every thing and is super refreshing in the summer.

Instructions: take a bag from the top shelf of your fridge, take eggs from the door if you subscribe. SO’s are on bottom shelf marked with your name.

Oregano Tea: What You’ll Need(I make a big jar of it and use alot of oregano) below is for one cup or 2. I do this also with mint.

• 1 tsp Greek honey

How to Make It

1. Place oregano in boiling water and let steep for 3 minutes.
2. Pour contents in glass and add honey.
3. Serve with or without leaves depending on desired method.

Mizuna is so good this week. Here is a word or two about it

Salad. Wash and chop the salad into bite size pieces. Mix with lettuce or any greens for salad. Try spinach and arugula, or even by itself.

Pasta. Even Asian greens can be tossed with pasta and fresh parmesan. Our friend Emma paired bok choy with penne and parmesan recently for a quick meal! Boil noodles of your choice al dente. While the noodles are cooking sauté chopped mizuna in olive oil with garlic. When the noodles are ready, drain and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Toss the noodles, parm, and a bit of the pasta water together in a skillet over low heat. Add more pasta water if the mixture looks dry. Serve with crushed red pepper and extra cheese!

Risotto. Another Italian inspired use for mizuna! Stir chopped and cleaned mizuna into a batch of risotto at the end of cooking. It will wilt perfectly. Try pairing with mushrooms for an earthy dish.

Stir-fry. Asian greens are of course perfect for stir-fry! Pair with any vegetables in your share, lots of garlic and ginger, and your protein of choice. Here’s a recipe to get you started.

Soup. We love greens in miso soup, but feel free to toss them into any vegetable soup at the end of cooking. Mizuna would also pair well chicken noodle or lightly creamy soups.

Grain Salads. This Mizuna Quinoa Salad with Lemon Scallion Vinaigrette is sure to be a crowd pleaser! Toss raw mizuna with farro, quinoa, rice, barley, or any grain for fresh salad perfect for picnics and potlucks.

Sauté. The simplest is last! Wash mizuna and then toss in a pan with garlic and olive oil. Leave whole like in this side to local pork chops or chop into bite-size pieces.

 

Purslane:

toss a handful of purslane leaves into a green salad use your Mizuna,  for some lemony crunch, or add it to pasta, potato, bean or grain salads. It is common in Indian cuisine – here’s a recipe for a purslane dal and a delicious-sounding Indian-style cooked purslane side dish with ginger and garlic

BAsil: a ton of baby basil, rinse well twice , dont worry about stems or roots that may be there, use fresh or make a pesto and freeze.

MINT: Recipe at end of mint section

• Salad Ingredient: Chop up a few leaves and add them to your salad along with some freshly grated ginger and lemon zest. The flavour combo is amazing and adds a great summery flare to your favourite salad.
• Jazz up your water: Flavour your water or lemonade with some smashed mint leaves.
• Fancy Ice Cubes: Adding chopped mint leaves or even mint tea to your ice cube tray is super cute and makes for fun summer sipping. Pop these ice cubes into your guests’ drinks at a party or into your blender for a minty smoothie.
• I Dont worry about the spots you see on some leaves they wont harm you.
