CSA: Early Spring Session (Week 1)

kale raab





One of the more unusual items in this week's boxes is kale raab (fresh from Jubilee).  Brassicas like broccoli and kale send up shoots of delicious flower buds when they are going to seed after the winter, and these buds are called "raab."

They're very sweet and are even tasty when added raw to salads.  For a quick lunch today, I just chopped them up and sauteed them with garlic in olive oil.
