Mexican Spiced Slaw
Slaw is so versatile, you can use any spices and veggies too, this one would be a great opportunity to break out some of the frozen summer corn!
Ingredient: Scallions
Freezing is a great way to preserve scallions for later recipes. Simply chop them…
Toss them in the freezer for a couple of hours on a cutting board, cookie sheet, or other flat surface. Then take them out and scoop them into your freezer bag before popping them back in the freezer.
The extra step of freezing before bagging ensures that your scallions won’t stick together in the freezer bag, making it simple to take in out only what you need as you need it. Never again will scallions waste!
Recipes Using Scallions
Chinese Eggplant with Spicy Garlic Sauce
I usually don’t follow a specific recipe when sautéing Chinese eggplant, (the sooner you get it in the pot after picking the better) but this recipe is close to what I usually do. Those afraid of the “Spicy” part of the title can just scale back or omit the red pepper, the garlic flavor stands on its own with fresh young CSA eggplant. Ginger, soy sauce and black vinegar and sugar are all listed non-CSA ingredients, but don’t let not having one item stop you from making this recipe, it’s pretty forgiving and really all about the eggplant.
Farmer Jamie’s Zucchini & ‘Cado Soup
This simple recipe from Farmer Jamie takes only a few minutes to blend before an hour of chilling in the fridge. The ingredients are a bit flexible, parsley can replace cilantro, chives can replace scallion, and ground coriander can replace crushed coriander seeds. Other than that, yogurt and chili powder are the only additions you need to your farm fresh ingredients!
