Chilled Cucumber Herb Soup
Sour cream, your CSA ingredients and a dash of hot sauce is all you need for this simple and flavorful soup. It’s a great summertime treat!
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
Mirin-Braised Pak Choi and Shiitake Mushrooms
Mirin is a sweet rice wine that tastes great in this dish, but you can get by with white wine and a little sugar. Silken tofu is lovely here. The sauce is subtle, it’s a nice way to highlight your ingredients without too much getting in the way.
