Local Box 11/13/14 - Vegan Greenling Meal Plan

here's the contents - it was very leafy!



Japanese Turnip
Spanish Black Radish
Rapini
Green Onions
Apples
Red Potatoes
Kohlrabi
Collard Greens
Marrs Oranges
Eureka Persimmons
Cilantro

so, the turnips and radishes had such huge greens, add that to the collards and rapini and it barely all fit in my fridge!

I gave the radish greens to the guinea pig because I love him :)

The Turnip Greens i have already actually used in a Dal dish that I just made from my own brain, i used one turnip too, sauteed the turnip in the spices, cumin, coriander, turmeric and coconut oil, then added the chopped up greens, then added that to some cooked dal, very delish altho not photogenic at all.



Probably will roast the turnips or add to some curry dishes, they look good!  here's a recipe for Roasted Turnips & Balsamic

also may try roasting the Kohlrabi! check this out - Roasted Kohlrabi - i'm just not into cold food right now :)

Radishes - heck, may roast these too, i have done that with the little red ones.

Red Potatoes & Turnip - i found a recipe for Autumn Vegetable Stew in the Thanksgiving Section of my Forks over Knives App - i think i must try that
There will be potatoes left over so i think i will just make some mashed potatoes and gravy for thanksgiving!

Also in that Forks over Knives recipe app i found a Green Onion Hummus so will use the green onions in that

Cilantro will top bean tacos and burritos

Collard Greens - i love these so much - i may make something simple like these Garlicky Collard Greens after all the fancy thanksgiving cooking

and last but not least those oranges!! I am totally craving these Orange Cranberry Muffins so THEY WILL BE MADE

My next box comes early because of Thanksgiving - so hopefully will post before then
