I think I'm adventurous, however honestly, I don't think I could sell "Stinging Nettle Pasta" to my husband. :)SuePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13496981651112553704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545268367393423693.post-67241657822006731592010-05-20T09:26:16.468-05:002010-05-20T09:26:16.468-05:00I am in the Kingfield neighborhood and share with ...I am in the Kingfield neighborhood and share with a neighbor household. Last year I was the lucky recipient of a few vacationers' boxes, and my neighbors gave me a lot of what they couldn't eat. This year I am bona fide on the list!<br /><br />The nice thing about getting greens is you can eat tons in one meal. Last night I stir-fried the garlic, chives, and hon... sai? hon thing? whatever.

Actually, that bunch, when blanched and squeezed prob yielded about 1/2c-3/4 c. chopped - just like spinach is just shrunk. Added 1 c. of the chives, the green garlic and garlic brebis cheese too. I was so proud - since making it used up lots of the veggies. I find that the first CSA boxes (not just HVF - all CSA's I have had) are so loaded with greens, herbs etc. that we don't get to as many as I would like. I prefer the later summer ones, with cukes, zucc., berries, etc. I am better at using those up.<br /><br />I enjoyed the experience - but don't think I will be a nettles 'super-fan' any day. Are you at the Linden Hills location too (which is actually in Fulton neighborhood but whatever...)? How long have you been with HVF?Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893001430890751556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545268367393423693.post-22328232272736103682010-05-19T15:19:21.468-05:002010-05-19T15:19:21.468-05:00Hey, Mark -

I boiled them for 2 minutes and then squeezed/chopped (basically just like spinach) and made the Nettle Frittata recipe that came with the HVF cheese share. It was pretty good. But they were a weird addition to the box share I thought.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893001430890751556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2545268367393423693.post-56012565514131997502010-05-18T09:58:53.865-05:002010-05-18T09:58:53.865-05:00Hey, Susan -
