Garden-Grown Delights Recipes

From the hoophouse to the herb beds, and the orchards to the vegetable plots, the Bella Luna gardens are bursting to life with fresh produce! Thus, this week, you’ll enjoy such summer ingredients as sunflower and fava shoots, red bunching onions, peppery chives, turnips, and a wealth of crisp salad greens, all served up alongside accompaniments like freshly-baked Pain au Levain bread, locally-foraged Morel mushrooms, farmstead eggs and umami-rich dulse seaweed. It’s a colorful taste of the season; enjoy!

Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:

Grilled Turnips with Mint & Lime
The combination of mint and lime adds summery appeal to these tender-crisp grilled turnips.

Garlic Butter-Roasted Mushrooms
Roasted with capers and garlic, this simple dish is a real show-stopper.

Fava Shoot Salad with Walnuts
This bright and fresh salad shines a spotlight on light, tender, succulent fava shoots.

Fresh Chive Vinaigrette
We like to toss this vibrant, green vinaigrette with mixed lettuces and lots of the tender herbs—think celery leaves, mint, chervil, or parsley.

Charred Red Bunching Onion Gremolata
This smoky sauce is wonderful slathered on grilled bread.
