Light & Bright Recipes
Bright-green leeks to earthy sunchokes, and colorful radicchio to punchy citrus, this week’s box shakes off the winter chill with a gorgeous array of light and bright flavors. Also including other colorful favorites like baby red beets, licorice-y fennel, iron-rich spinach and salad greens, plus red onions and creamy Hakurei turnips, the lineup is rounded out by smokey Jack Mountain pork chops, golden wildflower honey, a savory rosemary sea salt bread loaf, fragrant garden-grown herbs, and eggs from our heritage breed hens. Crack open your box, throw on an apron and enjoy all this bright box has to offer!
Here are a few recipe ideas for the week:
