Recipes You Can Use

Lime-y Spinruts

1 bunch spinruts
¼ cup chopped cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
1 tsp cumin

Slice the spinruts about ¼ inch thick. Toss in a bowl with cilantro, lime juice, and cumin. The longer you let this sit in the refrigerator, the more the juices and flavors will infuse the spinruts.

Chunky Cilantro Sauce

1 tsp whole Peppercorns
1 tbsp fresh grated Ginger
½ cup chopped garlic scapes
1Tbsp lemon zest or 2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup chopped cilantro

Sauté the peppercorns in oil until they “pop” a little bit. Add the remaining ingredients into the hot oil, and spoon over any vegetable, goat cheese, or grilled meat.

Shaved Asparagus Salad

1 pound Asparagus
4 Tbsp Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
Salt and pepper to taste

Using a vegetable peeler, shave the asparagus into thin strips. You’ll end up with thick parts and thin parts, but that doesn’t hurt a thing; you want a bunch of long, skinny strips less than a quarter-inch thick. Toss with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper, and serve.

Green Garlic Vinaigrette

A handful of tender garlic scapes
¼ cup wine vinegar
1/3 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper

Finely chop the garlic green. Put it in a small bowl with the vinegar and salt. Stir and let the mixture sit for 10 to 30 Minutes. Whisk in the olive oil. Serve over Rock Spring Farm salad mix.
