Notes on the box
Black Futsu Squash is a beautiful heirloom squash from Japan that we started growing several years ago. It is one of our favorites! It’s so beautiful and the flavor is really great, too. It can be roasted and stuffed, or it can be cut into half moon slices and roasted on a sheet pan. The skin is edible. It stores best out of the fridge and should last at least a month.
I tend to not peel beets when I roast them, especially not small ones. Remove the long tail, the top most part, then halve, quarter, or cut to smaller pieces and roast them! You can start with foil over the pan to kind of steam them first, then take off the foil to get the nice brown bits.
Cosmic Wheel Creamery Cheese Shares.
Garlic Dill Quark and Deneb, our aged gouda-style cheese. Try the Garlic Dill Quark as a veggie dip for the carrots or with roasted squash. It’s also really wonderful on crackers or on a bagel.
Recipes.
French Lentil Salad with Goat Cheese and Roasted Radishes - recipe calls for arugula, but you can use salad mix, chopped radish greens, and spinach. If you have a cheese share, you can try the quark in place of goat cheese.
Tahini Sauce for Roasted Veggies - Goes great on roast squash, carrots, turnips, radishes, potatoes… anything!
Mix 4 tbsp tahini, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 1 small pressed/ minced garlic clove, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper. Thin to desired consistancy with water. Use as a drizzle on the veggies or make thicker for a dip.
