CSA: Rhubarb + small hiatus
26 Jun
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is when a farmer offers a certain number of “shares” to the public. Interested consumers then purchase a share to receive a box of seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season. The produce is fairly priced, local grown, and in my case, organic.
This was my first time cooking with rhubarb. I never even knew what it looked like before, to be honest. To me, rhubarb = celery + a little bit of tomato + more tart than a lemon. Would you say that is a pretty accurate description?
I can see why strawberries are so often paired with rhubarb in pies and other desserts, as the flavors harmonize very well. But I didn’t want to go in that direction.
