A tiny #mushroom on my way to get vegetables from our #CSA farm.

Imitation is the highest form of admiration.

Taking fresh produce from our csa & chef ideas from our last dinner out to make today's dinner of spicy roasted chickpeas, roasted patty pan squash, and carrot green pesto.

Today's dinner: stuffed courgette flowers.

I used pea protein mince, mixed with minced onions & garlic& some fresh basil, & seasoned with salt & pepper. The courgettes were then sprayed with oil & baked for 20 mins in a 180C convection oven.

They were served alongside roasted potatoes (peeled, cubed, olive oil, salt & pepper, 30 mins in the oven) and some extra courgette.

The difference in flavour between the two types of courgettes (our CSA farmer told us they were different) was remarkable.

The csa had some courgette blooms to spare, so that'll be tonight's dinner, stuffed with pea protein mince and baked.

For now, extreme close up of a courgette bloom pistil.

About 10 years ago the farming community in my area did an experiment. They created a community supported agriculture (CSA) group where they grew grains, (oat, rye, wheat) and a few other things with money contributed to them ahead of time, then transported the products up the lake where we live by sail boat to a distribution centre in the larger town.

There were all kinds of problems but they managed to do it for at least 3 years. The concept folded because of people being unaware of how hard it is to do something like that, the sailors didn't understand transporting food, some of the grain products weren't winnowed and cleaned to the liking of the consumers and many consumers didn't realize what they were getting into needing dry airtight storage and tools like grain grinders to make flour and needing to take the time to sort over grain like that before grinding.

BUT, it was proven that it could work with better planning and management. I think eventually, when the need is greatest, all involved will do it again when expectations are lowered and knowledge is greater. I participated in it and since then have been buying grain and grinding it myself for flour.

One of the perks of #CommunitySupportedAgriculture is that one never knows what they will get in their vegetable basket - and it’s great to try new veggies! Plenty of delicious discoveries like this “Nero di Toscana” cabbage in tonight’s delivery 😋
