Time to Harvest: Lettuces!

Have you already harvested your first lettuce of the season? I have cut some mixed red and green lettuce, but just take a look at this beautiful head of red butter lettuce I enjoyed last weekend. A boiled egg, some sea salt, a touch of olive oil, vinegar and dijon mustard - it was perfect! Remember that one you start cutting your lettuce to keep planting every week or so, and you’ll have a steady supply through the Spring.

My first Leeks!

I planted my first leeks last summer, and low and behold, they popped up beautifully this Spring. I had to brace myself, both feet solid, to pull these suckers out, beautiful and gritty. After a hearty few washings, I used them to make the recipe for Dilled Green Beans with Seitan from “Super Natural Everyday,” pictured below. Delicious! What are you cooking with leeks?
