Here is the recipe as given to us by Myerov CSA

Sauteed Baby Bok Choy

Baby bok choy, trimmed

1 Tbsp. olive oil

1 garlic clove, thinly sliced

2 shallots, thinly sliced

1/2 teasp. Kosher salt

1/4 cup Chicken stock

Soak the bok choy in a large bowl of clod water for a few minutes to rid it of any dirt that may be trapped between the leaves. Lift out and drain well. Heat the oil in a large skillet or flat-bottomed wok over high heat. Add the garlic and shallots and cook until soft, about 1 minute. Add the bok choy, sprinkle with the salt, and stir-fry 1 minute. Add the stock, cover and turn the heat to low. Cook for 3 minutes, or until the bok choy is crisp tender but still bright green. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bok choy to a bowl and serve.

We served ours over chili seasoned Kashi Pilaf. We didn’t have Chicken stock but did have vegetable stock so we used that. We also added some pan seared chicken for protein and we meant to added very thinly sliced red bell pepper but we forgot about it and left it in the fridge. We also added some additional garlic (we LOVE garlic) and some toasted sesame seeds.

We loved this dish so much we are hoping that there is some more baby bok choy in our CSA box this week! We will find out Saturday!

I also wanted to add the recipe for the red new potatoes we had the other day:

Parchment Paper Potatoes

Large piece of parchment paper 15×25

4 medium red potatoes (we sliced them with a mandolin)

4 sprigs thyme

1 sprig rosemary

olive oil

salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 400 F. Thinly slice each potato into rounds. Fold parchment in half. Layer the potato slices in the inside of the fold, overlapping them in a few rows. Drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Top with remaining potato slices and more salt and pepper rosemary leaves, thyme leaves and more olive oil. Fold parchment over potatoes, crimping edges tightly to seal and enclose completely. Place on a baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes.

Tomorrow for dinner we are having Quick Dill Cucumbers

2 cucumbers, washed and sliced thin (I peeled ours as well, they were slightly prickly)

2 sprigs fresh dill, finely chopped

2 scallions, green and white section thinly sliced

salt and pepper

rice wine vinegar

Combine all the ingredients except the vinegar in a medium bowl and toss until well mixed. Add enough vinegar to coat the cucumbers. Adjust seasoning. Cover and chill till ready to serve.

I might add some sour cream to the recipe since that is my great grandmother’s recipe with the exception of the dill and scallions and she used just regular vinegar which I might substitute or maybe I’ll use a white wine vinegar.

We hope you enjoy these recipes!

• Altoids
• Barbeque sauce
• Half and half or creamer in coffee
• Diet drinks (they still have some calories)

Here’s the blow by blow coverage, this is great.
