Tonight: Bok Choy

     When you have a CSA you learn as you go along.  You really do have to experiment a little bit with the veggies.  Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.  Tomorrow is my share day so I try to use up some of what is in the fridge so I can restock tomorrow.

     Tonight I wanted to use up my Bok Choy. 
1.Cut the ends off the Bok Choy to separate the greens.  Soak twice to get off all the dirt.  Gather leaves, fold and cut Bok Choy into bite size pieces.  
2. In a pan place some sesame or olive oil garlic and ginger (fresh minced is best but dry out of the cabinet works in a pinch) not too much.
3. Once heated add Bok Choy and sautee until greens are wilted.  Add a little soy sauce during this process.  You can always add more later to taste.

4.  Optional,  add some toasted sesame seeds.

You can top this will almonds or serve over rice

I don’t think I’d ever eaten greens before getting involved in CSA.  Never remember them being served or even having them out of a can.  I’m learning to like them now but having a hard time getting the rest of the family to buy in.

Biggest thing I learned about cooking greens of any kind RINSE TWICE!  Unless you like gritty greens. Otherwise greens are EASY.
