Farm Notes from Plato w/Farmer Dean
Morning Harvest @ Tangletown Gardens Farm
WELCOME TO 2023 CSA - Week 10
(S) - Small Share, (M) - Medium Share, (L) - Large Share
This key indicates which share sizes get what produce. Different share sizes will often receive different produce. We will vary what goes into the share each week to spread the bounty equitably to all members.
There are times when mother nature puts a kink in our plans. We can't guarantee that all of these items will be in your share, but expect to see most of them (and sometimes a surprise).

Chili & Honey
Glazed
Carrots
Everybody knows carrots can be added to just about anything. I personally love to eat them cooked in a delicious glaze. To glaze carrots, cut them up and add them to a pan with a little water, honey, spices, and salt. Simmer until the carrots are tender and the liquid has reduced into a thick sauce. If the sauce is thick and the carrots aren’t done yet more water can be added.
2 lb carrots (about 10 medium carrots)
8 cloves garlic
3/4 cup water
2 TBSP lime juice
1/2 cup honey
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp chili powder
1 TBSP paprika
1 tsp black pepper
2 TBSP brown sugar
2 tsp salt
Peel and bias cut carrots. Mince garlic. In a large skillet, sear the carrots without moving them until they start to brown. Add the garlic and saute for a minute or two. Add remaining ingredients and cook over high heat until the liquid has reduced into a nice glaze, about 15 minutes. Test carrots for desired tenderness.
