Chard, Chick Peas and misc

While looking for chard recipes, I saw a lot of recipes using chickpeas. So I made a random concoction with them tonight that was actually decently good. Plus I served it with whole wheat Israeli couscous, which might just be my new favorite thing. Yum!

So, here's what I did:
Chopped up half an onion and several garlic cloves
Sauteed them in some olive oil until a bit tender (5ish min)
Then dumped in a can of chickpeas (drained) and sauteed some more
In a few minutes, I threw in some chard stems (first microwaved in water for 1 minute) and some cherry tomatoes.
Then I dumped in the chard leaves (destemmed, a pretty big bunch) and sauteed everything until the leaves were soft.
I salted to taste and served over the whole wheat Israeli couscous and sprinkled a little bit of goat cheese on top. Not too bad!

Wayward Seed CSA 6/24/10

Sorry I've been MIA! I switched CSAs this year, as Wayward Seed has a pickup at the new market right outside my office. So convenient!

Things got off to a bit of a slow start, due to the weather. The first official week was 2 weeks ago. I don't remember everything we got, but I know there were:
-peas
-strawberries
-radishes
-chard
And probably some other stuff that I don't recall. That was 6/10/10.

Then, the next week, the farm was bombarded with rain, and they actually suspended the CSA for the week. I felt horrible for them, but it sounds like they've turned the corner and things are much better now.
So, 6/17/10 was just fruit:
-cherries

This week, we're back on track! It's still not full season yet, but we got:
-chard
-rattail radishes (I think that's what they're called)
-cherries
-black raspberries!

(My berry love is happily being fulfilled!!)

Last night D and I sauteed the chard with some garlic and olive oil (including the stems, which he pre-blanched), and then did the radishes with some onions and olive oil. Delish!! We also had grilled fingerling potatoes and deeeeelicious grilled Copper River salmon. Yum!
