It helps me a lot to have a few ideas of what to do with our veggies, and last week&#8217;s missed box totally reduced our green vegetable consumption significantly, so I&#8217;m very excited about our box today.

Like I mentioned <a href=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/another-week-of-foodshares-dws-box\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6481\">last week<\/a>, Tokyo <strong>bekana<\/strong> can be used in a variety of ways, and similar to napa cabbage, bok choy, or pak choy and can be used in stir fries and as a tender salad green. I&#8217;m tempted to try it in the salad rolls mentioned above, wrapped with the bekana, but this <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/granorfarm.com\/recipes\/bekana-with-sesame-cashews-and-currants\" target=\"_blank\">salad with tahini and currents<\/a> from Granor farm in Michigan looks like a great option as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the things I have been hoping to make again with some fresh <strong>green onions<\/strong> are <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com\/edmonton\/2018\/04\/10\/siu-to-78-is-believed-to-be-the-man-who-popularized-green-onion-cakes-in-edmonton.html\" target=\"_blank\">Green Onion Cakes,<\/a> following the simple but perfect recipe from Siu To in Edmonton, who has since started a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenonioncakeman.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">restaurant devoted to green onion cakes<\/a>. But there is also this Chinese inspired <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/www.marystestkitchen.com\/chinese-inspired-green-onion-spaghetti\/\" target=\"_blank\">green onion spaghetti<\/a> recipe from the always wonderful Mary&#8217;s Test Kitchen that calls to me.

Like with <strong>shishito peppers<\/strong>, I&#8217;m not sure what I&#8217;d do that wasn&#8217;t just simply frying them in a bit of oil and salt until they&#8217;re blistered, but this addition of a<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/veganmiam.com\/recipes\/spicy-miso-shishito-peppers\" target=\"_blank\"> spicy miso sauce<\/a> from Vegan Miam is just the extra angle I was looking.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting the <strong>chard<\/strong> greens in the Efo Riro was a successful and delicious addition, but someone mentioned a ribolitta to me and I have become fixated on the idea of making some at home, and this <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yumsome.com\/cosy-and-comforting-ribollita-tuscan-bread-soup\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cozy and Comforting Ribollita<\/a> from yumsome is a hearty soup that looks perfect for some of next week&#8217;s rainy days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can see the future and the <strong>heirloom tomatoes<\/strong> are going to be chopping up into a salad with the <strong>cucumber<\/strong>, some onion, and some herbs. Maybe wit a tofu feta, like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/cadryskitchen.com\/tomato-cucumber-salad\/\" target=\"_blank\">this recipe from<\/a> Cadry&#8217;s Kitchen, or maybe a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/classic-panzanella-salad-recipe\" target=\"_blank\">classic panzanella salad <\/a>to go along with my ribollita. After the <a href=\"https:\/\/meshell.ca\/blog\/gia-toronto-first-tastes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"6461\">panzanella from Gia<\/a> last month, I&#8217;ve been looking forward to having it again soon. I was lucky enough this year to have a pair of ample basil plants, so my Mediterranean dishes have really been shining this summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There seems to be a pasta-centric theme going with my menu planning this week, but finally, I&#8217;m aiming to do a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thefullhelping.com\/simple-vegan-burst-cherry-tomato-pasta\/\" target=\"_blank\">Simple Vegan Burst Cherry Tomato pasta<\/a> from The Full Helping. That is, if we manage not to snack on all the tomatoes between now and then.
