WELCOME TO THE “IMMUNE BOOSTER” (Week 5) SHARE!
I went out for a walk today, only to see what had lived. Some things don’t mind the snow. Even in bloom I saw the daffodils were still yellow under the snow. The grass was still green peeking up through the white crystals. There is the ticking, ticking of time that must be what shines through. What season is this? What are your hopes in the mud and the snow, in the gray skies and the cold wind that blows all day and all night tossing the darling buds that hope of spring. Is this a new season? What is this unseen wind that blows cold and then warm, world-round, that stirs the oceans and heaves the mountains, that moils the currents of the deepest oceans, that churns and turns and polishes and smooths the rough edges to flat until it all disappears into a grain of sand?
Strange to see a snowy April. Some things shrivel. Some things cower. Some things stay true and strong. So now, children of the earth, maybe since we have had a little snow, maybe that means that we can go out now to plant and play. Let us find the hope, the faith, and the love for one another, despite the surprises of spring. It is time now to come together. To work together. To share the effort and the accomplishment. To be tired. To seek rest. To feel hunger. To eat a hearty meal with a good appetite. To live close to one another and ourselves, despite social distancing. It is time to hold the world in a grain of sand and to see eternity in a flower.
It is with the acceptance of surprises that we bring to you this week’s food of the season with the collaboration of our good friends at Garden Works Organic Farm, the Brinery, Harvest Kitchen, Raterman Bread, Ginger Deli, Zingerman’s Creamery, Kapnick Orchards, and Goetz Family Farm. Thanks to our hardworking crew of Donn, John, Mark, Peter, Annie, Andy, Geoff, Jbird, Ryan, Zoe, and Chizo, who continue to help pull these shares together for you! Also, if by some chance you notice that you are missing items from your share at any time, please let us know, since some of our crew are volunteering to work 12-14 hours on Fridays to pull your share together for you, and sometimes we make mistakes, because of the long day. We can usually replace or substitute something else the following week if needed.
**PLEASE READ THIS!! We will be distributing your share in 1 box that is 1-1/9 bushel. Due to concern about contamination from the coronavirus, we are asking for you to take and keep the box at home for now. From our research, the virus does not last for more than 24 hours on cardboard, but there are so many unknowns about it, that we are thinking it is the best option for now. We definitely are hoping that you can return them to us sooner or later. Please ask for assistance, if you need any help in loading your share, and it is especially helpful if you are patient and kind with our volunteers as you wait your turn to be checked off for curbside pick up of the boxes. This is a time, like no other, to slow down and be as understanding as possible. Also, if you have sent a check in the mail, please be patient, since we may delay in entering check payments. We will let you know if we are missing your payment some time in the next few weeks. If you paid with PayPal or Venmo, you are all set. You may drop off checks and cash (only in a labeled envelope) at the Food Hub and the Farm and place in a labeled Payment Bag. We have also recently acquired VENMO, so if you have that app, please feel free to send money that way to @Deb-Lentz, with 6748 as the last four numbers of the phone number. Please give Deb a courtesy email/text/call at 734-385-6748, if you can’t make it to your scheduled Distribution Site on time, so we know what your situation is, so that we don’t have to track you down. More storage tips can be found on our website under CSA Info>Veggie Id or Recipes>Produce Information Organized by Parts of the Plant.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for supporting your local farmers and local food artisans as we travel together on this journey of health and mindfulness as we continue to face a myriad of unknowns in the coming days. Also, if you have time to support or thank the businesses that are helping us provide you with convenient Pick Up Locations, please express your gratitude to ROOSROAST, PURE PASTURES, and AGRICOLE FARM STOP. We are happy that we may continue to feed you and keep you healthy with so many wonderful partners in our community. We wish you safe passage as we strengthen our immune systems with good local food and hopes for more sunshine!
–Deb and Richard

RECIPES
**Keep in mind a very easy way to find recipe ideas for almost any combination of share box ingredients is to type the items into your preferred “search bar” with the word “recipes” at the end, and many recipe ideas will pop up. Have fun searching!
SAUTEED TEMPEH (Richard’s recipe)
1 brick tempeh
2 Tbsp oil
2-4 Tbsp soy sauce, tamari, or Braggs Amino Acids
Heat oil in pan on medium to medium high heat. Slice the brick into quarter-inch slices. Saute in pan on one side until tempeh is golden brown. Flip to other side and saute until slightly golden-brown. Then drizzle or spray soy sauce onto each slice of tempeh. Continue cooking until soy sauce is absorbed by the tempeh and there is no liquid left in the pan. Remove from pan, and serve in a variety of ways: crumbled into salads, kept whole in slices of Raterman’s bread as a sandwich with other condiments, such as the Brinery’s sauerkraut, add to egg dishes, top soups with tempeh slices or crumbled.
TEMPEH REUBEN BOWLS **Thanks to Carisa Wilder for finding this recipe! (https://www.heynutritionlady.com/tempeh-reuben-bowls/?fbclid=IwAR0W9T7UlAXX-Y4q1fmsEhxUNPEzCnimN6bW1PCH7B01XeDrS6RlfTXDLus) Serves 4.
2 x 200g package tempeh
1/2 cup vegetable broth or water
1 tsp dried oregano
2 garlic cloves crushed
1/3 cup soy sauce
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/3 cup red wine
1 tsp whole cloves
1/2 tsp cracked pepper
.
1/3 cup tahini paste
3 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup water more for a thinner sauce
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup sauerkraut or more if you like
2 medium beets peeled and grated
2 cups cooked whole grains (farro wheat berries, quinoa, or a mix)
4 cups leafy greens (Swiss Chard, Bok Choy, Spinach)
2 dill pickles sliced
To make the marinade, combine the broth, oregano, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, red wine vinegar, red wine, cloves, and pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil over medium heat, reduce, and simmer for 10 minutes. Slice the tempeh into cubes (or slabs if you’re making sandwiches) and place into a shallow bowl or container. Pour the marinade over the tempeh slices, cover, and refrigerate for one day or overnight. You can make the lemony tahini sauce while the tempeh is marinating, and keep in the fridge overnight. Whisk together the tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, water, salt, and pepper. Set aside. When you’re ready to bake the tempeh and make the bowls, preheat the oven to 200°C / 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicon baking mat. Strain the marinade off of the tempeh, and arrange the cubes on the baking sheets. Bake for 20-30 minutes, turing the cubes once halfway through. Remove the tempeh from the oven and set aside to cool. (But if you’re making a sandwich, use the tempeh hot!)
To assemble the Reuben bowls, divide the leafy greens amongst 4 bowls or lunch boxes. Add the tempeh, sauerkraut, grated beets, whole grains, and pickles. If serving immediately, drizzle with a bit of tahini sauce. If packing for lunches, pack with a small container of sauce tucked alongside. Top with Garden Works Pea or Sunflower Shoots.
SWISS CHARD CASSEROLE (from Master Cook)
2 cups brown rice, cooked
8 oz Swiss chard leaves, torn or chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
16 oz tomato-based sauce*
1 Tbsp tamari soy sauce
2 cup shredded Colby jack cheese
Mix all the ingredients together and place in greased casserole. Cover. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven until cheese is thoroughly melted, about 20 minutes. This might mix nicely with Ginger Deli’s Tofu Tomato dish. Notes: More cheese can be layered on top. More sauce can also be used. It’s very easy to make several casseroles at once when there is a lot of chard available, then wrap and freeze. One recipe takes about 1 to 1 1/2 hours to cook when frozen.
*The following sauces have been used with good results: marinara, enchilada, arriabiata, various salsas.
GINGERED GREENS AND TOFU
Marinade:
1/2 cup soy sauce

3 Tbsp fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
Pinch cayenne or splash of chili oil
Toasted cashews or peanuts (optional)
Bring marinade ingredients to a boil in a small saucepan. Simmer for 1 minute and remove from heat. Cut tofu into 1-inch squares, 1/2-inch thick, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil and marinade for 5 minutes. Prepare remaining ingredients. Broil tofu for 7-8 minutes per side until lightly browned. While tofu broils, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a wok or large skillet. Stir in the ginger and add greens. Stir constantly until the greens are heated through and wilted. Add lime juice, cilantro and cayenne. Remove from heat. Toss with tofu and marinade. Top with nuts if desired.

4 cups stock or water
1 1/2 tsp salt

Saute the onion, garlic and nuts in 3-4 tablespoons butter and with a little salt, until onions are clear. Puree everything together in a blender, until it is smooth. Return the puree to a kettle or double boiler and whisk in ONE of the following: 1 cup milk, 1 cup yogurt or buttermilk plus a little honey, 1/2 pint heavy cream, 3/4 cup sour cream. Season with ONE of the following combinations: 2 pinches nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon dried mint, dash of cinnamon, 1/2 to 1 teaspoon each of thyme, marjoram, and basil, 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger root, sauteed in butter plus a dash of sherry before serving.
