2020 CSA Basket #2

This week our basket was especially usable. I'm used to a lot of early spring baskets being mostly greens, which is great, but not always something that's easy for us to incorporate into our regular diets. This basket has a lot of crunchy vegetables in it and I'm always up for something I can just snack on all day long with no preparation beyond cleaning.
Fennel (2)
Collard greens
Radishes (plus greens)
Kohlrabi (2 small bulbs)
Potatoes (6)
Broccoli
Lettuce

This is entirely doable. We used the broccoli and two of the potatoes in a frittata last night.  I'll eat the radishes and kohlrabi as snacks. I'll use the lettuce in a couple of salads. I'll saute those greens and eat them as lunch.  I'm not sure exactly what we'll do with the fennel just yet. In the past we've done a slow cooker recipe with chicken thighs, fennel, and rice, but since we're trying to eat less meat, I don't know exactly what to do with it. Maybe this fennel chickpea stew?  

And that's it. A delightful basket we'll enjoy all week long.
