I forgot to say anything about Sorrel. If you are looking for recipes, search for French Sorrel. It generally has a lemony flavor so it's nice with fish or eggs. Just saute it and use your imagination. I don't people eat it raw but I could be easily be wrong. It has a bit of a slippery aspect, especially if overcooked. I bet it would taste nice sauteed and served on top of asparagus or maybe broccoli, really anything that tastes nice with lemon. Another standby is sorrel-potato soup.
Enjoy.

FAVA BEANS
Just a real quick post to get you started. I definitely want to try the grilled favas with my beans. It sounds a lot easier. And Farm Member Linda H told me they were great that way.
There seem to be a bunch of favas coming in to pick in the next few weeks. Let's have some fun!
The full share got fava beans and I put samples out for other folks to bring home to try out. There may be enough favas in coming weeks for the half shares and mini shares. They are tasty but can be tedious to prepare.
Here are some links to information on preparing them.
