Sunday's Best of the Rest ~ Lunch & Dinner

In my CSA delivery this morning - I found some lovely things. Green garlic, leeks, artichokes, fresh rosy snapdragons and more. So here's a menu worth the beauty of these spoils. As always email me for the recipes or look them up online, most are available.

~ Lunch
Alice Waters' Green Garlic Soup (Instead of pureeing that soup, I added some bread crumbs in each bowl and stirred it in just before serving, this makes it a little more substantial as well as gives a deeper flavor)
Steamed asparagus with a dressing of creme fraiche, dill, green garlic, lemon, and hot sauce

~Dinner
Leek Tart
Gourmet's Sauteed Artichokes with lemon
