Chard Hard

Good morning friends!

With the Fourth of July coming up we will have an amazing collection of steaks, sausages and other grillables for your celebrations. Keep an eye on Sunday's spotlight for the full list! If there is anything that your heart desires that you don't see on Sunday's list - just shoot us an email and we will see if we can make wishes come true. Throw us a line at hello@sharefamilydinner.com - we always love to hear from you!

This week we have beautiful rainbow chard from our friends at Clark Farm, pictured above.

I never thought these words would come out of my mouth but here's a couple fun facts about Chard:

1. Rainbow Chard is not any different from Swiss Chard, rather it's a mix of different colors of the Swiss variety.

2. The "Swiss" does not reference a land of origin (it's from Sicily in fact) but instead is a nod to the Swiss botanist who classified it in the 1800's W. D. J. Koch.

3. True to its name Swiss chard will refrain from taking sides in international conflict, preferring a leafy neutrality.

Of course you could be a responsible human being and eat your chard in a bright, fresh salad with lemon and breadcrumbs. You could also decide that life is complicated and that you deserve a pizza. I'm taking that route - caramelizing some onions, sautéeing the chard and going heavy on the mozz.

Bon appetit!

I need to skip this week!

Please email us by Sunday evening if you'd like us to skip the order that is due to process on Monday! This would not be for the items listed above but for the following delivery. It really, REALLY helps us if you skip BEFORE orders process early Monday morning.

I'm traveling this week/month/year!

You can take us with you! Get in touch and we'll put together a custom package of goodies to keep you sated while you're enjoying the Cape or Bar Harbor. If you're expecting to be away for several weeks or months we can put your subscription on hold.

I'm allergic and/or hate this item!

Send us an email with your name and we'll make a note to your account to substitute those items when they're a part of your share.

What do I do with these bags/ice packs?

Please leave them outside for our drivers to collect and return to home base. We'll get them cleaned up and back into rotation.

We want YOU... to email us

Recipes

Chicken “Piccata” With Chard - This sort of pounding and light dredging is a great way to get more bites out of your chicken. Bonus that it shortens the cooking time quite a bit and is damn tasty.

Grilled Striped Bass - I love this sort of recipe. Simple, direct, permission to kinda just do your thing. I would throw down some of the scallions and fresh garlic greens to grill the sea bass on. Toss the grilled veg with the micro greens and top with some olive oil, lemon and sea salt? Oh man...

Cucumber Sandwiches - Sure, it conjures up afternoons at Downton Abbey playing cricket or hunting grouse or whatever you do when you're a resident of Downton Abbey. But still. It's classic and it's delicious and perfect for a warm afternoon.
