| Strange but True: Purple Carrots |
Featuring purple carrots, broccoli rabe, lettuce, radicchio & strawberries
Wild-caught US Gulf shrimp, a “good alternative” for sustainability according to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, is on sale this week at Safeway. We decided to have some in a ginger-spiced soup with purple carrots, broccoli, arugula, and spinach. Looks like another stir-fry is on the menu this week as well. Our unexpected bonus of broccoli rabe (rapini) is a welcome addition to “burger night” Wednesday.
Four heads of lettuce mean plenty of salads. Two moderately large heads of radicchio have me in a quandary. To make the usual Sicilian Sauteed Radicchio, find another recipe (we’ve tried many we didn’t like), or to use a little in salads and largely ignore it until next week? Any radicchio ideas out there?
