Spring Feast in Lower El
The Fava beans are ready for harvest, as are beautiful Haukeri turnips, sugar snap peas, lettuce, and the jewels of spring — strawberries! This sounded like a recipe for a spring feast, so we prepared Salad, a stir fry, and strawberry honey tea with fennel this week. Students had a lesson in knife skills and got to practice on turnips, onions, fresh garlic, radishes, and berries. They shelled beans, sang songs, steeped tea, and in the end we savored our food together!
