Today's tasty recipes were submitted by CSA member Julia.  

Mirin-braised Cabbage 

Ingredients:
-half head of green cabbage
-1 small onion, peeled and sliced
-2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced

-1/2-1 tbsp mirin 
-salt/pepper

Directions:
1.  Heat a few swirls of oil in a large skillet
2.  Saute onion for a few minutes, then add garlic.  Let cook slightly, then add cabbage--stir, season with salt and pepper, and cover
3.  Let cook covered over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes.
4.  Add mirin, stir, and continue to cook covered for another 10-15 minutes or until tender to your liking. 

*Note: you can also combine other greens with this recipe.  I added some chopped mustard greens midway through the cooking process.


Roasted Sunchokes/Jerusalem Artichockes

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees
2. Lay sliced sunchokes and garlic cloves on parchment paper-lined baking sheet
