Greens, greens, greens

After being inundated with greens two weeks ago, the best news we ever heard came from the CSA farm email, saying "the groundhog ate all our early lettuce". Bless you groundhog, you saved us. You are now my totem animal. Groundhogs rule! Anyway, we are very excited about more kohlrabi, and especially the cippolini onions. They are wonderful to roast, and carmelize beautifully. I can't forget last summer when I went to the Mt.Sinai greenmarket, and noticed red flat onions. I asked the vendor if they were cippolini onions as well, and were good roasting candidates. His face lit up, and very animatedly, he said "they're even better to roast". Well, I was sold. I'll be looking forward to seeing these towards the end of the summer. As Ronald and I always tell people, we saute everything. So there is never a concern about how we are going to prepare our vegetables. I grab whatever has been in the refrigerator longest, place it on the counter, point to Ronald, and say "go, saute". He then works his magic with spices, marinades, glazes, and choice of oil. He's my magic man.
