It was great seeing so many members on Thursday (June 3) and it was even better sharing the first sample of the season.  The following recipe is how I made the dish, but it really is just a jumping off point for your own creativity… or simply another way to use whatever you happen have in your pantry to supplement your produce share.

-Ellen

Ingredients:

2 c radishes, sliced small

1/2 c roughly chopped cilantro

15 oz can of beans, drained (any kind, I used Great Northern)

4.5 oz can chopped green chiles (or 1/4 cup fresh chiles)

1 tsp lemon juice

2 tsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

1 head of Butterleaf lettuce

Preparation:

1. Mix all ingredients excpet the lettuce together in a large bowl.

2. Separate the lettuce leaves from the head, then wash and dry them in a salad spinner or by blotting with a towel

3.  Spoon the mixture into a lettuce leaf, wrap and enjoy!  The filling may get all over your hands, but that’s part of the fun of eating summer food!
