CHICORY MIX
5 lbs. – The chics are here! Not for the faint of heart, chicories are one of our favorite greens for salads, especially as their flavor deepens and sweetens in the fall. They are also wonderful halved or quartered and roasted, pan-fried or grilled (with hunks of bacon and blue cheese for example). They hold very well in the fridge. To the uninitiated, radicchios can seem terribly bitter, but we find their fall sweetness and some careful preparation make for an unparalleled salad. We are unapologetically obsessed with growing and eating chicories! A little extra salt and fat helps temper the bitter and bring out their incredible flavor. If they’re new for you, try a garlickly salty Caesar dressing to start your chicory journey!
As we learn to grow chicories in New England, we plant a large trial of many varieties. We’ll throw a mix together of what we have. You can expect green pan di zucchero “sugarloaves,” some striking wine red radicchios—both the cute round chioggia and the elongated treviso type—and possibly a castelfranco, which are cream, lime green and studded with hot pink.
