Let's Talk Vegetables: Radicchio & Cilantro (Hybrid)
To register: https://rssny.org/class-forms/kickstarter.html
Radicchio, a type of chicory, is known for its beautiful, reddish-purple leaves that livens up salads. It originates in Italy, but grows well in the NY area and is available in the spring and fall.
We’ll also look at cilantro, which is both an herb and a spice. Loved by many (but reviled by some as, “soapy”), cilantro is a vital flavor in many cuisines around the world.
As always, Let's Talk Vegetables (LTV) will start with some information about GrowNYC, our Greenmarket farmer's markets, and what is currently in season. We will then focus on this month’s featured vegetables including historical information, nutritional information, and trivia.
Bring your favorite recipes, tips, and stories and join us for Let's Talk Vegetables.
