NAPA SLAW & HOT AND SWEET ROASTED ORANGE ROOTS

12/26/19 — Ada Broussard



Recipe and Photos by Isaac Winburne and Heydon Hatcher

These two recipes should be in every CSA member’s recipe arsenal during busy weeks. We were pretty downtrodden and low on energy reserves after a week of holiday festivities, on the precipice of another string of holiday engagements, and needed a quick, nourishing meal, but also to utilize the fridge full of veggies before travel. Isaac loves a good coleslaw and this one turned out beautifully with the toasted sesame oil. The hot and sweet dichotomy of the crispy roasted orange roots was my personal favorite, but you be the judge! Enjoy and happy holidays, friends.
