Veggie Box contents:
- Eggs.  we ran out of eggs so I included some organic free range white ones in some boxes
- Kale mix
- String beans - if you cook the purple ones, they will turn green - very good raw too.
- Garlic and shallots
- Carrots - the yellow ones might be a bit tough, they have overgrown a bit - good for cooking.
- Zucchini
- Patty Pan squash - summer squash, similar uses to zucchini.  very nice for grilling
- Tomatillos - makes a wonderful roasted salsa verde
- Tomatoes - best not to refrigerate, or they can lose some flavour
- Herbs:  chives, dill, savory, basil

Roasted Tomatillo Salsa

Salsa verde is quick and easy with hardly any chopping required.  Slice, roast, cool, and purée.  Here's  the recipe.

Plum Salsa:

This recipe is similar to the one my sister made for the workparty.  Very versatile, works alongside poultry, roast pork, fish, etc.  Even good with tortilla chips.  The lime juice melds all the flavours together.  I'm pretty sure my sister used a seeded jalapeño, and you could throw some seeds in to make it hotter.  I'm also thinking you could swap chives for the green onions.
