New foods

I just picked up my first Bountiful Basket!

We're excited to try some new foods. Tom was really excited when I started researching and found out that fuyu is a persimmon. He loves them.

We also got some collard greens and brussel sprouts.

So, PLEASE send me some good recipes. I've never eaten them or cooked them before.

  1. I was curious about what a Fuyu persimmon was and when I searched it I found this site and it has some collard greens and brussel sprout recipes. http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/vegetable/
    Hope there is something helpful.

  2. I know brussel sprouts and collard greens are southern, so maybe if you look in some southern cookbooks that might help. :)

  3. I tried the 2nd brussel sprout recipe you sent me (pan frying with olive oil). It was really good. I did add a little butter and salt after they were browned. I also made a persimmon cake today as we didn't really care for them straight and we added asian pears to a green salad. It's kind of fun being forced to try new things.
