We want you to put on your most creative apron and help us with a new little Pitchknives tradition called the three ingredient challenge. We’ll give you three seasonal delights and you tell us how you’d put them together in a dish or cohesive meal. (You can, of course, use other tasty items at your disposal to bring it all together). Ready? This week’s ingredients are (drum roll please….)

The kale, of course, has a long growing season, but this was some of the finest local kale we’ve seen so far this year. The scapes look a little like scallions, but are in fact the green shoots from a garlic bulb and have a more subtle taste than the more familiar clove. And who can resist a spring strawberry?

Share your recipe ideas with us at submissions@pitchknives.com. We’ll show you how we combined these ingredients at this time next week. Until then, happy cooking!
