Thank you Harleston Towles and Rooting Down Farms!

When you’re yearning for the comforting richness of mac and cheese, minus some of the heaviness, try this recipe for a cheesy cabbage casserole that riffs on the iconic pasta dish. I’ve subbed purple cabbage for the green type in the recipe with success, and love the pop of color.

A quick search of sweetgrass + grits will take you to plenty more recipes—all curated with an eye toward the weekly Twenty Bag harvest.

Harleston’s storage tips: If greens or herbs of any kind begin to wilt at any point or at pick up, put them in a big bowl of ice water for 20-30 minutes.  Almost all produce is washed and should go in the refrigerator. Everything in the fridge in a plastic bag if possible for longer keeping!
