Deze week in het pakket / this week's package

Dear people of Lekkernassûh,

There are lots of delicious vegetables in next week’s package (but first, tomorrow’s potluck lunch and the awards ceremony, of course)! For example, you could make a double-beet risotto: Sauté an onion, add the risotto rice and stir until translucent, then pour in the broth. Peel the beets and add them in very small cubes. When it’s almost done, chop some Swiss chard (known as “cutting beetroot” in Dutch), including the stems. Stir it in until it wilts. Serve with pecans, for example—enjoy your meal!

Don’t forget to change your status before Sunday 8pm, if needed. Enjoy!

We expect you can do build-up one a month on wednesday morning. 
  • Lekkernassûh is looking for an additional Market Coordinator at the Gymzaal: To ensure that the market runs smoothly, there is a market coordinator every week. If you would like to contribute to a pleasant market experience and are not afraid to answer questions from our participants, the market assistants, or the cooking team, then join the Coordination Team. Interested? Drop by on Wednesday and ask for Jolande, Pierre, or Sander.

  • Spinozahof is also looking for helping hands: We’re looking for extra volunteers to join our nice team, who’d like to sometimes work a shift on Wednesday afternoons (setting up the market, running the cash register, packing up the market). You’ll be out in the fresh air in Spinozahof’s lovely garden, you choose when you can do a shift and you can use your worked hours to buy fruit or veggies. You can sign up via the ‘market schedule’ (schema marktverzorging doc) below.
