From Anna Monette Roberts, POPSUGAR Food

Notes

If you don't have access to a farmers market nearby, consider ordering seasonal produce from a home delivery service like Good Eggs [1].

Green garlic can be substituted with 1 clove of garlic, minced. Kumquats can be substituted with zest of 1 orange and a few tablespoons of orange juice.
