Inside out tamales using napa cabbage with a tamale dough and a pickled carrot filling.

Week 4: head lettuce, basil, lettuce mix, carrots, collards, kale, bok choi, napa cabbage, garlic,strawberries and broccoli.

Week 5: beets, head lettuces, bok choi, napa cabbabage, basil, parsley, garlic, Red Russian kale, dino kale, collards and summer squash.
