I belong to a CSA (Community Sponsored Agriculture) and get a basket of assorted vegetables every week. I have very little cooking experience, and if I search the ingredients online I get a ton of recipes that have only 1 or 2 of the ingredients I need to use. So far what I've been doing is putting most of the stuff together and making a stir fry (perhaps adding onions and mushrooms as a friend recently suggested) with spices. Results have been mixed (no pun intended!). Another idea I've tried is soup, but I'm not as comfortable with that as of yet.
Any general strategies (not necessarily recipes) besides just "stir fry"? I'd prefer to be able to use all of it with a minimum number of recipes (preferably just 1 or 2)
Here are 2 examples of baskets I've gotten.
example from Oct:
Arugula
Beans
Beets
Carrots
Rainbow Chard
Garlic
Kale
Kohlrabi
Okra
Parsley
Peppers
Radishes
Tomatoes
Winter Squash (Butternut or Delicata)
example from Aug:
Fennel
Tomatoes
Summer Squash
Okra
Onions
Black Radishes or Purple Turnips
Peppers
Chard

Have you tried roasting the vegetables? For example, from your October basket, cutting up beets, carrots, and squash and then roasting at 400F until tender. Nestle in some bone-in chicken breasts, roast a pork tenderloin in the oven along with the vegetables, or another protein of your choice.
You could also stuff the peppers with ground beef or lamb along with sauteed garlic, parsley, kale, diced tomatoes, etc. Then roast the peppers for 10-15 minutes in the oven.
I'm not sure these count as strategies, but I'm hoping this helps.
