Veg box

We've started getting a veg box from Kitchen Gardens - the small box every 2 weeks.  I've enjoyed the anticipation of finding out what's in it & then trying out some new recipes.

So far we've had pak choi - made egg stir fried rice
Swiss chard - had it with a bit of oil & garlic. Made a curry- didn't use nuts & potatoes were old not new, & just stirred in the yogurt at the end.  Put some cubes of halloumi in.  Very nice.
Butternut squash - made a risotto

Had kale & romanesque just as side dish.

Made a beetroot relish: cooking apples, onion, cooked beetroot all grated.  Then simmered with ginger, white wine vinegar & sugar.

Made the mistake of roasting pink fir potatoes - they were crunchy but completely dehydrated.

Used onion & carrots to make a savoury rice to have with curry - added some toasted sesame seeds & desiccated coconut which gave alovely flavour.

Broccoli, leek, cheese & egg.  Sauté onion & leek, steam chopped broccoli. Put into greased dish. Beat 4 eggs & some milk, plus grated cheese & pour over. Bake in oven for 15 mins.

Swiss chard, feta & pine nuts. Sauté clove garlic, add chopped chard or greens, chopped tomatoes & sultanas.  Add some water & simmer with lid on until cooked.  Add some lemon zest & at end cubed feta & toasted pine nuts.
