From a local farm: 'enjoy the splendours of the season'.
Sample box includes potatoes, onions, carrots etc.
My box? Contains as follows:
- pink fir potatoes.
- black kale
- onions
- 2 x patty pan squash
- 2 x yellow peppers
- 1 giant marrow
- 1 turnip
- bag of fresh chillies
What??! I have guests this weekend and wanted to cook a lovely meal based around the contents of the box. This has really thrown me though.... Any suggestions?
I have pork in the freezer but no other meat as mainly eat veggie myself. Loads of tinned & dried pulses. Others, just this veg box and 4kg of apples!
I have today made HFW'a 'Tupperware chorizo', and I have many local apples, so was wondering about a pork/apple/cider dish?
And a turnip/squash gratin? Could add slices of marrow, but will that just dilute the sauce? Turnip? Ugh! Making the best of a bad lot! But too much white/creamy/cheesy flavours?
Would certainly need something fresh, green and zingy to liven it up a bit - and marrow and kale don't spring to mind!
What would you do? Such an unfortunate veg box.
