scrub them, boil them, mash with lots of butter

nice kind of adds an almost smoky flavour to soups and casseroles.

Lots of ideas in Jamies Dinners... or soup... but I never got round to doing anything with the last lot I had so can't really comment

well, i only have 3 lumps of it... so not too much to get through.

it's good actually, i just looked it up online and it has LOADS of iron in... i am always anaemic so maybe i need to eat it more often! lol

I felt I should warn you in advance. I asked about them around a month ago and someone warned me and I did not take their warning seriously and ate far too many and honestly felt like I needed a needle to pierce my backside to get all the wind out the next day.

its delicious with carrot in a soup - Delia had a good recipe. We got some in our box today as well!

Evs09 · 01/02/2006 20:54

Intrigued. Where do ya all get your veggie boxes from then

foxinsocks · 01/02/2006 20:55

I didn't know it had lots of iron in - will remember that!

I think you should be fine with 3 - I had 2 lots (one from week before box) so probably cooked about 15 of them
