Recipes to use up veg box

[SecondhandTable]

We are trying out a veg box for the first time next week. The contents this week will be: tundra cabbage, carrots, salad leaves, green kohlrabi, leeks, flat helda beans, avocados, purple sweet potatoes and Portobello mushrooms.

If I'm honest I've never cooked a few of those before! I really don't want to have any waste from this, although it's only me and DH and toddler who is unlikely to eat any of those things except carrots. Any suggestions for recipes to use up these ingredients?

Leeks make lovely soup, especially with potatoes (ordinary, not sweet). Alternatively, you could make a chicken (or veggie alternative) pie using the leeks and mushrooms, possibly with a bit of bacon as well. Serve carrots and either the cabbage or the Helda beans as side dishes.

Sweet potato wedges? If the mushrooms are big, as Portobello mushrooms often are, you could put remove the stalk, chop it up and add it to a savoury stuffing which you spread over the middle of the mushrooms and bake them. Wedges and leaves with it, maybe slices of avocado if it's ripe. Or you could maybe make coleslaw with the cabbage and carrots, have that with wedges and stuffed mushrooms or something else.

I don't think I've ever cooked or eaten a kohlrabi! I hope someone will come across with a good idea for that.

I love avocado but nobody else here is all that keen on it, so I usually end up it eating the whole thing myself. Once ripe, I either eat it as part of a salad or I make toast and put a sliced/mashed avocado on top with a good squeeze of lemon or lime, salt, pepper, maybe a little chilli, and eat that for lunch.

I often make baked clue cheese leeks with a crispy breadcrumb topping.
Portobello mushrooms are made for stuffing! I stuff them with a garlicky ratatouille with cous cous and top with mozerella then grill.

Tundra cabbage is a new name to me, but from a quick Google it just looks like an ordinary green cabbage.

BBC good food is good for uk-type recipes.

I've had to Google "tundra cabbage" & "helda beans".

Never heard cabbage & runners called that before !

I agree with using www.bbc.co.uk/food , but not the BBC Good Food magazine - a lot of errors there.

I'm really curious. I thought veg boxes were meant to be local & seasonal veg. Avocados?

Oven baked leek risotto has always been popular in our house, even when the dc were tiny www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/oven-baked-leek-bacon-risotto

A tundra cabbage and Savoy cabbage are basically the same. I’d use the cabbage and kohlrabi in this www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/kohlrabi-savoy-cabbage-and-lamb-bake/

It's also worth checking the website of the place you're getting the delivery from as they normally suggest recipes that use the items in each week's box.

I thought most veg box deliveries had a recipe sheet supplied with them.

If I've got veg leftover before my next shop is delivered, I roast them in the oven with spices for 40mins and blend with chicken stock, seasoning and splash of cream for a lovely soup.
