what you cooking tonight
« on: November 04, 2008, 16:30:31 »
was wondering if this thread could be kept going regularly enough to see what we all cook with our harvested foods  :)

I managed to salvage some fennel bulbs and will be making fennel, chilli and ricotta risotto - it's a jamie oliver recipe and very nice, simple to make + blueberry and apple crumble for pud

Tonight I am serving mushroom pasta with broccoli and spinach followed by Jane's hotpot of apples & mincemeat served with Greek yogurt - a Sarah Raven Recipe. The shallots,garlic, broccoli, spinach and apples are home grown. I am rather pleased with myself seeing it in black & white (well black & blue).
I had used to make my own yogurt but don't seem to have had time this year - must try harder story of my life.

Farmers market lamb chops roasted with our garlic, rosemary and onions.  Served with our potatos, sauteed, our peas, and I'm not cooking it.  It smells deeeeeeelish (and I know it will be)

waitrose sell the most amazing small hebridean crabs and as we have masses of salads in the green house I will be making a mizuna, mibuna and mustard leaf salad with some radicchio out of the ground and tomatoes from the few we have left to go with the lovely little crabs

not sure about pudding but we have so many apples to get through  :D
