As you probably know, I farm a small organic farm with my partner Lee. We raise chickens, cattle, sheep, pigs, and grow vegetables, and deliver our produce locally through our organic box scheme.
These are just some ideas and an insight into the way we us the box at home.
My normal plan is to prep up the whole box when it arrives. If you have read any of my other posts you will have gathered that my plan for world domination is firstly to organise my own life, my fridge, and then take over the world. So I guess we are all pretty safe, for now!
This week I have made from the veg box:
- Potato and nettle soup (nettles out of the fields)
- Red cabbage coleslaw (using half a red cabbage, one grated carrot, and mayonnaise) to go with the salad bag, and eaten with cold meat or burgers, and possibly a potato rosti
- Purple sprouting broccoli and cauliflower gratin, with an oat, bread crumb and herb crust ( great kids tea or late supper dish)
- Carrot and onion bhajis (one carrot and one onion makes 8 bhajis), served with some homemade pickle.
