Henry investigates the veg box

We have a new veg box supplier, Abel and Cole

The first box arrived this morning, and here is Henry checking it out.

Our first from Abel and Cole – broad beans, spinach, potatoes, onions, courgettes, cherry tomatoes, mango, apples, tangerines, curly cabbage.

Plenty of meals there – first thoughts are that the spinach will go into some dhal, and probably a lasagne. Pasta bake with the courgettes, or maybe a moussaka. Indian cabbage, and/or cabbage with mozzarella, or maybe even a cabbage risotto (which is surprisingly nice). Not many broad beans, so probably do them for lunch with pasta, feta and lemon.

Potatoes, tomatoes and fruit will go to general provender.

I also bought a rosemary and walnut sour dough loaf, which will be today’s lunch, with cheese and an apple.

All in all – pleased. Although I can see this could prove quite expensive quite quickly!

Further experimentation on the “what can we have for lunch” brought forth a simple and delicious dish: pasta, drizzled with good olive oil, lashings of grated parmesan, and generous quantities of torn basil leaves from the forest^H^H huge pot on the kitchen window sill.

Supper was a courgette bake – saute onions and garlic, some dried chilli, some slices of courgette. Add a can of tomatoes and cook down for ten minutes. Throw in half a glass of red wine if you have it about.

Mix with pasta, and put in an oven proof dish, top with torn basil and a chopped mozzarella, bake at gas 6 or so for 20 minutes.

We eat this a lot – it’s delicious.
