Recently I've started ordering vegetable boxes, so far I've ordered from Green Earth Organics but will probably try Bockety Box to spread the love. The idea was to just get a whole load o vegetables and figure out recipes for them. It helps take away the analysis paralysis I get when given almost unlimited choice. If I have a load of veg in my fridge that needs to be used I'll figure out what to do with it and I've been really enjoying it. For the latest one I thought I'd document what I cooked with a load of vegetables.

       

This is everything I got with my order(along with some fruit off tot he side)

• Butternut Squash
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Celery
• Courgettes
• Kale Green
• Leeks
• Onions
• Red Pepper
• Potatoes
• Spinach
• Tender long-stem Broccoli
• Chestnut Mushrooms

       

Roasted Potatoes & Kale

       

This is becoming a regular lunch for me, sometimes I'll have it with fried or scrambled eggs as well. It's really simple, toss the potatoes in oil, salt & pepper. For the kale I make a quick dressing with apple cider vinegar, olive oil & garlic. Roat the potatoes for about 20 minutes and the kale for 10 - 15 the combine it and add a few dashes of hot sauce.

Butternut 'parmigiana'

       

I happened to see this on YouTube and though it looked delicious and it was. Here's the recipe. (Ottolenghi have loads of delicious sounding recipes on their site I'll be trying) I didn't use fresh tomatoes I used a can of good quality chopped tomatoes and swapped the sprigs of oregano(could not find fresh oregano in a shop here) for basil. For a side I roasted some of the tender stem broccoli™️ and drizzled it with a lemon juice, lemon zest & garlic thing. Also a bit of garlic bread, yes I know it's not authenticly Italian but it's delicious. Also taleggio cheese where have you been all my life?!
