This week we
cooked
Pasta with Carrot and Cumin
Arroz Verde
Pumpkin Pizza
Thai Carrot Salad
Fried Green Tomatoes with Yoghurt
The pasta with
carrot and cumin was a new ‘invention’ – maybe not so new as it was in fact the
dip recipe that we have used in the past. It worked very well as a pasta sauce.
As can be seen from the selection of foods in our menu, we attempted to use up a lot of the vegetables that we have been harvesting recently. We have had a good pumpkin harvest and will, I am sure be re-visiting the pumpkin pizza recipe several times this year. The addition of lots of rosemary and garlic to it makes the pizza really tasty.
The whole menu
tended to be a little ‘orange’ this week – but no-one complained about the
delicious Thai Carrot Salad – always so popular.
And we did have
green rice and fried green tomatoes to balance the orange! We harvested lots of
green tomatoes (I must remember to plant them where they are less shaded next
year!) this week.
In the garden
we have been preparing some of our raised beds for planting broad beans and
garlic. This has entailed clearing beds out (hence the harvesting of all the
green tomatoes) and re-locating some plants. We are trying to empty out our
apple crates so that they can be moved to the new garden and are establishing a
‘Perennial Bed’ for plants such as mint, parsley, chives, artichokes, bay,
rosemary, etc.
We will shortly
be getting a delivery of soil for the raised beds in the new garden. There will
be lots of work for our students to do, filling the new beds with soil so that
we can start planting.
For the last
two weeks of term we will be cooking
Pasta with a Vegetable Sauce
Curried Eggs
Pizza of the Imagination
Pumpkin and Spinach Salad
Salad of the Imagination
Lots of
opportunity to use up all our vegetables before the holidays!
