with Rosie at LoveJars
Our recipe section has a range of home-style cooking and meal ideas to use those delicious organic vegetables you have worked so hard to grow. Now time to reap the benefits!
You can of course, use our recipes as a guide and tweak them to suit your own tastes. They are in the main, written by somebody who loves food and doesn't measure anything (Carrie) so we hope you enjoy our 'rustic' take on the selection of dishes here. We have recipes by vegetable, fruit, nuts or herbs and soups, which are extremely versatile as well as some fabulous and inspiring Canning & Preserving recipes and information from our lovely friend at LoveJars - Rosie.
You can also submit your recipes and we will share them on our Growers' Recipes section!
A delicious warm start to the day, you can bake and store for the busy week ahead and eat on the go too.
Quick and simple to make and you can fill your muffins with anything you please - asparagus, peas, broccoli florets to name a few and if you like to include some 'protein' you could add bacon pieces, sausage slices and more. Feta chunks work well too. How about a sprinkle of herbs or spices? For a sweet morning treat you can use banana and other fruits. Please create your own chosen muffins, with a little help from us.
Please note that our recipes are an approximate guideline - Quantities along with ingredients are totally adaptable to suit personal taste, consistency and density as well as portion sizes.
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c and grease or line a muffin tin.
2. If you're including vegetables, par-boil in a saucepan of water for approx 10 minutes.
3. If your including meats, fry them off in a little oil for a few minutes first before baking.
4. Beat the eggs in a bowl, adding some salt and pepper - spices or herbs too if you wish!
5. Divide your fillings by adding a few of each in each individual muffin case and then pour over your egg mixture equally to top up the muffins. You might also want to add a small handful of grated cheese.
6. Bake in the oven for approx 20 minutes or until golden and risen.
7. Allow to cool and garnish with some fresh herb leaves or sliced tomato...or a topping of your choice.
8. Serve with a side salad or munch on the go! You can store them in the fridge for a few days in an airtight container.
