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!
Christmas Bubble and Squeak
Growers hate to waste leftover veggies (and turkey!) A winter warming easy meal to use it up.
Ingredients
An easy post Christmas dinner, chuck it all into one pan!
- 3–4 tbsp turkey fat from the gravy, or a tablespoon butter
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 300g brussels sprouts, chopped
- 500-600g leftover roast potatoes, parsnips, carrots or any other vegetables (pre-cooked)
- Seasoning
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.
Method
1. Fry off the onions in a pan with the melted butter for a few minutes until softened.
2. Add in the chopped spouts and caramelise.
3. Mash together your leftover veggies in a bowl with seasoning and any herbs such as thyme, rosemary or parsley to add plus some turkey fat/stock for added flavour.
4. Add your mixture to the pan and spread out, cook until you have a crispy golden coating, turning occasionally.
5. Serve with some ham or leftover turkey!
