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 decadent way to enjoy your leeks, braised in a rich and creamy sauce to accompany your roast.
A great alternative vegetable dish to top your roast or Christmas dinner. If you want to make it extra special, you can add white wine or sherry and cream.
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. Prepare your leeks by cutting them into long strips once they've been washed and top & tailed.
2. Melt the butter in a pan and sautee the leeks for a approx 5 minutes minutes, adding the thyme and seasoning.
3. Stir in your stock and other ingredients if you choose to use them and simmer, covered for around 10-15 minutes. (Bear in mind to allow time for alcohol to reduce if using).
4. Stir occasionally and serve when softened.
