Recipes
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 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!
Root Mash
A tasty fluffy side as a healthier and hearty change from potato!
Ingredients
We've called this one 'root mash' because you can combine any of these filling vegetables to make a tasty alternative or addition to your roast, casserole or winter favourites. You may want to experiment with parsnips, celeriac and mix in some potato as well...
- 1 medium Swede
- 3-4 Carrots
- 20g Butter or oil
- Pepper/seasoning
- A tablespoon of horseradish sauce or mustard (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons of Creme Fraiche
- Parsley or chives
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. Peel and dice your chosen root vegetables and boil in a pan of water to cook, ensuring they are soft enough to mash but not overcooked or soggy.
2. Drain away the water and add the other ingredients.
3. Mix well and mash until you have a smooth, well combined mixture
4. Serve with a garnish of herbs (if you wish).
