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!
Hasselback Potatoes
A flavoursome favourite to accompany steak, fish, chicken or loaded on their own - why not add to your BBQ spread this summer!
Ingredients
A simple dish but you can get really creative - top with melted cheese, spicy chorizo, bacon, chilli - the list is endless!
- 4 baking Potatoes or 8-12 medium potatoes
- 2 Crushed Garlic Cloves
- Butter
- Seasoning
- Cheese, chosen toppings
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. Pre-heat your oven to 180c and wash your potatoes, leaving them skin on.
2. Cut down about 3/4 and a few mm apart so that each potato is 'fan-like' and place on a baking tray.
3. Mix your crushed garlic with butter and pour over the potatoes and season well.
4. Place in the middle of your oven for approx one hour until crisp and cooked.
5. Add your grated cheese and any hot toppings and replace in the oven for a few minutes until melted. (While the potatoes are cooking, you will need to fry-off bacon, meats etc first).
6. Serve with salad or a medley of mediterranean vegetables along with your meat/fish.
