It is true! So we need to...It is just the teenager and I this evening and we are looking for nutrition rather than style in our dinner...We have quiche of courgette and carrot made last week and frozen...One of my favourite 'vegetable medleys'* that has many guises...tonight it is just a carrot, two small potatoes and some frozen peas with some jar mayo...homemade macedoine :-) ...And then the wild garlic...I approached it like buttered spinach...wilted in a pan...then I went off piste with it and added sultanas...Don't laugh! they really did add something...It was good but the wild garlic remained 'chewy' according to the teenager... although she did eat it all...I reckon we got our 'five a day! 'I am aware photographing my plates that we always eat off the worst china we have...It should break soon and then we can use some nicer plates...
* vegetable medley I use this in a lot of my recipes and it is simple... depending on what I have and what I am doing it varies...At it's most basic it contains carrots potatoes and 'something' green...It can also have cauliflower, broccoli, turnip...I start with peeled chopped carrot...sometimes circles, sometimes chunks...put into cold water and bring to the boil...then add the potato cut into similar sized chunks...when that comes to the boil add cauliflower...basically keep adding your veg based on how long it takes to cook...If my 'green' is frozen peas as it was this evening they get added last then switch off the heat and drain the veg...Sometimes I just turn it into macedoine with jar mayo...sometimes I make my own mayo...sometimes I use an oil and garlic sauce...I also use this method to make a vegetable korma...
