You can’t have too many ideas for courgettes, tomatoes and aubergines at this time of year. This classic French dish is a more aesthetically pleasing version of a ratatouille – the ‘tian’ refers to the round ceramic oven dish traditionally used in Provence. There are plenty of recipe versions online but we’ve gone for one by Rachel Khoo from her …
This vegan recipe by the BOSH! guys (Henry Firth and Ian Theasby) is both summery and sustaining and it’s a great match for Regather veg box contents right now. The ‘Red’ is a nod to red wine in lieu of the traditional white for a risotto. No worries if you don’t have quite enough fresh tomato weight – perhaps bump …
Celebrate the raw with our brand new veg box option, the salad box. Expect lovely organic seasonal greens such as lettuces and other salady leaves, spinach or chard plus a selection from organic tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, avocados, peppers, spring onions, fennel, courgettes, beets and carrots. Make the most of the first organic courgettes of the Spring with this simple salad …
This week’s staff recommendation comes from a superstar who has helped steer Regather from the time when it was just little green shoots – the brilliant Rachel, who can turn her hand to almost anything. When she’s not taking care of finance and HR and working on veg box (or hundreds of other things), she’s raising a delightful doggie, Beau, …
This fresh and fragrant vegan recipe comes from Meera Sodha and makes great use of the courgettes and tomatoes frequenting our early summer veg boxes. If you don’t have quite enough courgette weight, supplement with some diced pepper. Fresh curry leaves are wonderfully aromatic and you can usually get them in Ozmen and Waitrose.
After last week’s sweet, rich and indulgent crumble recipe, this week we’re going down the healthy route. Leeks and potatoes are of course made for each other but if you’re not quite ready for soups yet, try this lovely homely gratin. If you have some tomatoes knocking around, some grilled toms would make a nice accompaniment. Recipe from thedoctorskitchen.com.
This is Meera Sodha’s take on Thai som tam salad but without the papaya: “a taste of Bangkok but via an English allotment”… hot, sour, salty, sweet, but also cold and crunchy. And it gets extra points from us for being a new way to have courgettes. Don’t forget you can buy organic limes and garlic as extras via the …
At Regather you can never have too many courgettes. This is a bit of an in-house joke but we’re sure you’re all looking for new ways to eat these faithful vegetables whose familiarity can breed not contempt but perhaps a desire for new ideas. Corn fritters are very big in the Antipodes and we think the courgette/zucchini and the chilli …
This recipe looks like a bog standard veg tagine dish but it really is lovely, greater than the sum of its parts. It works even if you don’t have a few things to hand: no fresh coriander, nuts or lemons. Plain couscous is fine. We’ve tried substituting carrots for the peppers and butter beans for the chickpeas (dice the carrots …
Regather’s new market garden at Friends’ Field in Sheffield’s Moss Valley is producing the prime ingredients for this Provençal dish. Chard and courgettes grow very contentedly in our region, as most of you with allotments will know. Serve with a simple green salad, sourdough bread and fresh sliced tomatoes drizzled with Extra Virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar and torn …
