While my favourite and default way to have green beans is simmered gently with fresh tomatoes and onion, or in a Niรงoise salad, sometimes itโs good to reach into the recipe books. This dish by Anna Jones from โOne Pot, Pan, Planetโ is totally worth a trip to a Chinese supermarket to get some Sichuan peppercorns and authentic black bean …
You canโt 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 โ the โtianโ refers to the round ceramic oven dish traditionally used in Provence. There are plenty of recipe versions online but weโve gone for one by Rachel Khoo from her …
We have a new organic crop making its debut at our Moss Valley farm and landing in veg boxes this week, fresh from the field.ย Aztec broccoli โ traditional name โhuauzontleโ โ originally hails from Mexico and dates back to pre-Columbian times.

What to do with the lovely organic broad beans and peas fresh from the farm? This dish is a version of Risi e Bisi โ traditional Venetian rice and peas. Like a slightly soupy risotto, but not requiring the constant stirring.ย The recipe is adapted from one by Henry Dimbleby and Jane Baxter โ itโs designed (pragmatically) for frozen peas …

Her lovely partner has taken on the regular task of preparing Thursday night dinners for the two of them after he pops over to Regather HQ to collect their veg box. By the time Clem arrives home, ravenous, he has transformed some of the box contents into a …
We have new-season organic green garlic (aka โwet garlicโ) going into the boxes now courtesy of Doug and the team on Regather farm and our other great local suppliers. More mild, tender and sweet than their older dried siblings, green garlic bulbs can be sliced raw into summery dishes. Last night I did a simple, delicious salad of fennel, green …
With organic cucumbers as box regulars again now, we wanted to recommend a mouth-watering dish that wasnโt a classic salad or a pickle. This recipe by the brilliant Anna Jones fits the bill. Itโs her version of a bowl of noodles at a neighbourhood Taiwanese restaurant in Los Angeles. So here we are: cucumber inspiration from Taiwan to Sheffield via …
This vegan recipe by the BOSH! guys (Henry Firth and Ian Theasby) is both summery and sustaining and itโs a great match for Regather veg box contents right now. The โRedโ is a nod to red wine in lieu of the traditional white for a risotto. No worries if you donโt have quite enough fresh tomato weight โ perhaps bump …
We are now stocking fresh organic turmeric root alongside our other lovely aromatics โ ginger, garlic and chilli. Fresh turmeric has a wonderfully musky, earthy flavour which goes beautifully with rice dishes like this delicious vegan kedgeree. Recipe from Demuths Cookery School. Soak the yellow split peas overnight to reduce cooking time and energy. Donโt be tempted to substitute red …
Last week we were enthused about well-dressed raw salad veg. This week itโs comfort eating, but starring a vegetable, of course โ organic leeks.ย If you still have wild garlic in your locale, it goes beautifully in place of the garlic cloves. Wilt a good handful of leaves (washed and chopped) into the leek mixture as it finishes cooking at …
