If there was ever a dish perfectly pitched for our veg boxes in the late autumn, it’s the Tuscan ribollita. I’ve long been a fan of this thick, rustic, ultra-nutritious soup of beans and veg, so was curious to see Felicity Cloake’s take on it for her regular column in The Guardian. This is a good recipe for batch-cooking too …
A baked and stuffed winter squash or pumpkin is such a gorgeous, enticing dish. With Halloween and Bonfire Night around the corner, for the filling you can’t go wrong with a smoky bean chilli (recipes abound on the web). But for something a bit different – still umami-rich and nutritious – try this dish by Sophie Gordon from the book …
Our autumn/winter squash season is now in full flow. These beautiful veg have been looking fab in the boxes lately and now you can also order a large (1.0-1.5kg) locally grown organic squash as an extra. We have collected an excellent set of squash recipes on our website over recent years. Last autumn we featured a dish which became my …
We’ve scored some brilliant squash recipes this season and here’s another winner. Published on waitrose.com and recommended by customer Sonya who says: “Absolutely gorgeous. Even my husband likes it and he’s a proper carnivore! You can make the dumplings vegan by using vegan suet and leaving out the cheese or using a cheese alternative.” Or, as suggested by Waitrose, if …
This is a cracking dish which got a rapturous review from Regather team member Jess who made it last week. It’s also the third outing of a squash+beans recipe this season, but this one with the unique flavour accent of fresh sage – and lots of it – plus plenty of garlic and white wine. Don’t forget you can still …
It’s Halloween season so crates of beautiful organic squashes are giving us a workout at Regatherand inspiring this week’s dish. Recipe from Meera Sodha’s book ‘Fresh India’. Fresh curry leaves areworth seeking out – get them at Waitrose or big Sainsburys (sometimes Ozmen has them too) andfreeze any you don’t use straight away. Serve this curry with basmati rice and …
This week at Regather it’s all about the squash… from our own Regather farm and from Sheffield Organic Growers, both in the Moss Valley. We love how autumn squashes make the veg boxes look so enticing, especially nestled in with vibrant green brassica leaves. Recipe from Diana Henry (from ‘A Change of Appetite’). She has suggestions on tweaks, e.g. to …
We’re into December! Time for the festive recipes to start. Starting off nice and easy with this gorgeous dish is by Anna Jones, veg cookery maestro. If you can’t get hold of a butternut squash, go with a dark green/grey-skinned squash with the rich orange flesh. You could even try seasonal sweet potato instead.We want to feature the ultimate festive …
The foodie media is full of post-Halloween ideas for pumpkin and squash. While it was tempting to feature a sweet treat (google “Tom Hunt’s pumpkin doughnut muffins”), we’ve gone for a wholesome savoury dish by Diana Henry using nutritious barley. This would be great with a side-dish of kale or cavolo nero stir-fried or roasted until a bit crispy.
