Just the thought of a fragrant Thai curry sets the mouth watering. The beauty of this recipe – by the BOSH! team, Henry Firth and Ian Theasby – is that you can be pretty flexible with the summer veg elements, guided by your veg box (of course!). Of the veg listed, we’d say tomatoes and mushrooms are vital to the …
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 …
It goes without saying that it’s too hot to be standing at the hob or oven much. Lately I’ve been doing the bare minimum of cooking, in the cool of the very early morning – preparing potatoes or grains ready for salads in the evening. Tomatoes and cucumbers are regulars on the table. They are, of course, delicious plain (with …
We have new-season organic green garlic (aka ‘wet garlic’) 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 …
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 …
The end of Ramadan is fast approaching and Eid al-Fitr celebrations begin on 2nd May so our recipe this week is inspired by the feasting! We’ve chosen a dish from a feature by food blogger Izzah at Tea for Turmeric on traditional Pakistani Eid recipes. For this vegan Aloo Baingan, use organic potatoes, onions and an aubergine from the veg …
Tomato seedlings are growing vigorously in local greenhouses. Until they’re fruiting, we’re glad we have lovely organic toms in the veg box via our great suppliers. Here’s a dish by Meera Sodha (from the book ‘Fresh India’) for a leisurely weekend breakfast or lunch. An uttapam is like a cross between a pancake and a crumpet – what’s not to …
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 …
In the week before the feasting begins, give your seasonal organic sprouts and other veg the healthy treatment in an easy tray-bake. Recipe adapted from Rukmini Iyer’s book The Green Roasting Tin. The beauty of this recipe is that you can sub and swap veg as you wish. I recently made it with halved sprouts and lots of carrot batons …
A lovely simple summer recipe from our very own green-fingered gardening guru Fran Halsall this week. Fran runs the Lansdowne Estate Gardening Club on Sunday mornings – community gardening workshops with Regather’s neighbours. You can see the fruits of their work in the raised beds and green spaces around our premises in Sharrow as well as new planting areas on …
