Harvesting Dinner

Well, I think we're getting there!

Bar the bbq meat (and ginger, butter and oil), tonight's dinner was entirely from our garden.

I had cabbage, cauliflower (unfortunately left a few days too long and started to go to seed), onions, garlic, beans*, potatoes and carrots to make a meal from.

I sauteed up the cabbage, cauli, beans and onion with garlic and ginger. The kids ate the carrots raw.

I then sliced up the potatoes, drizzled butter over them and baked till cooked.

Simple and yummy!

*The beans were a lovely wee surprise I discovered a few weeks back hiding in amongst my corn and pumpkins as part of the Three Sisters. It was just a small bushy plant, unlike my other scarlett runner beans. These are Borlotti Fire Tongue beans and I decided to harvest them quite young and still tender so they could be lightly cooked. If left to mature they will deepen in colour, plump up and become tough and more suitable for drying.
