  • What I ate today from the garden/plot

    Show or tell us what you've eaten today using fruit/veg you've grown - even if its just one ingredient. Maybe a salad, sandwich or a three course meal!
    New ideas always welcome, especially with photos
    Come on, make us hungry

    Still munching through the tomatoes. Today I had them sliced on top of Jacobs crackers and Red Leicester cheese. Better than cheese and tomato sarnies IMO - nice, buttery crunch.
    LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden. Winter update: currently growing overwintering onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, salad leaves, kale, cabbage, radish, beetroot, garlic, broccoli raab, some herbs.

      For lunch i had tomatoes, lettuce, spring onions and a bit of chilli thrown just to give it a bite. All home grown.
      Tonight it will be Orla potatoes but the veg will be shop bought.

      And when your back stops aching,
      And your hands begin to harden.
      You will find yourself a partner,
      In the glory of the garden.

        Today I had a salad of lettuce, tomatoes, radishes, banana peppers, cucumber and hard boiled eggs, with tomato and red pepper chutney - all home grown and this evening had venison (shot by a workmate), with home grown roast potatoes, carrots and runner beans, with melon and strawberries for pud - also home grown.
        PS The Roe Deer are a serious problem in Lincolnshire due to their increasing numbers and my workmate assures me that he picks his kill very carefully.

            Believe it or not, I used a single onion at tea time. Onion and red pepper chopped and fried up with some mince, Lee and Perrins added just before serving with a sachet of Tilda's steamed rice with sun dried tomatoes. Luffly

                For breakfast I had a slice of melon (Emir, at long last I got a couple) and porridge smothered with honey and alpine strawberries (Alexandria) . Fruit from my garden, honey from local beekeeper.

                Lunch, home made tortilla wraps with sliced tomatoes (federle), ox horn pepper, red onion and a salad mix of baby leaf thinnings of beetroot, pak choi, Chinese mustard, endive, sorrel, coriander and wild rocket.

                Dinner; Potatoes (Duke of York), Broccoli, sautéed wood-pigeon breast with sauce made from the pigeon giblets and pigeon stock and spiced up with a chilli pepper (7 pot red). For desert; diced apple, hazelnuts, alpine strawberries covered with a home made goat's milk yoghurt flavoured with cape gooseberry jam. ( Milk surplus from local farmer)
                The only things I bought were the porridge oats, flour for tortillas and the sugar for the cape gooseberry jam, wood pigeons were a by product of a local shoot.

                  Some olive oil, milk, cheese and a smidge of lamb from the Co op


                  YUM!

                          I made a lamb curry in my slow cooker adding home grown squash, leeks, onions, spinach and tomatoes - beautiful. I love my slow cooker

                            Right now I'm eating mushroom and garlic stuffed chicken breasts with leeks from the garden (sweated down some sliced leeks in a knob of butter, seasoned and added a tub of half fat creme fraiche) and roast tatties and parsnips also from the garden.
