Ready steady cook

Kale is nice braised with onions and toasted almond slivers served with fish. You could make a lovely stuffed butternut squash or a Thai style curry. Mixed vegetables and barley risotto is gorgeous with meat fish or on its own.

Nice selection there.
To get away from soups, have you ever made your own cauliflower rice or couscous? You could then chuck it in a skillet with the kale, broccoli and mushrooms like a sort of stir fry.

Good idea! I was wondering what to do with the kale.

Are they still slightly crispy?

I'll try most things.

I'm off to cook the beetroot. My partner eats it with anything! I'm slightly annoyed because I bought some yesterday, so he's going to have loads of it this weekend!

Another vote for soup here. We made soup yesterday with a few potatoes, carrots and onions we had left over. We added some lentils and it was delicious.

Sounds good! Thanks!

Last week there was a surplus of lettuces, so I've had lettuce soup nearly every day for lunch. Butternut squash soup will make a nice change.

To save you from endless soup:

If you ever get those little gem lettuces - I half them lengthways, cut side down brown in butter, small amount of veg stock, handful of frozen peas, pinch of dried herbs, seasoning, then simmer for a few minutes.

Lots of soups there growstuff. Have you tried curried parsnip soup? It is very nice.

I've seen a recipe for it. Would curried butternut squash soup work?

Thanks!

I think I'm going to be busy today - hope I have enough room in the freezer for all this soup.

What a lovely array of foods!

I roast a load of root vegetables with garlic and olive oil, similar to your collection - ate some that day and the next, plus 2 portions in the freezer.
