So last night's supper was chopped up fried sausage, chopped squash, onions, tomatoes fried together for about 20 minutes. I added kale cut into small strips in the last 5 minutes. I also added some left over tomato salad dressing as the sauce and some chillie flakes (from home grown chillies that I grow on our bathroom windowsill) and just before serving I add turnip peelings - as an alternative to pasta. I just stirred through so it soaked up the sauce for about 30 seconds and then served.
Turnip peelings sounds like a waste product but it really isn't. It's one of the most yummy things you can do with turnip! First peel away the top layer of your turnip in the usual way and disgard this bit (I feed this bit to my rabbits). Once it looks all white carry on peeling your turnip but save these peelings to eat yourself. It's great in salads or in the fried veg dish I cooked last night.
Today, Sam and I went back to the allotment at lunch time. I got a bit of childish excitement wondering what I'll be going home with today. I'm a bit short on veg this week as we haven't bought veg for the last few weeks due to lack of planning with our shopping. So today's haul has been enough salad potatoes to make a potato salad - I'll make home made mayo to go with this. Also, as I cut back the rat tail radish bush an envelope's worth of rat tail radish for tonight's salad.
I've noticed I'm starting to plan what I'll cook next based on what I'm likely to be able to raid from the allotment and the home veg patch!
