Given that this is the heart of the traditional “Hungry Gap” period for British seasonal vegetables we continue to produce really good stuff from the COCA field and polytunnel.  However our own Parsnips, Onions, Beetroots and Carrots are now finished, but new crops are in the ground, and the polytunnel is producing small quantities of salads and greens.  We will continue to buy in a few quality organic veggies each week until our own produce comes on stream again …… but thank you for your patience and continued support for Caerhys Organic Community Agriculture.

Try an oriental taste to any cooked greens by toasting cumin seeds, turmeric and black mustard seed in a med hot pan for 2 minutes; add a little oil and fry up a chopped deseeded red chilli, 2oz cashew nuts and 1 oz  currants for 1 minute. Then add the washed and chopped greens (either sprouting broc or chard or spring greens) and mix and stir continuously in the hot pan til they wilt and cook down a little. Serve immediately with a splash of Thai Fish Sauce or Soy Sauce …. serve as an accompaniment to a main dish or with just rice or have as a side-dish to a curry with naan bread.
