Today we are eating our first more or less complete meal from the garden this year. Ive been picking and eating lettuce, plus new potatoes a handful of strawberries and raspberries ect...
But today we have a almost grown by us meal... the only thing I bought was chorizo sausage..and a tomato.
We are having a kind of 'one pot wonder' casserole type thing...
Sliced chorizo in the bottom, onion, baby carrots, broad beans, a nice handful of our first green beans chopped, a couple of our chopped baby courgettes, a couple of good handfuls of the pebble potatoes, a chopped tomato, a stock cube, a few herbs , and put in the oven for a couple of hours, served with the wilted leaves of some first pickings of baby beetroot Im pickling later... yummy.
Pebble potatoes, are what I call all those teeny tiny ones that are only as big as large peas ... I save them all for casseroles ect...
I always save the good leaves from the beetroot to eat instead of spinach, cooked in the same way, wilted with a knob of butter, its better and much nicer than spinach...
