Ingredients
|
(Serves 4 as a side)
1 medium onion, chopped
800g potatoes, cubed
400g carrots, sliced
1 small head of cabbage, or 1 bunch of chard, or 200g kale
250g sour cream / firm yogurt / cottage or cream cheese
Salt and pepper
Paprika
Lightly toasted seeds of your choice |
|
|
|
Method
|
Boil the potatoes and steam the carrots above them, until both are tender enough to mash.
Meanwhile, prepare the greens, depending on what kind you have. Steam cabbage sliced into short strips, stem the chard, lightly saute the stems first and add the leaves for the last minute, or roughly chop and then wilt the kale in a covered frying pan for two minutes.
Mash the potatoes and carrots together with the cheese / cream, stir in the winter greens and seasoning to taste.
Sprinkle with a dusting of paprika and some lightly toasted seeds, if you like, and then bake uncovered for 20 minutes until the top is starting to brown.
Serve hot as a side dish. |

"I was messing around with vegetables in the vegetable box and came up with this with what I had in my fridge and cupboard."
That's exactly our kind of cooking, Sybil! |

Pink Mash
This recipe for beetroot pink mash is vibrant, packed with nutrients and really tasty. It's a great way to experiment with fresh beetroot. Why not give it a go? Thanks to Natasha Mangion for sending this in!
Natasha says: "My friend Karen & I went through a stage where we were interested in Chakras and colour therapies and we used to experiment with what we called 'Chakra Cooking'. This recipe is both fun and Very colourful and really gets you in touch with your Base Chakra which is Red.
I just like it because it's an interesting way to liven up mashed potato and it really looks striking!! Nice and bright on those dark winter days!
It's also a great way to get kids to eat veg."

Beetroot Soup (Borscht)
This recipe is a great way of using end of season beetroot. It is simple and delicious - just beware its staining potential!
The potatoes are optional and aren't usually included in the traditional Borscht recipe, but they help thicken the soup, which makes it less messy for kids to eat. |

Warm Beetroot, Broad Bean and Potato Salad
This recipe was submitted by Karen L, who says:
"I looked in my fridge and had a lot of the above and didn't know what to do with it all. I'm sorry I don't measure the ingredients I just bung it all together and its what I have to hand, however the result is a very tasty mess! I used to hate broad beans, having been forced to eat them as a child, but i find if they are skinned they are actually quote tasty. Its nice to eat a meal were all the ingredients were grown on my allotment."
You put us to shame, Karen - this is a wonderful creation and all the more exciting given that you grew all the ingredients! |

Pumpkin Or Butternut Squash Soup
This is a great autumn lunchtime soup. We end up making it on Saturday lunchtimes, usually when it's raining! It really is as simple as chop the veggies, cook them in the butter, add the stock and then leave it. |

Mustard Cabbage
Wholegrain mustard transforms cabbage into an inspiring side-dish. By sautéing the cabbage in butter, rather than boiling, it tastes sweeter and less cabbage-like. So this recipe might even tempt devout cabbage-haters back to the dinner table. |
|
Black Nero Cabbage Soup
I must confess I never thought I would fall for "cabbage soup"!
So I was really surprised by how delicious this recipe is. Even my toddler came back for third helpings, which is unheard of...
Note: you can use kale or Savoy cabbage, too. |
|
Kale Pesto Pasta
This is a brilliant way of sneaking kale past fussy eaters. The garlic helps reduce the bitterness of the kale and the pine nuts add a sweet, nutty flavour. It also works well with spinach, chard or black nero cabbage. |
|
Kale And Roquefort Parcels
If you’ve got an excess of kale and a household that’s close to being fed up of eating it, here’s a recipe that should inspire them again. Or see the variations for ideas with chard or spinach. |
|
Spinach And Potato Curry
If you've got some spare spinach and fancy a filling evening meal, this one is easy to make. It's similar to the Indian Sag Aloo. It also works well with Swiss chard, instead of spinach. |

Satisfying Salad of Carrot, Beetroot and Balsamic Vinegar
This fabulous combo was sent into us by Karina L in New Zealand. Karina says:
"I saw a woman eating it one day and it looked scrummy so I asked her what it was. It's a very good liver cleanser, apparently!"
We love that you asked her what it was, Karina, and we're delighted that you did. |

Broad Beans Quinoa
This is a delicious recipe for both broad beans and quinoa. It takes less than 15 minutes to make and works well as a delicious lunch or a summer party dish. |
|
Sprouting Broccoli Stir Fry
This is a great way of using in-season sprouting broccoli and end-of-season, stored carrots. My favourite way of eating this is with Thai-style bean curd, but firm tofu or Halloumi cheese both work well, too. It’s a really quick meal – just 10 minutes – yet is filling and tasty. |
|
Thai Style Squash Curry
This curry is easy to make and pretty quick. Just make the paste, chop the veggies and cook it all in a wok (or large frying pan) with the coconut milk. Works well with pumpkin, too. |
|
Mini Carrot Cakes
This carrot cake recipe takes just ½ an hour from start to eating and they're really easy to make. Kids love them and the grown-ups don't take much persuading either! So if you've got some carrots to use up, it's time to get baking.
Top tip: These are great for Hallowe'en or a bonfire night party! |
|
Maple Glazed Carrots
Rather than just boiling your carrots, why not roast them with an orange and maple syrup glaze? Great for winter carrots that need a bit of extra sweetness. |
