Oh Heck

Roast a slab of cow
heave in a few potatoes to roast
slap a bag of peas in the microwave
then

shed the outers leaves and cut an X in the bottom of the sprouts. Totally submerge them boiling water with a quater teaspoon of salt and a heavy pinch of baking soda, keep them there till the cores are soft and the heads are what my daughter describes as ’slimy’. Drain and use the water to make gravey. As good a sunday roast as you can get.

For extra flavour, mix up some sage and onion stuffing in the normal way, then mix that in with four times the volume of mashed potatoes. Pop this in the oven for the last half hour of the meat cooking, and leave there while you rest the beef.

“I planted a six-pack of seedlings and now have an overabundance of sprouts. ”

Lightly steamed, lots of pepper. Can’t think of anything clever to do with them other than giving them to your neighbours.

Got it, use silverbeet where the recipe says spinach. Same as using leeks where the recipe says onions. Which brings me to brussel sprouts. I planted a six-pack of seedlings and now have an overabundance of sprouts. 101 recipes for brussel spouts, anyone?

I’ve got nothing against silverbeet; I steam it then sprinkle with toasted seeds, bread crumbs & a little cheese but I will swop it any day for steamed puha.
Strait from soil to pot is the secret.
Enbalmed food is the devils invention.

No, but The New Farm Cookbook is essential for vegans or those entertaining vegans.
