Tomato, courgette & chilli flatbreads
Flatbreads made with self raising flour and cooked on a griddle or cast iron pan are super easy, quick & cost pennies. You can make this type of flatbread straight from self raising flour and water, but adding some veggies and spice can really turn these into something special!
Creamy Garlic Courgette & Cucumber Soup
Courgette and Cucumber may not be your first thought when thinking about making soup, but they have a great texture and absorb other flavours well.
Chilli Cheese Balls
We are not self-sufficient, but we do pretty well! One of the key ways to make your harvests last is to make items you can store that you can call on in the winter months. When we first started growing, I found myself freezing bags and bags of veg and then still having alot of this left in the spring. Obviously I do freeze and can veg – being able to pull out some carrots and beans to steam in January is super, but having food stuffs you can pop into the oven from frozen means quick suppers, snacks and even food for parties! Chilli cheese balls are my most favourite party food: easy to make, taste great cold or hot and uses up all the odds and ends of bread too!
Rainbow beetroot salad
Grated colourful veg with a light dressing.
Courgette, pea & kale fritters with feta.
Courgette fritters (of variations) are one of my favourite early summer treats. However, this year I am still waiting for courgettes!! Shocking really as usually I am swimming in them by now. The cold period in the end of May/early June meant that all my squash and courgette plants have been sulking. They are just starting to pick up now (finally!); maybe in a few weeks I can join the cries of other allotmenteers of “Oh no, not another courgette!”
