Vegetable Scones
It is a Boxing Day tradition in our house to make savoury scones with leftover veg from Christmas Day.
This is a simple recipe that uses leftover mashed vegetables and cheese to make a tasty scone – great served with (more) cheese or with a nice chunky soup (made with leftovers of course)!

Corned beef hash with potatoes and root vegetables.
Winter is such a fab time for tasty veg on the allotment. One of my favourite winter vegetables are parsnips. Easy to grow (once you get them germinated!) and they can be stored in the ground right through till early Spring which means easy access to a great ingredient for winter cooking!
Last week I dug up this rather large parsnip. The variety is Gladiator which is very reliable. Grown in a ‘no dig’ bed, started in toilet rolls and transplanted – all the ‘no goes’ of traditional gardening methods! Another blog post maybe?
After a Sunday roast, and leftovers made into soup, I still had 3/4 of the beast left so I have a few meals planned this week to use the rest!
