Organic Box 30th Sept 2009
30/09/2009 by D.
fruit: conference pears, worcester apples, bananas, black lavelle grapes, mango
veg: carrots, onions, nicola potatoes, tomatoes, butternut squash, cavolo nero, aubergine, chillis
What an exciting box… now it really is beginning to feel like autumn and its not just the chilly weather! The butternut squash is definitely going to be stuffed with mascarpone and sundried tomatoes, I’ll post the recipe later this week as it really is 5 mins of prep for an absolutely stunning dinner party dish. The aubergine, tomatoes and chilli will become an aubergine pasta bake and I’m planning to create a new recipe with the cavolo nero, so watch this space! The potatoes are so lovely and thin skinned, they just have to be served with butter and black pepper or maybe in a greek potato salad (with artichoke hearts, eggs and frozen broad beans)… we shall see. The carrots will be served German style this week with some breadcrumbed fish and salad leaves. Hopefully the babies will start to leave us a pear or two to poach and have with chocolate sauce and ice cream (fairly unlikely but a girl can dream)…. what a culinary week we have in store.

German Buttered Carrots
29/09/2009 by D.
5 large carrots (or the equivalent in little ones!)
1 onion
tbsp butter
tbsp olive oil
1 vegetable stock cube
1 tbsp flour
1 cup water
Peel the carrots (if you like them peeled) and chop into rounds. Finely chop the onion. Add all the ingredients to a saucepan and stir well. Heat gently for around 40 mins with the lid on, stirring occasionally. If it gets dry or starts to stick, add a bit more water and keep a close eye on it. Its ready when the carrots are done as you like them and are surrounded by a thick buttery sauce.
This is a fantastic, quick and easy dish. Non carrot eating toddlers (and grandparents) tend to like it. Serve as a side dish when you have rice or mash based meals as the carrots are tender and come in a lovely buttery sauce. Delicious!
