RE: Beans, Greens & Spuds {The Market Returns for 2020!}
Those lovely winter vegetables! Brussels sprouts - I love them and we rarely get them. Growing them is difficult - they are slow and yield is well, just not worth it.
I need to learn about kholrabi. Oh, I made a version of vichysoisse for Sunday Supper with caremelised leeks and cauliflower this week. Served at room temperature, and sprinkled with grated nutmeg. It was very well received. Recipe's on the "leeky" list...
Now that you've whet my appetite, it's time to get to the kitchen.
Each season really has its own gems from the Earth. I think as each new season starts I always think "oh, this season really is my favourite", but then it passes and I find "new" faves that I had missed while they were out of season. :)
That vichysoisse sounds lovely! Coincidentally, I couldn't help but order some giant kohlrabi to try in the garden. We grew some normal size this past year and they turned out well, but this other variety is supposed to be tender and sweet no matter how big it gets. Apparently the more common variety can get woody if you let it grow too large. Always fun to experiment with new things and have fun playing in the dirt!
kohlrabi is one of my absolute favourites - baked or raw in a salad. Love it.
Wow! That looks so interesting. After our IG chat last night, I also have to think a little differently about turnips. Both The Husband and I were force-fed them as children so they tend to be shunned. Perhaps I need to give them a "grown-up" go. Cooked differently as opposed to the mother's death boil.
You know, I think that's why I love seasons: the variety of different dishes and cooking styles that go with them. Love salads, but equally, love the roasts and the slow cooks.
