Let’s face it, most Christmas cooking is meat roasts and sweet things – from puddings and cookies to mulled wines and eggnog – but how can we make sure we’re putting our veg to good use over the festive season?
When integrating sustainable food into our lives, it’s often difficult to use everything in our cooking and this is especially the case when it comes to tricky veg like beetroot or unfamiliar veg like fennel.
At Green Connect farm, we’re really passionate about making fair food accessible to as many people as possible and part of this is providing our community with meal ideas to help them get through their veg box. Normally we include one recipe every week, but with Christmas coming around we know there’s a lot more cooking to do.
So, this month, we’re going to cover a variety of Christmas recipes that include the local, chemical-free veg we produce, so you don’t have to “umm” and “ahh” in the kitchen before your guests arrive!
In particular we are looking at different ways to use broccoli, silver beet (and other leafy greens), beetroot, and fennel. Let us know if there are any other veg that you have trouble with!
