This is also to say, I don't have very much in the way that is new or from the supermarket to share, so here are some things mostly from my garden and homemade.
Runner Beans turned into
Pasta Dinner
I found a packet of vegan Chorizo Sosmix
And made Vegetarian Chorizo Scotch Eggs
Here they are coated with Panko ready to be deep fried.
I also found these crisp packets in one of the cupboards, they were given to me a while back. They were terrible, that is all I am saying about them.
A puff pastry tartlet topped with courgettes and pea cream cheese base.
Homegrown peas.
Some turned into a Pea and Basil Spread/and or Dip.
I also made these Pea, Feta and Mint Crescents bookmarked from Green Seasons Cookbook by Rachel Demuth
An old favourite Roasted Purple and Green Climbing Beans with Couscous adapted from a Denis Cotter recipe.
Our neighbour knocked on the door and gave us a ramekin of homemade hummus. He told us the recipe came from Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi. It was wonderfully flavourful.
In my brothers kitchen, foraged cherries. He sent this picture to me through his mobile phone.
Your food all looks very delectable! I have always been curious about scotch eggs, and I envy your garden-fresh pea pods. I hope your time off refreshes you.

Deletehi shaheen
ReplyDeletethanks heaps for joining in this month. Love the look of that tartlet and it sounds delish. lovely produce too. and i adore hummus so that would be a winner! keep safe! xx
Thank you Sherry.
DeleteHaha! I love that final paragraph! 🤣
ReplyDeleteYour cous cous dish and crescents look particularly attractive but great to see so much of your home-grown veggies being served up.
Enjoy your leave. I feel like it’s even more needed than usual while we’re working from home. Look after yourself
Thank you Belinda. I will try, i think i am either depressed or stressed, i need to unwind and switch off and its hard to do :(
DeleteWonderful green dishes (made me miss Eat Your Greens) and great produce. Enjoy your week off!
ReplyDeleteThank you VegHog. Miss Eat Your Greens too.
DeleteLove the photos - most of it looks so delicious and, while I do like crisps, if they were old, maybe they were stale?
ReplyDeletexx
Thank you so much Joy.
DeleteThe crisp were in date and not stale, they were just not very pleasant to eat.
I'm so glad you could take another week at home!!!! You sure deserve it!
ReplyDeleteLove your pasta dinner!
How is the chorizo mix?
AH.... Walker's crisps... you make me nostalgic of my trips to the U.K. ... Remember loving the marmite flavour (of course i was the only one loving them in the family so i did not have to share ;-) ) ... and the thaï flavour
Enjoy!
Thanks so much Ephee.
DeleteTotally recommend the chorizo mix if you can get it. I have plans on using the remainder as intended for vegan sausages.
Oooh i love marmite! They are selling Marmite peanut butter here, i would be tempted to buy some but then i always have both peanut butter and marmite at home,so can make it myself.
thanks for joining in shaheen! those crisps look weird and interesting :-) I love cherries but cherry season is many months away... Hummus = yum! love your tartlet too.
ReplyDeletecheers

Lots of fantastic food coming out of your kitchen. I love all the different ways you use up your garden produce.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Phuong
DeleteCherries! One of my absolute favourite fruits. Am planning a few fruit trees for the allotment and at least 2 of them will have to be cherry. Hope you're feeling better after your week off.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tonia.
DeleteLove all the fresh produce and that hummus and pea/basil spread look amazing!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debra.
DeleteYour food looks great. I have a very similar philosophy and buy very few things from the supermarket, only staples. Thanks good ness for my garden, and frozen fruits from last autumn. what a shock the last picture was- and had to laugh. Yes, sometimes IMK can highlight too much packet food and junk food and fat stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your lovely comment Francesca.
DeleteI hope your second lot of leave does not result in you being sick, but rather refreshed. Great produce from your garden and such a pity you could not get the cherries! I've popped in via #IMK and thought I would let you know that International Scone Week is coming up soon. It would be great if you could take part.

ReplyDeleteThank you Tandy for coming by and the kind words. Thanks for letting me know about International Scone Week, I will def. make an effort to join in this time having missed out the last few times.
DeleteThose beans and peas look amazing and what a vibrant green colour! I find things like fresh produce are giving me little bursts of energy in this generally melancholic time, hope your time off is restful
ReplyDeleteThank you so much.
DeleteWhat an interesting place your kitchen and garden make! It seems a lovely place to relax - if only that was enough right now when we are missing so many other things. So much good food - you are always thoughtful about using your produce in interesting meals. Glad you have a neighbour who looks out for you with sharing food and am jealous of your brother able to forage cherries!
ReplyDeleteThank you Johanna.I too am indeed of my brothers foraged cherries. Hopefully next year i can go and forage them with him x
