Organics Veg  Delivery recipe book

The Ultimate Organic Veg Delivery Recipe Book

Receiving a fixed veg box each week really does make you use seasonal vegetables to their maximum. Whether it's salad and beans during the summer months, or root vegetables during the winter, you are cooking and eating the best of what's around and maintaining optimum health benefits.

Sometimes this can be quite a challenge, especially when some of the vegetables are not quite what you are used to. This recipe book will ensure that, with a little planning and enthusiasm, there is barely any veg left at the end of each week.

With sections on shelf-life, storing and preservation, together with quality and economy of use you will soon be getting the best out of your organic veg delivery each and every week.

Within its pages you will also find ideas on keeping a basic larder and store cupboard, followed by some meal planner suggestions for you to build on and adapt if you so wish. There are also sections on 'super-foods' and 'juicing' which highlight the health benefits of fresh organic produce.

The tasty recipes (over 145) are mainly vegetarian but the book also contains a few organic meat and fish recipes. The recipe sections are:

  • soups, starter and snacks
  • salads
  • side dishes and accompaniments
  • main meals

Sample recipe

MARROW GRATIN

  • 1 marrow
  • dash of olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 garlic clove, crushed
  • 1 400g/14oz tin chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tsp mixed dried herbs
  • salt and pepper
  • 100g/4oz cheddar cheese, grated
  • 3 tbsp fresh wholemeal breadcrumbs
  • knob of butter or margarine
To Make:

1. Peel the marrow and cut in half lengthways. Remove the seeds and discard. Cut the flesh into even-size pieces (about 2cm). Peel and slice the onion.

Heat the oil in a large pan and gently fry the onion and garlic until soft, about 3-4 mins. Add the marrow, tin of tomatoes (including the juice) and dried herbs. Stir together and season with salt and pepper.

3. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer until the marrow is tender, about 30 mins. Stir occasionally. Pour the mixture into a shallow oven-proof dish.

4. Mix the breadcrumbs and grated cheese together, sprinkle over the marrow and tomato mixture. Dot with butter. Place under a preheated medium grill until golden brown, about 3 mins.

A satisfying and attractive dish which makes marrow go a long way
