Toasted Quinoa Sushi
A simple spin on the usual sticky white rice sushi, this light and nutty variation uses toasted quinoa instead. Sushi is a fun way to mix-and-match your favourite post summer and autumn vegetables: capsicums, carrots, beans, mushrooms and most of all avocado. Fresh sushi tastes best, so serve shortly after rolling to keep the crunchiness of the seaweed. Enjoy with a bowl of hot miso soup sprinkled with chopped fresh spring onion.
Cream of Broccoli Soup
Please give a warm welcome to the lovely heads of broccoli which graced our vegetable boxes this week. This vibrant green soup is easy to make, hearty and will hopefully turn any broccoli sceptics into broccoli lovers. Great served with toasted croutons or bread and garnished with a sprig of fresh thyme.
Stuffed Flat Mushrooms on Polenta
I was excited to find a bag of flat mushrooms in this week’s Fair Food box as it gave me an opportunity to recreate this signature recipe from Georgia Cato’s father: barbecued flat mushrooms stuffed with a blend of fresh red chilli, garlic, italian parsley, olive oil and best of all, it reintegrates the stalks back into the filling. These hearty bites are quick and cheap to prepare and make a great accompaniment to any spring barbeque. If the weather turns nippy, just add a touch of extra chilli to spice you up.
Quick Summer spaghetti
This 15 minute pasta dish is an easy and delicious way to make use of the lovely fresh green peas, zucchini and beautiful new season local garlic.
Potato and Pea Vegetarian Croquettes
A spin on the traditional potato croquettes, the inclusion of fresh peas and spring onion make these a perfect little spring starter. They will keep well uncooked in the fridge overnight so are a great option if you’re entertaining and want to cut down prep time.
