Had a friend over for dinner today, so thought I'd take the opportunity to make a meal for two using only allotment grown ingredients. But for the bread and the beer, I was entirely successful. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't feeling very pleased with myself this afternoon.
I served allotment soup (more or less what I made last week) and a new creation: allotment salad. Here's an extreme close up:
The ingredients are: nasturtium leaves and flowers, peas, blueberries, coriander, chives and mint. That's all, just thrown together. It's punchy, and went down well. I also provided a jar of fermented peas to munch alongside it. These went down even better. Andy took a jar home with him. We polished off the soup between us, and I kept the remaining portion of the salad for myself.
Nine of our "five a day" in a single meal, and all organically home grown. It doesn't get much yummier than this.
