Harvest Monday - 22nd December 2014

Latest post from MARKSVEGPLOT – a blog about food and gardening in England”

Well, the only thing I have harvested from the garden this week was salad. Having said that, it was quite an impressive salad, even though I say it myself:

I didn’t pick much of any one thing, because I wanted to have as wide a selection as possible. I managed to find lettuce, radicchio, endive, rocket, mizuna, chervil, mustard, leaf celery, chicory and land-cress.

That lovely lot provided the perfect accompaniment to some steaks we ate on Saturday.

If you haven’t already seen my post about that meal, you can access it HERE.

I doubt that I will be joining Harvest Monday next week (I’m not even sure if Daphne is going to run it anyway), so let me take this opportunity to wish all fellow “Harvesters” a Happy Christmas. Relax, be happy and most importantly – eat well!

P.S. Just wanted to include this photo:

Those potatoes are cooked in the fat left over from our Roast Goose last Friday. Crispy on the outside, but still soft and fluffy inside. So good!
