Not only are carrots a delicious and useful staple vegetable, but they are also a great source of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium and antioxidants. They are sweet, versatile and the organic ones we source and grow have the best flavor. Fantastic raw or cooked, there's no need to peel our organic ones, just give them a good scrub and they are ready to eat.
Recipe Ideas:
- Chop into coins and steam or lengthways into halves or quarters and roast them as a side to many meals.
- Finely dice them and gently sauté with olive oil, onions, garlic and celery for a rounded, stocky base to soups, stews, risottos, pasta sauces...
- You've all had carrot cake but have you ever tried a Raw Carrot Cake? Have a look at our recipe which is flour-free and uses a whopping 600g of carrots! You'll need walnuts, dates and desiccated coconut too.
- Try our Butterbean Barleyotto topped with roasted carrots and carrot top pesto if you get carrots with their green, leafy tops (these are only available early in the season before we start to store them). Eating the whole vegetables, root to shoot, is very important to us as it's a great way to avoid food waste, it's more economical and it's better for our bodies. The peels and trimmings we throw in the compost are often the part of the vegetable with the highest dietary fiber and nutrients.
- For a really special breakfast, make these Smoked Carrot strips which turn out a lot like smoked salmon.
Cauliflowers are one of the most versatile vegetables out there. Once simply boiled and relegated to the side of the plate, cauliflower is now the captain of the vegetable patch! If you've got a need for a vegetable to pretend to be something it's not (eg rice, cous cous, steak, pizza base, fried chicken...) cauliflower is your man and it's a beautiful blank canvas to slather with herbs and spices. As well as being high in fiber, cauliflower (along with it's green cousin, broccoli) is one of the only vegetables which contains choline, an essential nutrient that many people are deficient in.
Recipe Ideas:
- The curds, core and leaves are all edible. Cook the core, thinly sliced, along with whatever cauliflower dish you are making or add it to stir fries. The leaves are also great in with your cauliflower dish, thinly sliced and stir fried or roasted with olive oil and seasoning.
- Check out our baked biryani recipe which includes a layer of cauliflower on top of the rice.
- In our first '4 Ways With...' series episode we covered cauliflower. Have a look at the recipes here which include Curried Cauliflower Fritters, Vegan Cauliflower Cheese, a Roast Cauliflower Salad and a grain free Winter Tabbouleh.
- Dunk chunks in seasoned batter and deep fry. Serve with a crunchy slaw, chips and dips.
