Winter Veg

Winter Veg

We tend to get stuck in a loop with vegetables for some reason. Peas, Red Cabbage and spuds seem to have become our “Go-To” choice recently. So we thought we’d have a bit of a change yesterday. Although the Spuds are still there….

Because of the global supply network, be it a good or (more probably) bad thing the majority of regularly used vegetables are available all year round in the supermarkets and local retailers. But if you buy seasonal veg you will notice that they tend to be UK grown more often than not. This has to be a good thing surely?

So last nights veg was:-

Boiled Cabbage
Roast Parsnips
Roast Potatoes
Cauliflower

All UK grown and with a bit of slow roast Pork shoulder and home made gravy it was a meal your granny would have been proud of on a very cost effective budget.

3 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tsp of fresh Ginger, minced
1 Tsp of Chilli Flakes
125ml of Water
2 Tbsp of Chilli Sauce
2 Tsp of Soy Sauce
3 Tbsp of Sugar
1 Tbsp of Rive Wine Vinegar
1 Shallot, finely diced
Oil to fry

To garnish:-

Chopped Chilli
Spring Onion, sliced
Sesame Seeds

Method:-

(1) Fry the Shallots, Garlic and Ginger until softened
(2) Add the Water, Chilli Sauce, Soy Sauce, Rice Wine Vinegar, Sesame Oil and Chilli Flakes.
(3) Simmer for two minutes.
(4) Add the Sugar and simmer until the sauce thickens.

We served ours over boiled Rice with a little home made Kimchi and Pac Choy to add a bit of colour.
