Harvest Monday - 1st December 2014

By Mwillis
I have a couple of proper Winter veg to offer for Harvest Monday this time...
First: a basket of Parsnips (475g).

I am pleased to report that the Parsnips (even the weird-shaped one) tasted really good, cooked in the fat from a roast Duck!

Yes, some of those are potatoes!


I also pulled the last of my first batch of Leeks. They are big enough to need only one to provide a meal for the two of us.

Of course all my pics of Leeks probably look the same to you, so just to prove that this is not an old photo, here is the latest Leek posing alongside the best of that batch of Parsnips.

Harvest Monday - 1st December 2014

This week I'm also counting a much, much smaller harvest:

That tiny bunch of greenery is Leaf Celery which I have picked at a very young stage, to use as microgreens. You may have noticed it on the mango sambal which I served with yesterday's chicken curry:

It probably weighed about 1 gram, but what it lacks in weight is amply compensated for in terms of flavour!
