What's Cooking Today??

And here was my old mother shouting at the five year old me “Eat yer goddam greens!”

 

Made some more soup from our pumpkins, onions, parsley and garlic. Put some in the freezer for another day. We needed the soup as it has become so cold and it helps us to warm up.

 

I like cavolo nero but it tastes quite salty to me. I assume there's a high level of something or other in it.

 

Maybe how you cook it? It's high in fibre, calcium, iron and potassium but low in sodium.

 

I just boil it in water or steam it. Nothing added at all. @Obelix-Vendée
Maybe it's the potassium.

 

Could be. If serving it "neat", I tend to cook mine in a shallow pan with a knob of butter, a good twist from the pepper mill and a teeny bit of water and it's always luscious or I might spice it up a bit like this - Curly kale (or cavolo nero) with rosemary and chilli recipe

I also like to cook it like this - Moroccan chickpea, squash & cavolo nero stew

 

Foraged some winter chanterelles yesterday so made an omelette. Mushroom, onion, chilli, garlic and ham omelette to be more precise



I need to strip ye olde frying pan, it has a bit too much carbon buildup now

 

No mushrooms here as Possum thinks she doesn't like them. OH will be having dinner with pals after a golf competition so Possum and I will have duck breast with plum sauce, gratin dauphinois, cavolo nero and peas.
