This week’s veg box brought all the sprouts, so I thought I would try a recipe recommended to me by a friend. I was lovely, even though I didn’t have all the ingredients. And it made a great lunch. Her recipe calls for cashews, but I used almonds and mustard powder and I used regular…

tofu, brussels sprouts, black bean paste stir-fry on rice
Perhaps not the most exciting photo of the brussels sprouts from my veg box, which were adorable and picture perfect before they hit the pan, but they were still super tasty. Thanks to my veg box, and a fair bit of British encouragement, I’m a brussels sprout convert. This was a fast and yummy dinner…
flower sprout mash
This week I had the mystery veg in my box: gorgeous purple flower sprouts! This is how my veg box people describe flower sprouts “Flower sprouts are a cross between curly kale and Brussels sprouts. The flower sprouts themselves are individual little ‘flowers’, effectively Brussels sprouts which have opened out and got a curly kale…

Turns out, shepherd’s pie is a good place for random, lonely veg. Ingredients 300-400g of the protein you…
green toast
Still trying to convince myself that Brussels sprouts are awesome. Shredded sprouts sautéed with garlic, lemon, and sumac. I’ve used it as a topping for a very very green toast: smashed avocado, mixed greens, sautéed sprouts. Really this just involves cutting about a dozen Brussels sprouts finely and adding to a hot pan with some…
sprout top soup
My veg box had more sprouts, but this time the whole plant, so I set myself the task of figuring out what to do with leaves AND sprouts. This soup is the first experiment with cooking with the leaves: sprout leaves, the half dozen mushrooms from my box, tomato, rice soup. I sautéed an onion,…
shredded sprouts
This week I have a bag of Brussels sprouts. I won’t lie, they aren’t my favourite, no matter how cute they look. Today I decided to slice finely a dozen or so sprouts, and pan fry them in olive oil, a teaspoon of garlic powder, and about 1/2 teaspoon each of smoked paprika and ancho…
