My friend and I had the same great idea to make use of our juice pulp! I use my vegbox oranges to make juice, then used the pulp in some carrot parsnip soup. It was a nice bright addition to a warming winter soup. Here is what I did. I sautéed in oil an onion…

cabbage pie
I had a lovely head of cabbage in my veg box and decided to make Smitten Kitchen’s fuss free spanakopita, but swap cabbage for spinach and use rich smokey spices. For the spices, I used 1tsp smoked paprika, 2tsps of Dijon mustard, 1 tsp allspice, as much garlic as you like, and 1 tsp Aleppo…
pumpkin, peppers and barley with harissa
This is delicious. I’m glad I have a lot of it because it is really delicious. I was trying to figure out what to do with the adorable little pumpkin from my vegbox and I decided to roast it with some vegbox peppers and onions to make a barley salad with a harissa dressing. It…
masala baked beans on toast
I’ve made this before, but since I’m on a Mera Sodha kick, I’ll post today’s picture of masala baked beans on toast. It is a fine fine way to jazz up a tin of tired baked beans with a few pantry spices, tomato paste, a veg box onion, and some green chillies and garlic. The…
potato and kale with coriander chutney and pudla
I had some lovely kale and potatoes in my veg box so I decided to make Mera Sodha’s Pakistani style spinach and potatoes, but using kale rather than spinach. It worked out really well, I just chopped my kale finely and sautéed it with the onions. This is hugely moreish and hard not to have…

soup hack
So, I had a beautiful head of broccoli and some potatoes in my veg box and so I decided to try a soup hack I had read on Cooks Illustrated about how to make your creamy veg soup more velvety. They suggest adding 1/2 teaspoon of sodium bicarbonate to your veg while you are boiling…
ottolenghi’s cauliflower korma wraps
It tastes a whole lot better than it looks, I promise! I had a small cauliflower in my veg box this week and decided to try this recipe, but instead of tofu, I added some veg box carrots and potatoes. This was absolutely marvellous. However, I did make the following changes. I didn’t do the…
spinach pie
A good friend of mine has made this lovely pie for me many times and I’ve finally got around to making it for myself. This is easy and delicious. I make it in my big cast iron pan. My stomach isn’t great with the volume of alliums in the original recipe, so I’ve reduced it…
