What would you do with.....??? - Veggie - 22-11-2024
I've picked up another random selection of FREE food from the Prawn Lady so I thought I'd ask you for suggestions on how you would use it! Quite challenging today.
Avocado x 9
Celery heads x 2
Lemons x 9
Herbs - Mint, Dill, Parsley
Rainbow carrots
Small pots of Sage butter (for pasta) x 4
Wholemeal loaf.
PS I'm not a big fan of celery!

Veggie I’d make a dip using avocados, lemons and herbs. Cut the carrots into batons then turn your bread into toasted soldiers.
Everything else including the avocados can be frozen.
RE: What would you do with.....??? - Veggie - 22-11-2024
Thanks Bren. I've never frozen avocado. Must look into it - not that I have any room in the freezers at the moment.

I made something loosely based on this recipe for Celery & Stilton au Gratin. https://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/collections/recipes-for-2/celery-and-stilton-au-gratin
I say "loosely" as I cooked some celery, added some St Agur blue cheese and sage butter, bunged it in the microwave, and crumbled some chilli Doritos on top instead of breadcrumbs.

celery heads- feed to mr hungry
lemons - make lemon curd/lemon meringue pie
herbs - chop & freeze in ice cubes or dehydrate
rainbow carrots- store quite well fresh, but if you have lots. Freeze / dehydrate
sage butter- probably have pasta every other night until it was used ( love pasta) possibly add some of the carrots.
wholemeal loaf - maybe avocado on toast,

Celery - I'd braise in stock and try it with some of the sage butter.
Lemons - lemon drizzle cake, lemonade in the summer, curd too although I do a mean lemon meringue roulade.
Herbs - would get used randomly on anything that needed flavour.
Rainbow carrots - glazed and roasted or just enjoy them as carrots.
Sage butter - how about mixing with diced onion and the wholemeal breadcrumbs to either top your gratin or make stuffing .
Wholemeal bread - no contest, toast. I wonder what fried bread done in sage butter would taste like.

How about roasted avocado and carrots and celery drizzled with lemon juice and sage butter with a side of melba toast?
RE: What would you do with.....??? - Veggie - 23-11-2024
Dehydrated the parsley, dill and basil today and chucked the mint in the Hotbin. It was from Kenya and didn't smell half as nice as homegrown mint.
