I just wanted to share with you a dish I made with
things I grew myself. I'm not a natural
gardener. A local supermarket late last
year gave away seeds and little pots to grow them in and some of them actually
survived, and even thrived.
So here is my Home
Grown Slaw.
Ingredients:
Cabbage
Carrot
Broccoli – blanch it very quickly in hot water before
slicing
All finely shredded.
I don't have a food processor so did it by hand. Good therapy.
Home grown in my case doesn't equate to perfectly
formed. This is about the ugliest carrot
I've ever seen - but I grew it.
Dressing:
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons of grated ginger
1 ½ teaspoons of lemon zest
1 finely chopped green chilli (also home grown)
Very small amount of finely chopped white onion
Fish sauce
Pepper
This is one salad that benefits from being made in
advance and then left in the fridge to sit.
It stays crunchy.
Its totally awesome to make stuff from your own garden!
ReplyDeleteEverything tastes better when you grew it yourself (even if funny looking!). This slaw sounds really refreshing.
ReplyDeleteI think your carrot's kind of cute, it has real character, and I'm sure tasted fine in the slaw.
ReplyDeleteFun to grow your own and make something from it! ;-)
