Green beans are cooked in olive oil like this in Turkey , where they are usually served warm, or at room temperature, rather than hot. This recipe is from ” Comfort” by Yotam Ottolengji, and the beans will keep in the fridge for up to three days.
Another soup from ” Greenfeast: autumn, winter” by Nigel Slater. I have also seen a version of this recipe where pork meatballs are added to the soup. You can use any stock you like fpr this soup- homemade, readymade from a supermarket or made up from bouillion powder.
A quick and delicious vegetarian supper from ” Dominique’s Kitchen” by Dominique Woolf. If you are not able to get hold of any shitake mushrooms then chestnut mushrooms make a very good substitute.
Cavolo Nero is one of my favourite winter greens and this is a winning way to cook it from ” The Art of the Larder” by Claire Thomson. It goes very well with grilled meat ( if you do) , but is also good piled on to garlic rubbed toast, with or without some ricotta.
As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. I would never have thought of pairing Marmite with cauliflower but I can assure you it works. The recipe is from ” The Year of Miracles” by Ella Risbridger, a book I think everyone should by for her personal story, alongside the recipes she shares.
Here is another favourite recipe from Sophie Grigson’s ” Sunshine Food”. It will feed four as a light vegetarian main course or 8 as a side. Serve hot or warm. Its best to use a winter squash such as butternut, red kuri, crown prince or onion, but pumpkin will do if its all you have.
