Cooking with vegetables!

[Diddums]

We're moving to our new home soon and there's a farmer's market a couple of hundred yards up the road, which sells vegetables I forgot even exist. For our roasts I usually do the regulars, but now that I've got access to all these lovely delectable veggies, I wanna broaden my horizons a bit.

Post up your favourite veggie recipes please

Don't worry, I have a well used sous vide in which I cook massive slabs of cow so it's not all bad

So, when you say regular, you mean like carrots potatoes, and what sort of things do they sell at this market that isn't in that category?

And are these things you can do with veg as like sides, rather than just vegetarian meals?

Anything to go with my phat meat really.

On roast day I usually do cauli cheese, mashed carrots, sprouts, 'tatoes and occasionally butternut & sweet potato.

I love a cream spinach and I make a killer creamed spinach.

As for what types, anything really, just looking for some inspiration. They sell some lovely squashes at this market so ideally I'd like a go with those.

We’ve made this Jamie Oliver super squash lasagne a number of times and really perfected it. It’s great with a crispy side salad, and if like me you’ve just done 5 Christmas parties in 4 nights it’s a nice weekend cook that feels super healthy. I can’t find an official recipe page, but this will do the job; https://thequirkandthecool.com/2016/05/08/jamie-olivers-super-squash-lasagne/

My tips would be to cook the squash on a high heat to get some nice colour (200c+), and make sure your tomato sauce reduces - oh and don’t add any more than a splash of water otherwise it’ll be a runny mess. The squash etc doesn’t soak up any liquid in the bake so you want it to be as liquidy as you want it to come out. In other words, not much.

Ooooh that looks proper tasty, I'll give it a go, cheers!
