Whilst we were away in Europe my beans - that I'd stupidly planted just before we flew out to Europe - produced a small handful of beans. It was a pretty good effort for them considering they'd not had any water for quite a while. Beans are troopers.
I normally eat my beans raw, but for some reason I decided to cook them quickly in some rapidly boiling water and then blanch in ice-cold water. I think this just added more to the washing up -- I'll leave them raw next time. I then roasted the carrots in some caramelized balsamic + oil, added some Spanish onion and feta and VIOLA - another carrot salad, perfect for #meatlessMonday.
Happy gardening, Miss Piggy xoxo
simple and delicious. im not too into raw beans but washing up is another pain in the butt!
ReplyDeleteI love blanched beans - I've recently taken to microwaving them with only a teeny splash of water for about a minute. Much less washing up!
ReplyDeleteSimple and delicious, just as Amy said. Your balcony is incredibly productive!
ReplyDeleteCarrot cake :)
ReplyDeleteI use carrots all the time and always have them in the fridge but struggle to feature them - so it was a success to roast them with a little maple syrup tonight - am amazed at all your carrot from the balcony - you could go into business with a fruit and veg barrow at the markets :-)
