simple suppers

October 15, 2011 at 5:53 pm 11 comments

Jacket potatoes are a favourite in our house, particularly on days when you don’t have the energy for cooking but still want to eat healthily.  At this time of year we’re able to use our home-grown Robinta potatoes which produce the most fabulous crispy skins and are wonderful topped with other allotment veggies:  oven roasted cherry tomatoes, beetroot tops sauteed with a little garlic and steamed carrots.
A simple supper guaranteed to leave you feeling satisfied in more ways than one.

    Excellent! and weird because I was just thinking about you, and how you are getting on. Looks like your eating some good healthy food, like the beetroot tops.

    Greg – we’re good thanks, very proud parents already when the midwife said the baby is ‘perfect’ at our appointment today.
    We still have some beets in the ground but it’s unlikely the bulbs are going to grow anymore so beetroot tops may well become a regular feature our plates.

    Janet – you can certainly feel the vitamin zing when eating colourful allotment veg

    Jac – I think I could live quite happily off jacket spuds like this

    Joanna – it’s turning chilly here now so just the sort of warm and nourishing dinner I want

    Hello Nic, I hope you don’t mind, but I have borrowed an image from your blog, it is of a hawthorne spike, to illustrate a post I have just written. So glad to have found your blog, and your lovely recipes, and I will absolutely be trying the saucy haw ketchup!
