vegetables from our allotment

We’ve got an Allotment Diary with a twist today. We’re sharing what we did with some actual homegrown produce! One day last week we collected some peas, cavolo nero and lamb’s lettuce. Sounds like the start of an episode of Ready, Steady, Cook!

We also had some of the home-made soft cheese we blogged about last week.

All the essentials for a favourite dish of ours – lasagne. A bit of preparation beforehand, but then just pop in the oven for about half an hour when you decide you’re ready to eat. No last-minute running around. The perfect dish if you fancy a pre-dinner drink or have friends round and want to chat and be sociable.

This version has a white Béchamel sauce with the soft cheese, peas, cavolo nero, toasted pine nuts & basil – with a lambs lettuce garnish of course.
