August is almost
over so it's time to look at your Eat Your Greens recipes in
August.
Shaheen from
Allotment 2 Kitchen and my Eat Your Greens co-host made a
tempting Crushed Potato, Courgette and Feta Salad. She roasted
new potatoes, round courgette, yellow courgette and beans with olive
oil, and then added peas, parsley, feta and salt and pepper for some
further baking. This combination of several greens sounds so
wonderful and is even better when made with homegrown produce.
Laura from
Vegfully cooked a refreshing Courgette and mint soup.
She sautéed leeks and garlic in a pan, added celery, courgettes,
seasoning and vegetable stock. After cooking for a while, the
ingredients were blended in a smooth soup and fresh mint, feta,
pepper and olive oil were added for serving. This sounds like a
perfect summer soup to me and I would be happy to eat it anytime.
Lisa from
Lisa's Kitchen shared a wonderful dish of Asparagus and Peas in a Creamy Mustard Sauce. She combined the slightly more
unusual vegetable, asparagus, with Indian flavours. There is a creamy
mustard sauce with ginger, chillies, cumin seeds, turmeric, coconut
milk and lemon juice with pan-fried asparagus and green peas. I'm
sure that asparagus works very well with Indian spices and I'm very intrigued by this dish.
My own recipe this
month was a Spanakopita with crispy filo pastry, spinach and
feta. It's also a nice piece of summer baking and really addictive.
Thank you again to
all participants and readers. It was such a nice month of green food,
and there will be more in September when Shaheen will be
hosting again. I hope to see you all then.
Have a nice
weekend all!
Your VegHog

Hope your having a good weekend.The sun is playing with us today, popping in and out.
ReplyDeleteThank you also for your lovely contribution, and I couldn't agree with you more that all recipes shared were absolutely great.
DeleteWe are having some really hot weather here this week, sunny and around +27C. I'm quite frankly ready for the autumn.
Have a nice weekend too!
That's a beautiful collection of recipes for green foods! So sad that summer is ending up here in this hemisphere.
