This Week’s Fruit and Veg Boxes

This week both our £25 and £15 boxes include all the ingredients (except harissa) to make our delicious Harissa, aubergine and tomato bake, perfect served with sea bass, salmon or chicken.

We included a jar of harissa in your box two weeks ago, so there will be plenty for this recipe. If you need a jar just message and we can add one to your order. Harissa is a hot, aromatic paste made from chilli and assorted spices and herbs which are spicy and fragrant. It’s widely used in North African and Middle Eastern cuisines as a condiment, or mixed with water or tomato juice to flavour stews, soups or couscous. 

The versatility of harissa is one of the best things about it. Just a smidge will give your dinner a lift. Add a little to a basic tomato sauce, or use it to pep up a chicken breast or piece of fish. You can also let it really dominate the dish – it’s historically used as a flavouring for couscous – and is especially good if you like the flavour of chilli but want something more complex.

A Perfect Partnership – carrots and turnips. 

This week’s boxes celebrate one of the tastiest duos in the winter kitchen. Whether you mash them together with a knob of butter, roast them until sweet and golden, or pop them into a hearty stew, these two classic roots bring warmth, flavour and comfort to every meal.

This old-fashioned root veg might not get the spotlight it deserves, but locally grown, seasonal turnips are absolute powerhouses, and they’re in our vegetables boxes right now!

Turnips may be a bit old-school, but their benefits are timeless, they are packed with vitamins, especially vitamin C to support your immune system. Great for digestion thanks to their natural fibre, low in calories, big on nourishment. Let’s bring this forgotten favourite back into the kitchen. What’s your favourite way to cook them? We are always looking for new ideas.

Fresh cranberries have arrived, perfect for freezing ready for Christmas £3.20 for 340g fresh from Wisconsin USA, Cranberries are grown on 21,000 acres across 20 counties in Wisconsin. The sand and peat marshes in central and northern Wisconsin create the perfect growing conditions for them.
