Cheese of the Week – Rutland Red

This week’s cheese is Rutland Red from the Long Clawson Dairy. Made using a traditional recipe, Rutland Red is buttered, cloth-bound and matured for six months to produce a flaky, open texture cheese with a slightly sweet, caramelised flavour and rich golden orange colour.

It is the only pasteurised Red Leicester produced in the county of Leicestershire. Rutland Red is an award winning cheese winning 3 golds at the Global Cheese Awards and 4 golds and the Red Leicester Trophy at the International Cheese awards.

This is the best Red Leicester we have ever tasted. Approx £5.00 per portion

This week’s Fish – Salmon with Dill Butter

Our fish of the week is salmon with our dill and lemon butter. Dill, with its fresh, slightly sweet, and slightly anise-like flavour adds a vibrant, note that pairs beautifully with both the lemon and the salmon. It’s a classic pairing for fish and provides a refreshing contrast to the richness of the butter. 

2 fillets with dill and lemon butter £15

This Week’s Fruit and Veg Boxes

Lentils – Red

This weeks £25 and £15 boxes contain all the ingredients to make our delicious coconut, apple and ginger Dal, perfect with our sweet potato flat bread recipe. We have included fresh turmeric in your box to use in this recipe. A member of the ginger family, it has been used in Indian and Chinese medicines for centuries to heal wounds, treat skin conditions, inflammations and infections. Try it finely sliced or grated (it’s less fibrous than ginger and easier to grate).

Word of warning though – its incredible colour is a natural dye and stains surfaces and hands alike. Handle with care or get your marigolds on if you want to avoid the dye (you can use lemon juice to help remove stains). When it comes to knowing how much to use, a rough guide is: one inch of fresh turmeric = one tablespoon of freshly grated turmeric = one teaspoon of ground turmeric. The sweet potato flat bread recipe that goes with this dish is really simple to make and makes this a complete meal.

We have chosen Braeburn apples for our apple and coconut dal because they strike the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, adding depth and freshness to the dish. Their firm texture holds up beautifully during cooking, so the apple pieces stay tender but not mushy. The natural juiciness and aromatic flavour of Braeburn apples complement the creamy coconut and warming spices, bringing a bright, balanced taste to every spoonful

This week we have included Tango mandarins in both boxes. We were blown away when we tasted these at the market this morning. Grown under the golden African sun, these seedless beauties burst with bold, zesty sweetness and a fragrance that instantly lifts your mood. 

We also have tenderstem this week, a cross between Chinese kale and broccoli, it couldn’t be easier to prepare – you can eat the whole thing from tip to stem. And, even better, it doesn’t take long to cook. Whether you roast it, griddle it, grill it, steam it or eat it raw, it’s a quick way to get great flavour on your plate. 

The wait is over — sprout season has begun! Our freshly picked Lancashire Brussel sprouts are in this week’s £25 box and now available in the shop. Perfect for your autumn meals!

Our cheese of the week is Tasty Lancashire with black pepper. This is the more mature relative of Creamy Lancashire and is made in the same traditional way. This is a delightfully rich cheese with a delicious mature nutty bite on the finish. This cheese makes the best cheese sauce to go with your cauliflower which is in this week’s box.

This year the Osteen Mango season has been exceptionally good and long, we are excited to be able to include them in our £25 box again this week. these are the only ones in the world that reach the marketplace clad in their own waxen coat and therefore not washed or treated with edible varnishes or fungicides. Osteen mangoes are harvested just before they ripen, as a result they contain a higher percentage of sugar which makes them deliciously sweet, if you would like to add to your £15 box £2.50 box contents appear after the gallery.
