yes! It’s true! Sutton Community Farm’s first harvest is going to be sold at the Veg Van! We can’t wait!
St. Helier smoothies
We had a great day on Saturday at the St. Helier festival! Jill and Sam made amazing smoothies: Banana and cocoa (with a dash of milk) and Apple, pear and cinnamon. We had a really great day and everyone loved them! We also sold our famous strawberry punnets which were a big seller! Hope you can make it next year if you didn’t make it this time round. Hopefully someone took some pictures as we totally forgot!!! Please do send them through if you took any.
Since we’re getting some great lettuces from the farm, here’s my favourite salad recipe:
Chickpea Spinach Salad
Ingredients
4 tbsp. olive oil
1 onion, diced
some black olives, sliced
2 sundried tomatoes
half a tin of chickpeas
8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
4 tbsp. lemon juice
1 bag of spinach
1 lettuce
salt and pepper to taste
Directions
1. Place frying pan over med-high heat and add olive oil.
2. Add the onion and saute for one minute.
3. Add olives, sun toms, chickpeas and tomatoes.
4. Reduce heat to medium and stir occasionally for 1-2 minutes or until the tomatoes start to blister and onion starts to caramelize.
5. Add lemon juice.
6. In a large bowl toss spinach and lettuce with salt and pepper
7. Add ingredients from frying pan and toss well.
8. Serve immediately so that the spinach and lettuce doesn’t wilt too much!
Enjoy! Have a great week everyone and see you soon,
Seeta, Jill, Sam and Jenny
