Lunch

At the Farm Shop we don’t treat cooking as a precise science, nor are we trying to give a comprehensive list of recipes. These are some of our favourite dishes and we hope you’ll give some of them a try. They’ve worked for us on countless occasions but that doesn’t mean, with a bit of imagination and a few tweaks, they can’t be improved. Good luck.
Rare Roast Beef and Lentil SaladBy Ben WatsonRare roast beef and lentils are a great basis for any salad but what really gives this it's oomph is the addition of a few roast vegetables and our Mojo Verde. Adding the beef juices into the dressing will take it to the next level.
Kimchi noodle soupBy Ben WatsonKimchi is good in simple ramen style noodle soup. You can make it as simple – or as complicated as you like. Soft boiled egg, nori, chashu pork etc are all optional.
Kimchi and prawn frittersBy Ben WatsonAs usual, I’m way behind the times but I’ve finally seen the light and kimchi has become part of my kitchen toolbox. I much prefer to cook with it than eat it raw - it brings a deliciously savoury, saline twang to everything it touches. Hopefully, we’ll soon have our own version from the deli counters but, in the meantime, here is an idea from Serious Eats
Lebanese Pita PizzaBy Ben WatsonThere is such a thing as a Lebanese pizza, known as manoush, and loosely speaking this just about falls within the parameters. The pita bread is a cheat – but it works and it makes good Christmas finger food. This can be cooked straight from the freezer and the whole fried, spiced lamb with hummus thing really works.
Warm lentil and sausage saladBy Ben WatsonSausages and lentils are a great combination - pair them in a salad or a casserole depending on the time of year.
