Season

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.

Curried Parsnip SoupBy Redpost MediaA sweet, spiced and tasty soup to serve for lunch or as a starter with chunky bread.
Vegetable Harira soupBy Redpost MediaNot real harira but lovely nevertheless. The mixture of veg, grains and pulses, spices/sauces and salty lemon really works.
Poor Man’s TagliataBy Redpost MediaThe joys of a thick, BBQ’d and sliced on the bias, ‘Italian Tagliata’ style steak are worth striving for. Knock it into shape (literally) and it makes a fantastic, thick steak.
Broth of GodBy Redpost MediaStocks and broths are wonderful creations that we all should be making more of – not just because of their organoleptic qualities, but because it’s wasteful not to and if we’re going to go on enjoying meat, nose to tail cooking has to be the way to go.
Stuffed LambBy Redpost Media

Stuffed with our apricot, almond and lemon stuffing this is a fine, full-flavoured, family feast. Serve with dauphinois potatoes (see recipe) & lemon and honey glazed carrots to carry on the fragrant theme of the stuffing.

Risi e Bisi e Runner BeansBy Redpost MediaIn it’s pure Venetian form, Risi e Bisi is a wet risotto of rice (obviously), smoked pancetta (usually), the best chicken stock and the freshest, sweetest garden peas. It’s a lovely dish – light but comforting. However nothing is sacred so we’ve beefed it up with chicken meat, brown basmati rice and runner beans.  The old Doge of Venice would be turning in his grave, particularly with the brown basmati rice, but it works and he should have tried it.The suggested quantities will make enough to feed an army so scale back accordingly, unless you’re planning an invasion. When I made it, I did have a lot of mouths to feed and it was equally good the next day.
Beef, Cabbage, Apple & Horseradish SoupBy Redpost Media

a.k.a. Austerity Soup

Is much a stew as a soup but, either way, it’s a robust and easy dish that doesn’t need constant attention. The beauty of shin is that it goes through a sudden damascene transformation from unchewably tough to mouth-wateringly tender in a matter of moments. It just takes some time to get there. The apple and horseradish adds a sweet piquancy which, when added at the end maintains its freshness.
