We really enjoy recipes that use a lot of garden ingredients – so here’s one that celebrates the green veg available at this time of year, maintaining all that fresh vibrant colour in a delicious curry. Feel free to adjust the spicing to make it spicier or keep it fairly mild. You can also use all the veg suggested or keep it simple with just a couple of different ingredients! Serve with lime segments and steamed basmati rice for a lovely Summer meal!…

Beetroot and Walnut Dip
We love beetroot! Adaptable for so many recipes, vibrant in colour, full of healthy vitamins and of course delicious!!

A bright and nutritious beetroot dip, ideal for spreading on toast or an oatcake and certain to add sparkle to your February table. It would also make a lovely addition to a spread of mezze plates or as an accompaniment for a roast veg dish!
