The theme for Monday posts in January is Winter Greens.
By January my provide of winter squashes from my potager is dwindling and I get to purchase winter greens.
For us, it’s a deal with to have cauliflower or broccoli or Brussels sprouts or cabbage or among the ‘forgotten’ greens. We love turnips and rutabagas and… have you ever ever had crosne?)
I attempt to make all greens enjoyable – these will likely be a few of our favorites.
Just a little extra data on this recipe: We begin backwards:
The completed product is potatoes and carrots which are barrel-shaped and app. 2 inches (5cm) lengthy by 3/4 inch (2cm) thick on the center (like a barrel the ends will likely be only a bit thinner).
Have a look at your greens:
Ideally you must be capable of reduce the potato in half the brief approach and have two items a bit longer than 2 inches (5cm). Reduce these halves into 4ths the good distance and, as they are saying, ‘reduce away the half that’s not the barrel’. Trim the items into one thing near a barrel-shape. A big potato offers you 8 turned potatoes and a small potato will give 4 – you gained’t reduce it in half the brief approach first. You will have 6 – 8 per particular person.
Reduce the carrots into lengths and trim the identical approach.
Don’t be overly involved about your carving talents, simply attempt to preserve them comparable in dimension. Just a little smaller is ok.
Last be aware: I make these when I’ve soup (Potato Soup ?) deliberate so I can use all of the trimmings.
