First official harvest... Fish & Chips!

First official harvest: A yummy selection of greens!

When I asked my 2 year old neice what she wanted for dinner she decided fish and chips was in order. I know that she meant she wanted it from the shop but that would have been a little too much of the wierd yellow colour food group for me so I decided to do home made. Thinking about how I could make it much healthier than the store bought kind I decided I should be able to forage enough greens from the garden to throw together a salad. I was able to fill a good sized strainer with enough salad greens to feed three adults and a child hungry for greens with the following:

• Assortment of lettuce leaves
• English spinach (baby leaves)
• Mint leaves
• Baby beetroot leaves
• Rainbow chard
• Red Japanese spinach leaves (Komatsuna)

I sourced Monk Fish thinking it was a sustainable choice (as I asked the lady at the shop if she could recommend  a sustainable fish. I have just however checked in with Good Fish Bad Fish and it turns out its on the red list!!! At least I tried, i will definitely let them know when I go back that she was mistaken. It was yummy though prepared as a light salt & pepper flour batter.

Lots of yummy "chips" made with potatos, pumpkin and carrotts with fresh thyme from the garden. Definitely much healthier and tastier than the store bought kind!
