Braised Silverbeet

When silverbeet is plentiful, this is a warming soup, that is both nutritious and delicious!  While it's low calorie, it's high on flavour, texture and satiety.

The recipe below feeds 2-3 people as a base for a main course, with fish and crusty bread.

Braised Spiced Celery with Spinach

Spicing up the celery gives great colour and taste to this dish.

Brussels Sprouts with Orange Sauce

This hot orange sauce is great over other cooked green vegetables, try it with broccoli, courgettes, beans or asparagus.

Cannelini Bean Hotpot

A winter warmer that can be prepared ahead of the rest of your dinner, and left to rest until you are ready to serve the other elements of your meal.

It uses tinned tomatoes and beans, so keep these in your pantry for an easy, no fuss side dish or base for chicken or fish.

Caramelised Roast Vegetable Salad

Many vegetables roast well; try different combinations of onions, peppers, yams, kumara, parsnip, potatoes, beetroot or carrots.
