Pickled Onions & Beetroot

Posted in allotment, food | Tagged , , , , | Leave a comment

We decided to try our hand at pickling a few different types of onions. Like our garlic they looked like a few of them were starting to get a little mouldy so we pulled them up early to save what we could and binned the rest.

Here are the results

We made 3 different onion variations: Chilli Shallots, Balsamic Onions, Traditional pickled (red) onions. The picture also shows some pickled beetroot we used a basic pickling recipe for this too.

My favourite is definitely the balsamic onions. The others are ok but maybe a little acidic. Next time I think we will add a little sugar :)

Courgette and Mushroom Bread

Posted in allotment, food | Tagged , , , , , | Leave a comment

At the weekend I got busy baking a loaf of courgette and mushroom bread. It was very tasty! I recommend it to anyone with a glut of courgettes. I only needed to add half of the amount of recommended water and needed quite a bit more flour whilst kneading. So you might wish to bear that in mind.
