Chapter 7

Box of Veg

Vegetables offer an almost infinite number of culinary possibilities to the home cook and are much, much more than just a side dish. The recipes in this chapter will open your eyes to new possibilities, from the stunning Potato and Borage Salad, to golden, crisp Pea and Tofu Fritters, and aromatic Moroccan Slow-Cooked Vegetables. When it comes to buying vegetables, seasonal is best; not only will they be kinder on the purse, they’ll taste better too. That said, don’ t forget the ultimate convenience food—frozen veg.
