Golden Nugget Squash

Adapted from www.specialtyproduce.com

Golden Nugget squash can be prepared with or without its skin, but the skin should be removed prior to eating. It can be baked whole or halved, or cubed and then roasted, steamed, boiled, and sautéed. Here's a simple recipe to try from Epicurious.com : Roasted golden nugget squash Cooked squash can be pureed and added to risotto, soup or curries. Cooked squash can be added to casseroles, pies, tacos, salads, pasta dishes and chili. Its petite size is perfect for stuffed and baked squash applications when filled with grains, vegetables, and cheeses. Its flavour marries well with cinnamon, nutmeg, curry, sage, chard, kale, parsley, coriander, bell pepper, apple, pear, quinoa, rice, maple syrup, toasted pecans, butter, cream, melting and hard cheeses, and balsamic vinegar. Gold Nugget squash will keep in cool, dry storage for one to two months.

Organic September is upon us - the Soil Association's annual promotion.

Win an Organic Hamper from Windmill Organics

 This year Windmill Organics are offering a hamper of organic goodies in return for you granting access to your email inbox.  Send us an email for a chance to win - put 'I want to win the hamper' in the Subject line - that's all -  and we'll add you to our mailing list and Windmill will add you to theirs. (You can unsubscribe at any time!)  Of course, if you want to share a vegetable related joke at the same time we'd be delighted to receive them - but the quality of joke will not affect your chances of winning

Here are the lists for next week's boxes.  At this time of year most of the produce is grown in the UK and so G Boxes will resemble the standard A and B boxes.  As usual some lines are grown very locally - this week the Leeks and Kale are both from Sheffield Organic Growers.  SOG are also supplying all our requirements for courgettes in the shop.  Cucumbers and parsley are also from these local growers. Fennel will be coming from Wortley Walled Garden.

Veg Box News: 5th - 8th, September 2017

Apologies for late posting!  But we’re having a few problems posting things on our website at the moment so I’ve set up this blog as a temporary place to post Veg Box News.  It’ll take a little getting used to this end so bear with me!  I hope you find it easy to use.  Our archive is still available on the website but this will gradually grow as a resource too.  I'll keep you posted of any further changes.

A

• Pots 1kg
• Onions 500g
• Carrots 600g
• Beetroot
• Broccoli 400g
• Sweet Corn x 2
• Punnet of Tomatoes

B’s will receive a Salad Pack in place of the Potatoes

D’s will receive extra potatoes and a Celery

E’s will receive the Celery and the Salad Pack

L’s and M’s will be receiving other mystery additions from Sheffield Organic Growers.

All the produce in the Standard Boxes is UK at the moment so G boxes are the same as A's.

K

• Apples 600g
• Oranges x 3
• Bananas 600g
• Pears 600g
• A Punnet of Plums
• A Lemon

Q’s will also get a portion of Kiwi fruit.

We will happily take back the punnets used and either reuse or recycle them.

The weather has changed now and there is a very autumnal feel.  If it looks like rain on your delivery day please put any empty boxes in a dry place or wrap them in a bin bag.  It only takes one rain burst to make the boxes unusable.  Thanks!!
