You all seem to be such proficient chefs. Well here is a place to share some of that cooking knowledge. Or do you have a cooking problem? Ask away. Jams and chutneys go here too.

Hungry Gap Mash

Post: # 274543Post Annemieke »

This year being what is is, we're still in the Hungry Gap though the spinach is coming on. We haven't even got enough radish greens to make my famous radish green mash! And I refuse to buy veg.
So I let my husband eat our tiny spring cabbages, while making myself some lovely Hungry Gap Mash as follows:
250g (old!) potatoes, 20-25g reasonably appetizing nettles, sour cream, fresh mint, garlic, grated cheese.
Cook potatoes in salted water. About 5 mins before they're done, add the finely chopped nettles, mint and squashed garlic, cook till everything is done. Pour off any water, add some dollops of sour cream, season if necessary, mash, let warm through. With plenty of grated cheese.
Wasn't bad!
Grow no evil, cook no evil, eat no evil!

Sounds yummy! :mrgreen:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free
It won't make us famous
It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
