100% meal.

It may not be gourmet,

but it is ALL home grown!

Potato, eggplant and pumpkin chips.

It lacks a bit of green...

but I was too lazy to go out to the greenhouse

to cut some salad greens.

Garden bounty

First corn

 This is why I love Grosse Lisse...

big and meaty without many seeds.

Tomato, bocconcini, basil, 

with salt and pepper and a drizzle of good olive oil.

Freshly dug potatoes, eggs from the girls, chives and a bit of mayo.

 

Simply fresh picked beans, crumbled feta and a little more olive oil.

Apart from the cheeses, salt and pepper and olive oil...

ALL HOME GROWN... 

now that is what I call a feast.

A face only a mother could love?

This post will not go down as a culinary highlight...

to be commented on for days.

The meal wouldn't get me a gig on Master Chef...

and I wouldn't serve it to guests.

Maybe it is a meal only the grower could love.

But I had to share it...cos it is a >90%  meal.

We haven't had many of those since autumn.

(The Great Goat Raids of the Winter of 2011.)

So here it is...

plain and simple and extremely green.

Silver beet and spinach, carrots,

broad bean, green garlic, mint, mash with and feta and olive oil

(ala Suburban Tomato - Liz's looked nicer but this one tasted fine)

and a lightly poached egg from Hortense.

Seven out of eight main ingredients...

I'm claiming that as more than ninety percent home produced.

May there be many more!
