Monday Harvest – 29th August 2011

I’m afraid that my harvest this week is meagre, or to be more accurate my photo’s of harvest are meagre.  This week I used quite a lot of parsley but failed to photograph it.  Ate quite a lot of watercress but failed to photograph it.  Made a few batches of stock – celery, carrots, thyme, bay leaves, and more parsley but failed to photograph them.  Well what did I photograph?  This:

Yes more silver beet!  This lot I braised and served with some chicken cooked with lemon and sage.  Very nice it was too.

I also photographed this:

Which topped off a noodle stir fry served with salmon in a soy and ginger sauce.  Really good.

Now I know this last item is not really a harvest but I was cleaning out my cupboard when I found it right at the back – so at a push you could say I harvested it from the cupboard.  Who knows how long its been there but I think now the only sensible option would be to plant it and see what happens…… or perhaps photograph it from a few more angles cos it does look really cool and frankly I suspect Melbourne’s climate is not really suited to growing sweet potatoes…..
