Plot to Plate
Getting more purple from the plot to the plate.
- Red cauliflower and cabbage ready to harvest
- Braised red cabbage with black sesame seeds and chia. Seasoned with sesame oil and salt
- Sprouting broccoli so green it is almost purple
- Spring onions to give every dish a bit of zing
Growing tips: This year I planted the cauliflower closer together. The heads are smaller and tighter. Sprouting broccoli was propagated in soil blocks and planted with two seedlings to a block.
Harvest and cooking: Harvesting a head per person. I pick them when they are nice and tight and very colourful. I cook them flower up - out of water - so they keep more color.
