Welcome

This is an attempt to document my efforts to grow and eat locally around Melbourne, Derbyshire. My family own a nine acre smallholding on which we grow fruit and vegetables and keep bees, and chickens, but that won't feed us alone, so the idea is to get to know our local produce and to see how easy/hard it is to follow a diet that is local to within 30 miles. The fun part is also trying some new (easy) recipes that use home-grown and local produce. Feel free to comment, send in recipes, and share your experiences of buying and eating locally.

Beetroot and apple feta parcels

Katherine made these for the summer fruit evening, as nibbles, but they would be equally good as a starter in their own right with salad.  Sorry forgot to photograph.

Beetroot and apple feta parcels

Mix 1 grated raw beetroot and 1 grated apple with some feta chopped into small cubes add a handful of walnuts chopped up a bit.  Add a dash of lemon juice, olive oil, maybe a bit of balsamic.  Get some filo and wrap up little spoonfuls in the filo, could be spring roll style or samosa shapes – bake at about 180C for 20 mins on a oiled baking sheet. Oil the tops of them a bit before they go in the oven to make them a bit crunchy.

Could try lots of variations on this theme, parsnip, red cabbage, pears, celery. Or forget the filo and baking and just have as a salad/ or in pitta bread.
