** OPEN MONDAY-FRIDAY 9-5 **
** FARM FRESH CELERY **
We are harvesting our own celery this year and currently it is selling for only $2!
This is such a staple item for winter soups/ stew/ casserole. Come and grab one at this great price
** COTTAGE PIE **
Can’t really call this vegetarian, but it is ‘meat free’. I chose to use beef stock, but could sub for vegetable stock.
* prepare all your veges first by finely dicing them.
* I used 1 onion, a small swede, small purple kumara, some crown pumpkin, and 2 sticks celery (can also use carrot, mushroom, or just about anything!)
* heat some olive oil in a large pan
* throw in the onion with 1 tsp garlic and sauté until onion soft
* add a couple tsp of thyme
* add all the other veges and cook for another few minutes stirring often
* add approx 1.5 litres of stock
* add about 250g dry red lentils
* bring to boil and then lower heat and simmer for about 45 mins with lid on, stir occasionally. May need to add more water if it absorbs before veges are cooked
* when veges are cooked and liquid has reduced, remove from the heat, add some peas and corn, and stir through 3 TBSP tomato purée
* add salt and pepper to taste
* place in a casserole dish, top with mashed potato and cheese and bake at 180c for about 40 mins until brown on top
