I don’t know whether it’s down to the weather this year – very wet spring and weeks of hot and dry conditions during the middle of summer – but my curly kale is doing incredibly well. I love having it instead of cabbage to complement a roast dinner with loads of roast potatoes and parsnips and oodles of gravy It takes no more than 5 minutes to cook on the hob in a few spoonfuls of simmering water. But surely there must be more to this pretty, frilly leafed green vegetable

Now this really is an unusual dish! If you’ve spent a day gardening then this is absolutely perfect for you. Intrigued? Then read on!

This dish is not just simple and quick to cook, it also makes your efforts in the garden well worthwhile as it makes good use of weeds and flowers.

I often fancy something that’s a bit spicy and a cheesy and I usually end up going for cheese on toast with a drizzle of spicy brown sauce but this recipe is equally as cheap, quick easy to make but is so different to my normal bog standard fare! And it’s meat free!!
