Like all veg and especially the green stuff, it is nice enough when cooked right but tastes of evil when overdone!

That is because you never tried my pasta with (home-grown) cime di rapa! :rotfl:

Bottle of red goes in a beef bourgignon type-thingy... which also takes a kilo of stewing beef... Fear not, I have only made it twice in about two years! The recipe does do about 8-10 portions, it's not quite sooo bad as it looks.

Don't cry for the wine! It goes to a good and loving home... in my belly . I couldn't keep it in the freezer, I'd drink the stuff!

I wonder if Caterinas recipe is pasta with rocket maybe? Forgotten most of my Italian:o.

Anyways...Caterina (or anyone else) - do you have a suitable recipe for cooking up with some somewhat "tough" type rocket? (errr..suitable for a vegetarian) purlease..

Mad Arthur - K-A-L-E is high in iron, too!

mardatha

I don't need iron !! and anyway I'm sure you get it in .... :EasterBun
:cool::cool:

Indeed you do - in dark chocolate....which happens to be my fav. Not that I've had any in a long time, I must get some, purely to boost my iron levels of course - it's cheaper than steak, that's for sure

Got this for my younger son - the one who was into falconry/ hunting/ shooting and fishing. He will love it

If you fancy making an outdoor dressing table.

I wonder did the boys get all the fun stuff in theirs?

Cime di rapa is common turnip tops, but people here in the UK feed it to livestock! It is delicious. Not rocket, but I have used rocket in pasta as well, and also good are radish leaves.

Kale is ok but needs to be quite young otherwise it is a bit tough for this recipe.

Here is a link to a recipe (i do mine without the sausage, another the traditional way is with anchovy fillets, the variations are limited by your culinary fantasy!).
