It is very nice to see new gardeners posting here!
I have some dill planted in my garden, and had planted it before, but not used it. Do you have any recipes to share in using dill?
Thank you for the recipe Bobbi, sounds refreshing.
I was also thinking of adding dill to salmon, and then baking it. My sister uses it at times on her salmon as well so will ask her for her recipe.
Yum, I want some salmon right now.
Yes, I mentioned about salmon, and dill. Looks yummy!
My kids, and I picked some basil just before school to give to one of the staff members. The smell of fresh basil-can't beat that.
That sounds like a good plan, Princess! What sort of temps, have you had over the weekend. Here in Ohio, we went from 96F on Saturday and today, Monday, the high was only 70F, if it reached 70 at our house. We had a chilly day, but DH and DSon worked hard at chopping down an invasive honeysuckle. They got about 1/2 of it, and DS promises to come again and help DH finish.
We'll soon be putting our beds to rest for the winter!
I just picked some bush beans. Does anyone have any preperation styles or recipes they could share?
I saw your thread on the CB but thought I'd answer here instead.
I've used this recipe for string beans and for snow peas. Figure it will work with the bush beans as well. Coincidentally, I made it with snow peas this last weekend and was going to share the recipe on the What's For Dinner Thread but haven't gotten round to downloading my pictures yet.
Ingredients:
String or bush beans (or snow peas)
Cherry tomatoes, 1 punnet
Sweet Chilli sauce, 2 tablespoon
Soya sauce, 1 tablespoon
Water, 1 tablespoon
Garlic, minced - 1 clove or more
Ginger (optional) - sliced
Oil
Mix the sweet chilli sauce, soya sauce and water together to form the 'dressing'.
Wash the beans and either steam, blanch or cook in the microwave until tender.
In a wok or frying pan, heat a little oil and fry the garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds. Add the cherry tomatoes (you can either cut in half or leave them whole). Toss for 1 - 2 minutes.
Add the dressing to the wok or pan and when hot, add the beans.
Toss together for another 1 - 2 minutes.
Makes a nice side dish to a fish meal.
And an alternative recipe to try. I love this at my local middle eastern eatery:
