A rainbow of goodness, colour your plate......

Dinner tonight was beef sausages made from our own home raised steers, and a colourful selection of vegetables. We've grown a fair bit of veg over the years and that feeling of satisfaction you get seeing a plate full of home produce never wanes. If you've never grown a thing in your life, try it some time, you won't regret it.
So here's what we picked today.... leek, kale, carrots & silverbeet (rainbow chard)

The leeks and greens tossed in a little butter, olive oil with a few small cloves of garlic, sweated down in minutes taste like heaven on a plate.

Steamed carrots

Sausages cooked on the bbq, a few oven chips and behold..
.....a feast.

...and lets add a splash of red...home brewed plum wine...

Cheers!
