love nature and live how you like

365 days of gardening obsession

09 September 2006

Set off to pick elderberries, came back with Kale Rubibor and Erbette to make the filling - along with shallots and garlic - for 'sausage' rolls.

The weather has been sunny by day but cold at night (5 degrees), perhaps cold enough to wreck the elderberries. The cultivated crops haven't been dented though, although the greenhouse has seemingly frozen in time, with the reddening of the remaining fruit the only (slow) change...

Hello Max

Could you possibly post the recipe for your kale 'sausage rolls'. I have a glut of kale and am struggling to find uses for it. Perhaps the I could make a batch of the 'sausage rolls' for the freezer.

thank you

Hello teatree!

Don't do recipes as a rule...in this instance I just cook the kale, add lemon juice and soy sauce, and mix it with whatever other vegetables I have available...Cashew nuts are a good addition... Roll it up in that (defrosted) frozen flaky pastry and bake for about half an hour...

We eat kale at least once a week at this time of year...even some of the kids! I always save the cooking water and sneak it into soups and stocks because I read somewhere that this is what makes this peasant a strong peasant...? :~)
