Good morning 🍅🥒 #melbournefoodie#veggiepatch#suburbangarden#seasonaleating

Think green papaya (som tum), or green mango salad, with a mix of Vietnamese herbs 🌿 This beautiful little lunch is made out of zucchini instead! Apart from the textural crunch given from green papaya or mango - it's spot on! I walked 🚶🏻‍♀️outside and picked jalapeño, zucchini, purple and green beans, cherry tomatoes, Vietnamese mint, mint and purple shiso from the garden 👩🏻‍🌾 In a mortar & pestle pound 2 jalapeño and 1 long red chilli 🌶 (or to your liking- I like it hot!), clove garlic and a little palm sugar. Scrape it out into a mixing bowl. Add a good few splashes of fish sauce and the juice of 1 lime to the bowl. Shred zucchini 🥒and carrot 🥕into the bowl. Chop a handful of green/purple beans into mortar & pestle, add a few cherry tomatoes 🍅and pound a little, now add those to the bowl too. Tear some Vietnamese mint, mint 🌱and shiso into that bowl of goodness and give it a good stir. If you can be bothered - serve it with some roasted peanuts 🥜 and sticky rice 🍚Enjoy ✌️#melbournefoodie#38weeks#15minutemeals#glutenfree#thaifood#vietnamesefood#zucchini#veggiepatch#suburbangarden#somtum#melbournerecipewriter#glutenfreerecipe#zucchinirecipes#summerfood#seasonaleating#recipesfromscratch#slowfood#ilovechilli

Hmmmm what to do with this mornings pickings... salsa? taco? salad? So thrilled the jalapeño bush survived the winter. Definitely eating those cucumbers cold with salt 😋 #melbournefoodie #veggiepatch #seasonaleating

Fast food summer style with zucchini and tomatoes from the veggie patch... 15 minute zucchini 'spaghetti' with little tomatoes, capers and anchovy. Cook an onion in a generous amount of olive oil over a low heat, add 3 sliced garlic cloves and cook for a few minutes. Boil a kettle of water. Halve about 2-3 cups of cherry tomatoes. Add to the pan, cook over a low heat, add 3 or so anchovy fillets and a sprinkle of capers, season with s+p. Cook for 5 minutes. Meanwhile shred zucchini into bowl, cover with boiling water for a minute and drain. Pour over tomato sauce, mix through and serve with a healthy drizzle of EV olive oil and heaps of pecorino 👌. . . #zucchinispaghetti #melbournefoodie #fridaynightdinner #gayaceramic #glutenfree #glutenfreerecipes #summerspaghetti #summerpasta #f52grams #15minutemeals #zucchininoodles #yourwelcome
