What's for tea tonight? (#8)

[colacubes]

Yeah, Mrs B tells me she's started getting them in her veg box too - apparently they've existed as a hybrid for a decade, wonder why they're suddenly available everywhere this year?

Our veg box company concentrate on trying to get things as local as possible and the weather has been quite shit for a lot of the crops you’d get this time of year from what they’ve said, so I suspect they’ve started trying them out as other crops have gone tits up. The last month has been the first time I’ve ever had them and we’ve been getting bags for over 2 years.

 

[Biddlybee]

Lidl has had them for the last few years.

 

[colacubes]

We were getting them down south a decade ago, maybe they've only just arrived up your way

Not in that London we weren’t Which is a shame cos I approve

 

[colacubes]

Lidl has had them for the last few years.

How have I never spotted them?! Cos Ivthink they’re my fave new veg.

 

[Biddlybee]

They are seasonal not a staple and they did change their name too. It's easy to miss things in there.

This is the recipe I use - what goes in it depends on what fish I can get hold of fairly cheaply - tilapia is usually a good bet. I sometimes make it with seafood instead, prawns or squid work well with the same sauce.

The Most Delicious Stew Fish - Simply Trini Cooking

Stew fish is a popular way of cooking fish here in Trinidad and Tobago. Unlike the Jamaican Brown Stew fish, ours tend to be more on the red side because of the tomatoes and tomato paste etc. Seeing that we're in the Lenten season this fish recipe is even more popular and today, being Good

They're bloody lovely sprinkled with a few Nigella seeds before you fry them. My house smells very aromatic now.

Remembered to look for these in Morrisons when I was in there today - difficult choices were made but we came away with a pack of garlic ones to try. Have a curry planned later in the week, will report back!

(Was delighted to find they were on special offer at the moment too, reduced to £1.20 from £1.40)
