Hass avocados are out of season for the next few months, meaning those craving an avo fix may have to turn to the often-maligned Shepard variety. But despite the bad rap, Shepard avocados have their own strengths.

Thanks for a great idea now the weather is getting colder Box Divvy East Ryde - Blue Gum

I could think of no better way to round out Food Waste Action Week than with a pot a delicious and nourishing soup.

Soups are a great way to use up all the odds and ends at the end of the week. My soup today has onion, garlic, carrot, celery, sweet potato, potato, pumpkin, capsicum, zucchini, bacon and a handful each of red lentils and barley.

Remember, reducing food waste not only helps the environment by cutting down on methane emissions from landfills but also saves you money and makes the most of the food you buy.

And if you end up with scraps that you can't use, compost them to give back to the earth 🌏

Our wonderful Lebanese baker, Bankstown Bakery, is making pancakes! "Atayef" pancakes are traditionally stuffed with a ricotta cream, sprinkled with crushed pistachios and served with a rose-water. But you can simply drizzle them with maple syrup or honey. It’s a traditional dessert widely enjoyed throughout the Middle East, particularly during Ramadan which is now.

🥄Ingredients: flour, sugar, yeast, water and orange blossom water.

For the next 4 weeks, Bankstown Bakery will supply trays with 16 pancakes for $6.50, that’s 40c a pancake! You can freeze them and best with baking paper between them in a sealed container.

🥞Top with 2 Pops and Snives honey, maple syrup, or some Berenberg jam. Added to this here are two other pancake topping ideas:

🥞Peanut butter (eg. Mayvers or Ridiculously Delicious in Box Divvy Pantry), sliced banana and chia seeds
🥞Ricotta (eg. La Vera Fresh Ricotta in Chilled), mixed berries and a sprinkle of Belicious ground cinnamon

Lots of members at Box Divvy Killara - Cook are excited to pick up their bagels tomorrow for the first time!

𝗦𝗼 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗹𝘆𝗻 𝗕𝗼𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘀 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱?

🥯They are hand-rolled
🥯The dough is fermented for 2 days
🥯They only use real food ingredients
🥯They are boiled before they’re baked
🥯They are both chewy and malty, like the original NY bagel.

We’ll range 3 of the most popular variants: Plain, Everything and Blueberry.

They come in packs of four ($9.50), but we convinced them that for the next 2 weeks, we should offer the single café bagel – which is bigger than the pre-packed ones – to make it easier for members to trial them.

These sell for $4.50 each in the BBB shops, but for the next 2 weeks, we’ll offer them at half price: $2.25 each.

What on earth is Caulini?!?!

Caulini is essentially a cauliflower that’s left to…flower. So it is not a hybrid like broccolini. But cooking-wise, you can treat it like broccolini: stir-fry, steam, sauté or oven-roast. It’s sweeter and nuttier than regular cauliflower

Stir Fry Bok Choi and Caulini

• 1 tbs vegetable oil
• 2 cups Caulini florets
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1-1/2 cups sliced carrots
• 1/2 cup chicken stock
• ½ - 1 bok choi, cut in 4 cm pieces
• 1 tbs gingerroot, minced
• 1 tsp garlic, minced
• 1 tbs soy sauce
• Salt and pepper

In wok or large frypan, heat oil over medium heat; stir-fry Caulini, broccoli and carrots for 3 minutes. Add stock; cover and steam for 2 minutes. Add bok choi, gingerroot and garlic; stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes or until vegetables are tender-crisp. Stir in soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spiced Caulini

• 2 tbs vegetable oil
• 2 tsp chilli powder
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tsp ground coriander
• 2 tsp turmeric
• 2 tsp ground black pepper
• Caulini, broken into small florets
• 25g tamarind paste (optional)
A good substitute is 1/4 cup orange juice mixed with 2 tablespoons lime juice or make a paste by blending equal parts dried apricots, prunes, dates, plus lemon juice or lime or lemon juice. Use 2 tablespoons of this mixture for every teaspoon of tamarind paste.
• 250ml boiling water
• 1 tbs vinegar
• salt

Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the oil. Add the spices and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until fragrant. Add the Caulini and stir to coat the florets with the spice mixture.

Stir the tamarind paste (if using) into the boiling water. Add the tamarind-water mixture to the pan with the cauliflower and stir in the vinegar. Season to taste with salt. Bring the pan to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender.

This looks so delicious! Definitely putting a pumpkin in my order this week!
Thanks Box Divvy east Ryde - Blue Gum!

Pumpkins were great value and a popular choice at the Hub this week. Here's what I made for dinner with part of my pumpkin, Nagi's 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗺𝗽𝗸𝗶𝗻 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼.

It's a very simple and delicious recipe and one that I make often. I had a little bacon leftover in the fridge that I cooked until crispy which made a lovely topper!
