this week in the herb garden

Another week where it has been too wet to do much in the way of gardening! So - time to get creative with the harvest. The rowan berries, picked earlier this month, have been made into rowan jelly and it was this that I chose to add a taste of the countryside to tonight's dinner.
Rowans are quite bitter, so even with the sugar added to make the jelly it is not too sweet. It is therefore ideal to accompany meat. In this dish it has been added to chunks of tender lamb and stir fried organic vegetables to make a simple, but delicious sauce. A memorable and healthy meal!
(must write this one down for future use!)
