What’s GREAT at the Market this Week?
There is nothing like the taste of locally grown capsicum and right now they are bursting with flavour! Delicious in salads and delightful roasted or charred, stuffed or stir
fried there are so much ways to enjoy this sweet yet savoury vegetable! How about a marinated roasted bruschetta or a spicy roasted capsicum hummus?
Strips of capsicum add colour and flavour to stir fried beans, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli.
Here is a recipe for stuffed capsicum
