Squash (or Pumpkin) & Black Bean Enchiladas

1 week ago | homegrown-kitchen.co.nz | Nicola Galloway

Preheat the oven to 190C (fan 170C). Place the squash or pumpkin on a small oven tray. Add 1 teaspoon of the cumin and a generous pinch of salt. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to combine. Roast for 15-20 minutes until the squash is golden and just tender. Set aside. Heat the remaining olive oil in a frying pan over a moderate heat. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes. Add the remaining teaspoon of ground cumin, along with the garlic and other spices. Stir over the heat for 1 minute until fragrant.
Banoffee Crepes with Miso Toffee Sauce

4 weeks ago | homegrown-kitchen.co.nz | Nicola Galloway

In a mixing bowl combine the flour and salt. Whisk to combine then make a well in the flour. Break in the eggs and slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue mixing until the batter is smooth. Cover and set aside to rest on the bench for 30 minutes, or place in the fridge overnight. This time allows the starch in the flour to hydrate so the crepe batter spreads easily for even cooking. Meanwhile, prepare the miso toffee sauce.

Brown Rice Kedgeree with Cucumber Raita

1 month ago | homegrown-kitchen.co.nz | Nicola Galloway

March 14th, 2025~~~Autumn feels like a comforting embrace. The summer heat has softened, while the chill of winter is still a way off. Experiencing the change of seasons is a privilege, one that deepens our connection to the environment. I notice that as autumn approaches, the meals I prepare become more warming and grounding, yet still feature a touch of freshness, as the days remain warm and an abundance of produce is still available.
Crumble Jam Bars + 30-Minute Berry Jam

1 month ago | homegrown-kitchen.co.nz | Nicola Galloway

February 27th, 2025~~~I keep reading how good it is to work the large leg muscles regularly for longevity. If you are a gardener you will likely be well covered here. Currently, I am doing almost daily squats to collect berries from my thorn-less blackberry patch. The plants grow long 2-3 meter leaders that need to be trained along wires or they will grow along the ground. It appears I need to tighten my training wires as the berries are hanging almost to the ground.

Double Cheese & Summer Veg Muffins

2 months ago | homegrown-kitchen.co.nz | Nicola Galloway

Preheat the oven to 190C (fan 170C). Line a medium-sized muffin tray with 10 paper muffin cups. Scoop the cottage cheese into a bowl and add half of the grated parmesan - set aside the remaining for the topping. Add the eggs, milk, and salt, and whisk to combine. In a separate mixing bowl combine the flour, baking powder, paprika and cayenne. Add the vegetables and herbs and toss to coat with the flour. Pour over the wet mixture and fold together until just combined.
