Shopping tonight, so I've sketched out a few recipes ideas for the following week which will best use the veg. The problem I'm foreseeing this week is the sheer amount of green veg I have. I am not normally a big 'leaf' eater... but this weak I have spinach, chard, lettuce and spring greens (which look a little bit like pak choi... not sure what they are). So I plan to make a large amount of green leaf soup, which I can then freeze. Spinach and lettuce can go in sandwiches, but if I have soup and leftovers then I'm not likely to be eating many sandwiches this week. I also plan to get some puff pastry and do a veg tart with the courgette, pepper and whatever else I have left!
