Our hub member Arwen is looking forward to receiving the black garlic in her divvy box this week!

She shared that she had a delicious black garlic and chilli pasta when she dined out recently. 🧄 🌶️

I am inspired to try it as well and found this recipe online:

https://www.recipesandplaces.com/how-to-make-black-garlic-pasta/

If you love pasta and umami flavours, you're going to want to try this black garlic pasta. It's basically twist on spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino. I’ve added a black garlic sauce to the mix, and it takes the dish to a whole new level. What is black garlic? Black garlic is regular garlic that.....

We’re back and ready to go!

Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday!

Another packing day done 😅. Started my day with this brain boosting smoothie! Made with Box Divvy fruit and veggies of course!!

Ingredients:
1 green apple, peeled & quartered
2 small beetroot, peeled & roughly chopped
50g blueberries (fresh or frozen)
1 tbsp grated ginger

If you like your smoothies a bit sweeter, add some fresh or frozen pineapple pieces🍍

Pop all ingredients in a blender, top with water and blend until smooth. This is quite pulpy but simply add water to achieve desired consistency.

New Product: Bon Arroz Paella Rice 🌾 🌾

A premium short-grain rice, grown in Catalonia, known for its high absorption while maintaining individual grains.

Ideal for paella, it absorbs three times its weight in liquid, enhancing flavour without becoming sticky.

New Product: Shepherd’s Toasted Agave Granola 🥣 🥣

Is this the best-tasting Granola in Sydney? We think so.

Real food with:

✔️rolled oats
✔️nuts
✔️seeds
✔️cinnamon
✔️salt

❌ nothing artificial
❌ no antioxidants
❌ preservatives, colours, flavours
❌ no processed sugar

Shepherd’s use maple syrup and agave to sweeten the Granola which tastes better and has a lower glycaemic index so it won’t cause a spike in blood sugar.

Shepherd’s is also family-owned and run, and there are very few muesli companies who can say the same thing!

Even Carman’s Kitchen, which is Australian-owned, has contracted out its manufacturing to a US-owned corporation (Arnott’s Campbells)!!

Supporting family businesses keeps jobs and profits in Australia. 🇦🇺

It’s 10% off the price for the next 2 weeks (until 9 October) - $9.95 per 500g pack.

Find in Pantry under Breakfast Cereals ➡️ Muesli and Granola)

28/09/2024

New Product: Black Garlic 🧄 🧄

Try this flavour-bomb packed with sweet umami flavours. It's regular white garlic that has been aged at very low temperatures for 3-4 weeks.

Black and slightly spongy like a dried date - and almost sweet but much milder than fresh garlic. Simply squeeze the garlic clove out of its skin, and slice or mash it up.

Use in any dish where you would normally use garlic such as a cheese platter, as a pizza topper, or to make a smooth garlic butter or vinaigrette.

Store in a cool and dry place, it'll keep for months. It’s available by the bulb at $1.86 each, and should be available for the next 2-3 weeks. Product of Thailand.

With the warmer weather finally here, I’m loving lighter meals like fresh, vibrant salads. This Pear, Rocket, and Avocado Salad is a personal favourite and is on my menu this week! I put my own twist on it by swapping Parmesan for maple-roasted walnuts and adding aromatic fresh basil. For the dressing, I keep it simple yet full of flavour with caramelised balsamic vinegar and extra virgin olive oil.

Had a chat with hub members Li and Jules today about the best ways to store our produce to keep it fresh. One tip we discussed was how to store rocket, as it can wilt quickly if not handled properly. Here’s a simple solution: place the rocket in a glass of water and cover it with a plastic bag (as shown in the picture below). Then, store it in the fridge. This method should keep it fresh for 4-5 days or even longer! This method works well for your fresh herbs as well.
