Post 59: And for two week's running, success is mine

After early enthusiasm for this week's box, somehow I'd struggled to use any of it, besides in my unimaginatively titled stir-fry. In another triumph for unimaginative recipe titles, last night I went for:
- Cabbage and Kale accompanied by everything else that was left a roasted. And Chicken.

IT turned out pretty fair.
- New potatoes cut into bite sized pieces, into oven for ~40 mins with chilli oil, halved chilies, some very rough chopped bits of garlic
- followed by courgette & shallots for 30 mins
- carrots for 20 mins (they were only small)
- and randomly broad beans just for the last 5.
All stirred regularly. To ensure an all round charring

The cabbage and kale were just boiled; traditional stylee. And to complete some chicken cooked in paprika. I didn't both taking a photo; because the kale looked like something a slug might've crawled out of. It had, two of them, but an hour before. The whole dish was fairly nice for something thrown together. I liked the hard edged texture of the broad beans; although I'd guess this is not how they are intended to be enjoyed.

I still can't really think of any redeeming feature to kale. It's a faff to cook by the time you've taken all the branches out. Then it just taste like the worst cabbage ever.
