Banana and green ginger muffins

For breakfast or morning tea how about using up the over-ripe bananas in the fruit bowl in some muffins with zing!

Wet mix: a quarter cup sugar, half a cup margarine, 4 ripe mashed bananas, 2 eggs, a quarter cup diced crushed green ginger

Broad Beans (Salad & Hummus)

1 November 2015/in Mains, Recipes, Starters /by Darryl Butler

We all love spring. As a newbie gardener I am very excited to come back after a month away to see the broad beans that were sown months ago laden with pods. If your broad beans are young enough they don’t need to be double peeled,
but in most cases after shelling your pods of beans, you blanch them in boiling salted water for a minute or so, refresh them in cold water and then peel the outer skin … Read more »
