A very green tea

 I've just cooked the most delicious stir fry for tea. Most of the veg fresh from my garden.  I'd been told about cooking cucumber and as I was given a lovely one the other day I thought I'd give it a try. I was amazed at how tasty it was and I'll be doing that often once mine start producing decent sized ones. We had kale,onions,cucumber, courgette, petit pois and radish. I fried them all in a mixture of olive oil and butter then tossed in some cooked chicken.  When it was all nicely cooked I chucked in some cooked rice noodles. It was reasonably low carb and utterly delicious.

  2. I have never, ever cooked cucumber. What a good idea. I'm guessing stir frying really. xx
